We had a lovely week here. The apartment was in a fantastic location for Bowness on Windermere and was just a 10 minute walk to the town. The apartment was comfortable and well equipped for our stay. There is such a good range of pubs and restaurants in the town we ate out every night. We really enjoyed our stay and would consider returning in the future.
