The location of the hotel was spot on. The staff were all very friendly and professional. The spa facilities were good and the swimming pool is a decent size to actually swim in. This was one of the fundamental criteria for choosing this hotel and it didn't disappoint.

Lovely town center with lots of local independent shops for gifts and some main chains for groceries (Coop and Tesco nearby). All kinds of cuisine on offer if eating out.
Windermere a 30min walk away with a similarly nice town centre with unique finds for the Lakes. An abundance of galleries, outdoor and craft shops.
A good base for walks to the West of the lake, or bus trips to Ambleside, Grasmere and Penrith.

Had a weekend here.
Had a weekend here. Could have spent longer, mainly because I got caught in Storm Bert which wiped out a day when all routes out of Bowness were blocked. However there are plenty of pubs, bars, restaurants shops to visit in the town. Luckily the electric hire boats were running on the Sunday so took the opportunity to spend an hour on the lake which was great fun. The open top bus in November is something else! Favourite bar was bodega. Favourite eatery was magic roundabout. Favourite modern pub was Angel Inn. Favourite old school pub was Hole in t Wall. Favourite gift shop was the Lake Information Centre

Charming old world town with spectacular views of lake Windermere. Many options for places to stay mostly only a few minute's walk from the shops , restaurants , pubs and bars with the boat piers easily accessible and well organised. Beatrix Potter museum definitely worth a visit. Boat trips were great for exploring other parts of the lake including Lakeside and Ambleside at bottom and top ends. Spent a happy three nights in Bowness and wouldn't hesitate to visit again some day.

I have been visiting it for 30 years it's like my second home. I always try new restaurants and pubs. I love bus hopping as my mobility is not good. The 508 over Kirkstone pass is my favourite. I found a little Italian restaurant in Windermere call San Pietro the staff and food were excellent. Can't believe I haven't spotted it before. We be back in a few months time.

Loads of restaurants and eateries, many providing evening entertainment Even a theatre.
We hired an electric boat for a day which was great fun.
Also walked up to Brant Fell. A short but very steep hike. Amazing views over the lake and towards the mountains.

We've been to Bowness on Windermere quite a few times over the years and always stayed at Storrs Hall hotel. We decided to stay at a different hotel on our last trip which came right up to our expectations. Bowness on Windermere is always a nice place to visit and full of good restaurants.
We tried a Thai restaurant for an evening meal on main street. Excellent as was our visit.

Second stay for us ,last time we stayed was November 2021, so we knew what we were booking before arrival. Location is very good being at the quieter end of town less than 20 yards from the bus stop . Close enough to everything Bowness on Windermere has to offer with shops and restaurants literally on the doorstep.
Bowness Guest House is exceptional! Stylish, immaculately clean, phenomenal showers and the warmest of welcomes. You have absolute freedom to come and go with your own key fob and it is so near to Bowness on Windermere high street, yet just far enough away to be peaceful. Utter bliss.
The hosts were all very accommodating, they clearly work hard to make Holly Cottages warm and inviting.
I really appreciated their hospitality. Also the location is very convenient, close to a few local pubs and a short walk down to the pier.
the location was fantastic right in the centre of Bowness on Windermere. All staff very friendly the food was lovely.
