Everything is fine, great location and very close to the pier.
Everything is fine, great location and very close to the pier. The flat is very clean and tiny. The only thing you need to concern is the flat is on second floor but there’s no lift, so elderly people could have a trouble to getting in and out. Good staying at all, highly recommend.

Very nice apartment in a very convenient position.
Very nice apartment in a very convenient position. Ideal for the lake and shops , restaurants and cafes in Bowness. Well thought out accommodation with lovely views of the lake . Kitchen rather cramped but had everything you need for a weeks holiday. No problems with noise but I guess that high season the main road would be very noisy and hence the earplugs provided . Handy for the Windermere launch .

Stayed for a much needed lockdown getaway and was superb. Ideal situation for everything you need that is local and great for getting out further afield and exploring everything the Lake District has to offer. Shame about the late entry and early departure times due to Covid but completely understand the necessity! The apartment couldn’t have been cleaner and felt very safe.

Small but perfectly formed. This apartment was great, well equipped and furnished to a good standard and a lovely view of the lake. Due to its central location it can on occasion be noisy at either end of the day but would reccomend.

We loved being able to see the boats and the location in Bowness is great, near plenty of shops and things to do. Overall the flat was very clean and everything you could possibly need is provided, we will definitely be back next year

Directions were perfect and just a short walk and 42 steps from car to front door.
Directions were perfect and just a short walk and 42 steps from car to front door. Although the flat faced the main road it wasn’t noisy apart from the occasional vehicle going over a metal access cover in the road. Really handy for lots of eating places and the cinema. A real bonus was the Co-op so close for fresh croissants in the morning.
It was well equipped though the internet access was slow so I was unable to stream a football match on BT Sport. The OS map on the wall was a great feature, useful for planning during meal times. The flat appeared to have been recently renovated including the kitchen and bathroom. Furniture was virtually new and of good quality.
We didn’t need to store much food, which is probably a good thing as there is limited cupboard space in the kitchen. The small freezer was handy.

Bright, modern, clean apartment in an excellent, central location.
Bright, modern, clean apartment in an excellent, central location. Fulfilled our expectations. Only downside is a bit of a walk from car to apartment but only an issue with loading and unloading at either end of stay. Good to have parking space, but would be a bit of a squeeze for a large car. Two flights of stairs up to the apartment. Would recommend Trattoria underneath the apartment, the cinema a couple of minutes walk away and the 599 bus which stops a minute away.

Lovely apartment, very clean with everything we needed. The weather wasn't very good during our stay, but plenty to do nearby, we managed a boat trip in between showers, visited the aquarium, steam train, Beatrix Potter museum and cinema. Lots of lovely places to eat nearby. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend Lake View.
