Inoka & Chris
No children aged 0-8 years old. No pets. Sorry, no exceptions to house rules, please respect this. Biskey Bowness boasts two beautiful bedrooms, in an apartment comprising the lower two floors, of a large four storey building. It’s a beautifully quiet location, yet within walking distance of the pier and the many pubs/restaurants/cafe’s - so no need to drive, meaning everyone can relax, it's perfect for enjoying the Lakes. The private parking space is very useful too, like gold dust in Bowness.
We are Chris and Inoka and run the Sonata Guesthouse, Kendal, and Biskey in Bowness-on-Windermere (a self-catering option). We have two little ones, so in between the school run and term times we squeeze in some fun and a few trips ourselves. We love travel – around the Ullswater and Wasdale this year! around the UK and abroad and food always leaves us, lasting memories of our journeys, like photographs in taste and smell.

Biskey Bowness is ideally situated in the village of Bowness. We are lucky enough to enjoy peaceful surroundings yet only minutes from the town centre and approximately 0.4 miles from the shores of Lake Windermere. Bowness-on-Windermere is a beautiful part of the Lake District National Park with restaurants and bars all within a 5-10 mins walk from the house, so no need to drive everywhere, meaning everyone can relax. There are also great car/bus links to the rest of the Lakes and the country with the railway station 1.2 miles away in Windermere village and the M6 motorway only 29 mins drive away. The nearest bus stop is outside the Royalty Cinema, Bowness, situated on the main road in the village. There are regular buses and additional Tourist open top services throughout the summer season. A short walk from the centre of Bowness is Cockshot Point on the lake shore. It’s the perfect place for a family picnic and a paddle in the lake. Alternatively walk 4–5-minutes from the house, up Biskey Howe Road and through a small, wooded area, it takes you to the Biskey Howe viewpoint. The beautiful and tucked-away corner gives fantastic views over the lake.
