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.

The hotel is very homely and welcoming from the off. The lovely open fire place gives a real sense of Home. The fact that we were traveling with a small dog did not bother the hotel, and Luna was allowed free rent of all facilities, except the leisure club and the restaurant.

The location was perfect to access our tours, restaurants and pubs. We liked being a little walk out of the town as it was very busy in the town during our visit. We both enjoyed the breakfast buffet and the selection of hot breakfasts. The room was comfortable and had all we needed. The staff were very friendly and one particular lady remembered we liked being by the window to watch the birds and made sure we sat there for breakfast.

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.

We enjoyed walking around the town, despite the rain. Car parking was expensive and it was busy, despite being term time. We had a delicious breakfast at a cafe over a bakery. We loved sitting at the lakeside watching the boats.

Bowness is a fabulous base to sightseeing from.

Bowness is a fabulous base to sightseeing from. It's a lovely little area of the Lake District. Very busy at times and too much traffic and not enough parking spaces. Best to get there early if you need to park. Lots of bars, restaurants, cafes and shops. Sunday market. Lots to see and do.

The location is amazing, you are so close to Bowness on Windermere. Once you park (I parked on the next street along and found parking easily) you can walk to the numerous shops and restaurants nearby. The palm pad to get into the flat is a good idea so you can come and go without worrying about a key (but the door itself needs attention!) We asked last minute to extend our checkout and we did get given an extra hour which was helpful.

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
