This beautiful apartment makes a super base for a family or friends exploring the beguiling Lake District together, not least for its central location in ever-popular Bowness-on-Windermere. Guests will find themselves spoiled for choice, with a plethora of appealing Lakeland activities and attractions on the doorstep alongside a great range of shops, cafes and restaurants too. Lake Cruises on Windermere offer a wonderful way to explore the spectacular area that surrounds the Lake District’s largest lake, and Ambleside, the aquarium, the motor museum, the steam railway and endless breath taking fell walks are all enjoyably reached when travelling by boat. For Beatrix Potter fans, the Windermere ferry runs from Bowness-on-Windermere to Sawrey and from there, Hill Top - the author’s former home - is only a short walk. Closer still, the World of Beatrix Potter in Bowness is just a few moments from the property. And if the lakeside location makes water activities too tempting to resist, there are several water sports centres around the shores of the lake, offering everything from paddle boarding to high-octane wake surfing.

With spacious rooms, tasteful décor and excellent attention to detail, guests at this appealing two-bedroom property are offered style and comfort. Accommodation ranges across the ground and lower ground floors. On the ground floor, you’ll find spacious living areas, including a chic, bright lounge, flooded with light from a large bay window and with plush sofa, armchair seating and Smart TV, a smart kitchen/diner with a dining table and chairs seating six. A family bathroom with a bath and and overhead shower can also be found on this level, along with the first bedroom. Stairs lead down to the lower ground floor where you'll find the second super-king bedroom  with an en-suite shower room. The beds can be presented as twins on request.

The apartment has a sunny patio, just off the kitchen, with garden furniture so that guests can relax and enjoy al fresco meals in good weather.

Flat was a lovely generous size. Clean and tidy. Everything you could need provided for. Secure parking on site. Location excellent 2 min walk to town and 5 / 10 min down to windermere lake. Plenty of pubs and eating places on your doorstep and supermarket just into the town. Buses from town to visit the local area run regularly.

Good Location for touring the lakes, Various shop's and restaurants near by. One of the Bedrooms is situated in the basement of the house and a Damp, Musty smell is evident at all times. Access to this basement bedroom is difficult if any member of the party has mobility issues.

Lovely well equipped property, in a very good location close to town - had the essentials for us in parking right outside (my Mum cant walk far) and comfortable beds! The hill to town was not long but very step so be aware, took us 10 mins to walk but elderly people may struggle. We were already planning to drive and drop off my elderly parents inRead more town so made no difference to us. Hide

Ideal quiet location, close to the lakeside attractions and many restaurants and pubs. Apartment is very clean and spacious with seating area at the rear. Yes, the road leading to the apartment is steep and some may struggle, but we had a wheelchair user in our group so we decided to walk further up Lake Road and along Biskey Howe Rd and right intoRead more Craig Walk, this brought us to the rear of the property.

Amazing location. Only a 5 minute walk to the waterfront, with choice of two grocery stores close by. Very clean, spacious and comfortable accommodation. Well equipped kitchen and large bedrooms. The showers were excellent in both bedrooms. Very quiet.

We really enjoyed our stay at Elterwater apartment. The location and parking were perfect as was the layout of the accommodation. It was very comfortable and the beds were great. The damp smell mentioned by others was an issue and was not improved by the dehumidifier or reed diffusers. Other than that, we loved it and would recommend.
