Situated in the heart of the village of Bowness-on-Windermere, this adult only guesthouse overlooks Lake Windermere. The ferry terminal and the marina are 3 minutes' walk away.

The amount of space was great having a separate living room to the bedroom. Parking was about a 10 minute walk away - if that. And the parking price was discounted from the owner's permit. The location couldn't have been any more central. Also lovely views of the lake from the bedroom. The owners also lent us a brolly which was really kind. Proper milk in the fridge made a difference to us.

    The apartment was great and just what we needed with the little open plan kitchen and lounge. Nice and comfortable for our own small prepared breakfasts. Great location. Parking is best a little down the road, it is safe and quite cheap for 24 hours, we dropped our bags at the property and then went to park the car in the carpark.
