Bowness on Windermere is one of the most popular Lakeland destinations and The Stable Nest ground floor studio apartment is just a short stroll from an excellent choice of shops, cafés and restaurants. Located in a particularly attractive stone building, the accommodation is part of a conversion of a 19th-century former stables. The Stable Nest offers all the benefits of a hotel room but with the added bonus of a fully equipped kitchen. It is perfect for self catering, but with so many attractions, pubs and restaurants on your doorstep, you’ll be far too busy enjoying yourself to bother cooking! With dedicated parking behind the building, you can leave your car without having to worry about traffic or parking charges.
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 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.
The Stable Nest (ref UK1208) can be booked together with The Round Window (ref CC128207) and The Stable Loft (ref CC128239) to accommodate up to 6 guests.

The accommodation was in a fantastic location and a lovely walk down to the lake. It is just looking very tired in places and needs a bit of TLC. It looks like it is being sold so perhaps the new owner will spend some much-needed money on it. The bed was comfortable and the little kitchen was good, but things like grubby paint work and a very poorly draining shower etc need to be addressed. We had a great time but likely wouldn't return to this property in particular unless there was a refurbishment.
