10 out of 10. The whole experience was fantastic especially since it was our Honeymoon we couldn't have asked for a better stay. I mentioned when booking for a jug of dairy free milk, which we received in the room but also in a fridge which from my understanding not all rooms come with, again this was going above the call of duty. The room was amazing and cleaned to perfection. We ordered room service which again was second to none and when we dined at the on site restaurant again absolutely fantastic. We've already suggested that we will be coming back next year for our first anniversary.

I like everything! The hotel was modern and very clean. The room is quite small but was expected, since we were just staying for a night. I felt very lucky that we got the room thats facing the lake windermere. There a lot of choices for the breakfast well, we had a very filling breakfast. Even the breakfast place had a nice view of the lake! Location is 10/10 as well, we drove a car, but we parked in hotel first then walk to town because it was just a 5-10 walk to the center.

We visited the lake and went on the boat trip.

We visited the lake and went on the boat trip. It is the 3 rd time I have been here but the last visit was 10 years ago, so much has changed and there is now not as much to see on that same boat trip. Such a shame. We ate in a local cafe or rather my husband did. He loved the cafe just off the boat that sold home made massive millionaires shortbread, the highlight of his day hahah this cafe was at the opposite end of the lake from the main side of the lake.

The proximity to get around the lakes, good transfer links by bus and boat to see around the lakes, if you didn’t want to travel by car. The views were amazing. There are many excellent pubs and restaurants with friendly atmosphere.

Bowness is a pretty little village/town on the edge of lake Windermere. The people are kind and happy. There is so much to see and do i go twice a year! It doesn't matter what the weather you can find something/somewhere to entertain yourself. I recommend for families, and couples young or old, but it is hilly so take walking shoes!!

Bowness is the busiest tourist place in the lakes.

Bowness is the busiest tourist place in the lakes. Whilst some people might not like that, it does have a multitude of places to eat, drink, wander and enjoy the vista. Please try Porta, I have been visiting the restaurant for over 30 years, it is fabulous and for me is a must visit venue. I know it’s touristy, but that’s for a reason, it is a really nice place to be.

The closeness of the facilities in Bowness on Windermere within walking distance from the Guest House. The warm friendly welcome from the Host on arrival. Excellent breakfasts during our stay. Comfort and cleanliness of the room with Tea and coffee facilities. The fact that there was parking on site was a bonus too.
