The location was just perfect. It was central for us to adventure out and explore the Lake District. It was also an exciting location for relaxation in the evenings. Lots of fine restaurants and pubs to choose from with a lovely holiday atmosphere abounding everywhere.
Regretfully the car ferry was out of order and not available to us. That was a bit of a nuisance as our touring plans had envisaged that being available. None the less we had a fabulous holiday and were not overly put-out by the loss.

It is so easy going in Bowness we try to come here as often as we can. There’s something to do for everyone young and old. We have a dog now and he’s so relaxed here many places are dog friendly. Bars and restaurants brilliant especially Italians on the Main Street. Our favourite place can’t wait to come back

I liked the Beatrix Potter museum, Holehird Gardens, and Stagshaw gardens, Hayes garden centre up in Ambleside. Booked an amazing day trip with Mountain Goat tours that took us around ten Lakes of the Lake District with our amazing guide Mark Shipley. the restaurants I went to was Francine's up in Windermere, Urban Food House (superb) and the Magic Roundabout. I was within walking distance of everything in Bowness. I probably would avoid booking in the school holidays, was very busy everywhere. the weather was very changeable but it is the wettest area of Great Britain.

Visiting Bowness in November was a great idea.
Visiting Bowness in November was a great idea. I have been in the summer before and it is so busy it is unpleasant and parking is difficult. I would advise visitors to choose a hotel with private parking - preferably free, some charge for parking - leave a car there and walk to town or to the lakeside. Also be aware that Bowness is built on a steep hill and not all roads have pavements.

All three rooms were excellent in size and space, and two of the rooms had a lovely balcony. The staff were friendly and approachable. The restaurant at Burn How is excellent with good variety of breakfast options. The location is superb and within easy reach of town centre as well as the lake. The free parking was just outside the front door of each room and there are two separate entrances to the hotel. There is a lovely garden at the back which allows for a gentle stroll and sitting down with a drink.
Rooms were clean and spacious. Little extras in the room were nice. Got a lake and mountain view without paying for a room that offered the views which was a bonus. Staff were warm and welcoming. Very impressed with the stay. Breakfast is buffet style with lots of options and the food was lovely. 2 minute walk to the centre of town. Nice and quiet on a night. Didn't hear much noise from other guests rooms. Will definitely be staying here again.
We have just returned (a party of 7) from a 3 night break in the Sandown. The location of the house for Bowness on Windermere is ideal, more than adequate parking for 4 cars,
All 4 bedrooms with en-suite beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean, the living area, dining room, and fully equipped kitchen were exceptional. From the initial booking to leaving on our last day, the whole experience was faultless; we will definitely return.
The cottage was spacious with plenty of seating in the lounge & dining area, especially if there were 10 guests staying. The kitchen was well equipped, and the hot tub was lovely to use anytime of day.
The TV could be linked to Amazon/Netflicks and wi-fi enabled streaming.
The grounds were very pleasant.
The location was central to the Lake District, and 15-20 min walk into Bowness. However, it's a long uphill walk back.
Excellent location and only a short walk to Bowness on Windermere pier as well as the shops and other eateries if you desire. Friendly and helpful staff -we couldn't fault our break. We booked the Deluxe Bay room and it didn't disappoint. A nice large room with a huge comfortable bed and a lovely big bathroom. Good wi fi and parking right next to our property/room. Breakfast excellent choice and very tasty.
Beautiful cottage, comfortable and stylish. Fab location with only a short walk to the lake of Bowness on Windermere and very close to shops, pubs and restaurants. Very well equipped with everything you need for a lovely stay. Enjoyed the garden in the sunshine perfect place to relax and put your feet up whilst having a break from.exploring the Lake District. Its a perfect base.
Apartment is central to Bowness on Windermere. Although I never actually met Gail, she was very friendly and helpful, and available if needed. The apartment had everything you would expect. Cleaning materials, complimentary toiletries, fully equipped kitchen, a dish washer and washing machine. Lovely place. I would recommend it.
The hotel completely exceeded our expectations. When we arrived, we were greeted by Nick who added so many lovely extras to the place. The beds are extremely comfy and every detail has been well thought of. The hotel itself is in a brilliant location in the heart of Bowness, a 2 minute walk to all the pubs and local shops.
Lake View guesthouse was such a lovely stay. The room was lovely and spacious, it was clean and in a brilliant off-central location to Bowness. The owner Peter was absolutely brilliant and made the stay all the better. Breakfast was delicious as well! Absolutely lovely place to stay :)
The hotel location and quality of service was excellent. We asked for a view of Lake Windermere from our bedroom, and the view was stunning. The only fault with our stay was that the spa, which was part of the reason we booked this hotel, was unavailable or fully booked.
Hotel has good location - breakfast wasnt available in price, but there are plenty of nice places to get your breakfast within seconds of the property. The rooms are clean and ideal for an overnight stay. Staff are very friendly and helpful if required.
Love how central it is to bowness on Windermere! We walked to one of the local pubs for tea and walked back! Absolutely loved the outdoor facilities, even though it was raining it didn’t matter as we relaxed in the hot tub with a drink watching a film.
Excellent location, rite in the heart of Bowness on Windermere. Room was well laid out and had everything we needed for our stay. Great selection at breakfast and very friendly and efficient staff. Would highly recommend the Angel Inn.
Fantastic location and views from hotel terrace, very clean and staff very helpful.
Decor lovely, although bit blingy in parts. Had an upgrade to a hot tub room as spa was out of action but knew this before we went.
Would return.
Excellent hotel, room, facilities and food was exceptional. Easy ten minute walk to local shopping, drinking and eating. Really friendly staff, a real asset.
