All very compact but on the whole, it just did the trick. Would have like it better if breakfast could have been provided.

It was very comfortable and clean

We had a room at the back which you could smell the food in from the resturaunt below us, we couldnt close the window because the room was too hot, could have done with a fan but this didnt make the stay any less enjoyable, i would still stay again

In the heart of bowness, everything is on the doorstep, rooms are decorated nicely, they were clean, bed was really comfy

The location.

Stayed in July 2025

Great location in the middle of Bowness an easy walk to the lakeside and all the amenities. A very well run pub can be busy but as it is spread over two floors easy to find a quiet spot if wished. Plenty of choice of drinks a good and varied food menu of better than usual pub fare make the Albert a winner. We had a room at the front on the second floor which was a good size very clean and well appointed the en-suite was clean and of a good standard. As it was on the second floor there no noise from either the bars below or the outside road. The only negative was no wardrobe only hangers on the back of the door but that’s just me being picky. The staff are pleasant approachable and ready to help which made for a comfortable all round experience which I would not hesitate to repeat . Well done the Albert.

Nothing really only and would stay again.

It’s central position in Bowness-on-Windermere which provides a convenient starting point for exploring the town and its amenities.

- Shower didn’t drain properly so was probably a little clogged. - blind was broken and inconvenient to open and close. - quite loud at night. None of these really impacted our stay though, we still had a lovely time.

- clean and comfy room - friendly staff - great location - not super expensive for central bowness

I know that I am in a minority and regarded as a freak by many but, apart from being allergic to them, I don't like dogs. There you go, I've said it! String me up! Like most places, the Albert is 'dog friendly'. If you want to eat without dogs sniffing and jumping around, the upstairs is designated a dog free area so you can escape to enjoy your meal there - this isn't a comfort offered by many pubs. The reason I have stopped short of making this a 5* review is that when I had my evening meal, a party of four arrived with two less than fragrant dogs, one of which was allowed to jump up and devour crumbs from the table next to mine. This is not the fault of the management of the pub but, on the table to my right, a party of five had a hairy though well behaved dog which was stroked, fondled and generally fussed over by one of the waitresses. Minutes later I saw her bringing out meals to other diners. There was surely no time to scrub her hands and, even so, dog hairs could easily have passed from the dog to her clothing. I realise that I should have eaten my meal upstairs and recommend that fellow Cruellas do likewise.

For many years before Covid I often stayed at the Albert for a couple of nights once or twice a year. They used to serve a 'complimentary' breakfast which was excellent but it was explained by the lovely staff member that this was no longer a practical option. The ensuite rooms were always spotless, comfortable and equipped with toiletries, a decent hairdryer and a plentiful supply of tea, coffee, hot chocolate ( hot chocolate sadly missing from most accommodation these days) and biscuits. The room I had this time, one that I have stayed in on many occasions before, had been decorated since my last stay and was just as comfortable as I remembered it and smarter. There was also an iron and ironing board. The Albert holds an exceptional position in Bowness for proximity to Lake Windermere, shops, restaurants, the Old Laundry Theatre, boats and buses in case you want to visit other the towns in the area. The railway station in Windermere is easily accessible by bus and a decent downhill walk to the Albert. The large car park on Rayrigg Road is just yards (or metres) away. I have always enjoyed at least one evening meal here during my stay and, if just visiting Bowness for the day, I usually have a lunchtime meal. The hard-working staff members are friendly and helpful. Although I can't afford to stay as often as I would like to these days, the prices for accommodation, food and drink are typical of prices in the area. I highly recommend the Albert.

Bit of a noisy pub late a night over the road. But it did not affect our stay.

Location, lovely pub, great food and drinks.

Just the traffic noise

The location & the pub its self very nicely done & the outside terrace was brilliant.

Location was ideal, everything we wanted in Bowness was all within a five minute walk. The staff were incredibly friendly throughout, and always accommodating for anything we needed.

Too noisy, there was a stag and hen weekend. Stags were shouting at 3am in the morning. We were over the outside area could smell cigarette smoke in bedroom. Builders were there making noise in the morning we were not aware this was going to happen. Location lovely, would stay again but only in a school term when it would be quieter and in the week Monday to Friday. Maybe we will try Keswick next. Seating area could have been cleaner.

The location was excellent. Food lovely. Staff lovely.

It's to noisy, not the pub's fault.we was in a front room , the road & people walking home from different pub's. It kept me awake half of the night . For that reason only I don't think I would stay again .

Was a lovely stay

We were unaware till we arrived that there was going to be a dj on but thought as we were on the 2nd floor we'd be OK. We weren't. DJ played till midnight and then we noticed how noisy the plumbing was. I'm sure it a great place for some people but not us!

The staff were lovely
