Location right in the centre of Bowness was fantastic. Property was well equipped with everything at hand. 2 good size bedrooms and plenty of living space. The views to Lake Windermere are quite distant, though enjoyed from the balcony each day. If you are looking for a great base in the Lakes, close to the amenities then this is a good property.

A nice, comfortable, well presented property very close to Bowness town center - about a 5 minute walk. This is the second time we have stayed and would be very happy to book again. It is well equipped with everything you could need for a week or two, good size rooms and firm but comfortable beds. Being able to park the car in a garage is a big pluRead mores as parking in Bowness is sometimes at a premium. Would recommend you close the blinds if its going to be a sunny day as the lounge get very warm. Hide
