All the apartments accommodate 2 guests and make an ideal choice for couples wanting a romantic break. The apartments are ideal for self-catering although with so many attractions, pubs and restaurants on your doorstep, you’ll be far too busy enjoying yourselves to bother cooking! With dedicated parking, you can leave your car at the property and explore the area without having to worry about traffic and parking charges.
The Round Window is created in the roof space of former stables and retains many quirky features. Access to the apartment is by a metal spiral staircase, all adding to the character and charm. Internally, it is delightfully presented in a neutral, contemporary theme. With chandeliers and wine glasses at the ready, The Round Window facilities will make you feel at home in no time.
A wealth of independent shops, boutiques, cafés and superb international cuisine restaurants are all found within a short stroll along with the attraction of Lake Windermere itself. For the more energetic visitor, rowing boats are available on the lake, or you can enjoy a more leisurely steamer ride on the lake to see the stunning landscape. Why not wander up to Windermere town where there is a choice of shops and eateries, as well as a traditional cinema and The World of Beatrix Potter attraction? There are regular boat trips over to Ambleside and Lakeside, the latter of which is home to the Lakes Aquarium. From here you can also take a steam train along the Lakeside-Haverthwaite railway. The bus and railway stations give scope to travel further afield and explore the wider area. Walkers can enjoy access to a variety of walks from Bowness. Take a gentle stroll to the lake, or a more strenuous hike to the peaceful valley of Kentmere, the landscape and surroundings are second to none. Shop, pub and restaurant 100 yards.

We enjoyed our stay and the round window the stables was a good place to stay. Parked outside the bed very comfortable we only ate breakfast in the property ate out in the evenings. Everything was in good condition you could cook or microwave if needed. Heaters to keep you warm TVs which we didnt use. Bathroom could do with some shelving but very small space hot shower very good. Location great walked everywhere after arrival. Could do with a light at the front door as had to use a torch to put code into the door. Table and chairs for dining good comfortable living furniture. Would recommend to others and definitely go again. Plenty to do and see in the area eating out great loads of places. If needed use public transport we walked to the hawkeshead ferry and walked from there for the day.

Excellent location in the heart of Bownes-on-Windermere, lots of things to do locally. The accommodation had everything we required, the bathroom was a little small and compact and tended to steam up when showering, the window was too high to open to ventilate the bathroom but otherall a great few days spent in the lakes.

The apartment is compact and well converted. It has most of the facilities one might need. I have only one small gripe and that is that there is nowhere in the bathroom to put down my shaver, or a washbag (something that goes with us on EVERY holiday). A simple shelf over the loo would do the trick and would occupy a safe space because the loo stands off the wall by the depth of the cistern. Thanks for an otherwise comfortable stay.
