    Great location, although we definitely left fitter than when we arrived. Bowness after the school holidays was just about the right level of buzziness for us. Good host communications re. check-in and check-out.

    The property has everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Nice to be able to make breakfast where you are staying. Had a nice TV and good internet. Found the location very good. Can be down into the centre within 5 minutes.
