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.

The town and area around Bowness are beautiful.
The town and area around Bowness are beautiful. We were able to walk and visit an amazing Arts and Crafts house and then see a very undeveloped part of the lake shore on foot. The ferry across the lake was nearby and the walk to Hill Top to see Beatrix Potter's house was beautiful and well signed. We had good meals in a pub and bistro near to Fairfield House so not needing to use the car made the location great for us.

The hotel is in the heart of Bowness-on-Windermere just set back off the Main Street and just seconds away from all the local amenities, pubs, restaurants. Thought it was a really nice touch emailing recommendations of places to eat, drink, visit on our stay. Very helpful if you have never visited the lakes before. Rooms were immaculate and was well worth the money. A little hidden gem. Definitely will be booking again.
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.
The pool and spa was really nice, this part had good facilities and was a decent size although was very busy at one time. The bed was really comfy and huge, but they said they’d gave us a free room upgrade to a bigger one so maybe in the ‘snug’ room the bed would have been smaller. Staff overall helpful. Location to Bowness on Windermere good at less than a 10 minute walk.
Perfectly situated to access lake Windermere, as well as the towns of Bowness on Windermere, Windermere and Ambleside.
Parking at the rear, with Comfortable rooms, with everything you need, including an awesome shower!
Simon and Joan were the perfect hosts - helpful and knowledgable. Plus, their cooked breakfasts are gorgeous.
The location was spectacular, very quiet yet only minutes walking distance from the lake and shops etc... So much choice for food and entertainment. We chose to eat out rather than have breakfast at the hotel, this was only because we were up and out. We are already thinking of staying again next year! Loved the place.
The property was very clean and in an excellent location, just a short walk to the lake / bowness on Windermere town centre;
the owners was very friendly and helpful, The full English breakfast was excellent everything cooked just perfect
we really enjoyed it we will be returning in the near future for sure.
Beautiful hotel in ideal location in Bowness on Windermere with nice gardens and lake views. Comfortable bed and nice bedding. There was plenty of choice at breakfast and we had a table overlooking lake. We stayed here many years ago and the hotel has been nicely upgraded since.
The hotel was ideally located to town for restaurants, shops and the lake. There was plenty space to park. Our room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very good with plenty of choice to eat and set us up for the day. The lounge areas were bright and comfortable.
