    Excellent base for exploring the wider Lakes, however Bowness is very beautiful in its own right! Lots of options to relax and entertain people of all ages. A wealth of dining experiences are available and the scenery is out of this world! Travellers with limited mobility may struggle with some terrain (unsurprisingly, lots of steep gradients), however there are plenty of places that are easy to get around, and public transport is fantastic. The people of the North West are lovely, friendly, and very welcoming. Food is varied, tasty and always generously portioned. There’s something about the clean air in the Lakes that immediately makes you relax and unwind. A gorgeous part of the world!

    bowness get very busy at peak times... still a nice a place to visit. seeing and feeding the swans and geese was nice .... just be aware there where lots of rats round there getting the food from the floor. Alot of transport from here, boat trips and lots off buses. Go on the mountain goat trip takes you all over the lakes in a mini coach with a guided tour. A fantastic place to eat is broadwalk bar and grill... you have to pre book to get in, if you manage to go get seated upstairs and ask for tubbs .. a waiter at broadwalk what a fantastic bloke, he is so funny, always cracking jokes to you and the kids.

    A great place to visit, our best tip if you have a bus pass pay for the whole day to park and use the excellent bus service which saves paying for parking in each town you visit. Buses run every 20 minutes to Grassmere via Windmere and Ambleside.

    This hotel is fabulous, we were really happy with the location. The rooms are spotless and ideal for a few nights away. Also it is dog friendly. The outside seating area in the sunshine was amazing. Staff were so kind and friendly. We only ate one evening in the hotel and unfortunately the food was not hot enough and there was too much salad. The breakfast self service is also great, you can ask for cooked breakfast at the bar. We will visit again

    The apartment is centrally located in Bowness on Windermere. Close to shops and very handy to lake Windermere. It contained everything we needed for our two night stay which was very comfortable. Ashley provided detailed instructions on how to access the apartment as well providing parking during our stay. We enjoyed walks around the village and taking ferry rides on the lake
