We liked this place. It's 10 minutes' drive from Bowness. We checked-in online and receptionist gave us keys. We were given information about the spa area and the restaurant. The room vas better than in the pictures. It was quite spacious and clean. Our room 40 had a separate entrance. The bathroom was spotless. There were some toiletries and hair dryer. We had a bath and shower. Then we went to the restaurant. The dinner was tasty and the portions were large. We were chilling and relaxing outside as the weather was sunny and warm.
The pool, jacuzzi and sauna were fab.
In the morning we had breakfast. Traditional English breakfast was good even better than other hotels provide. I'd like to admit that there was plenty of parking in the parking lot. What I liked most was the silence in the morning. Sounds of nature and clean air. Thank you very much for such a lovely weekend.
By the way, our tour was: Bowness - boat to Ambleside - bus to Grasmere - hotel. The next day hotel - Bowness car ferry (7 pounds per car) - Beatrix Potter House (booked in advanced) - Castle - Ambleside - home.

the room was a great size with lovely lake views - those views came at a price as hotel up a very very steep hill.
anyone with mobility issues would struggle - the steepness of the hill was not highlighted on either this website or Ro Hotel website that i could see

Where I stayed was quiet and away from the main road but only a very short walk to the nearest main road bars restaurants gift shops for example.
10 to 15 minute walk down to Bowness on Windermere pier at the pierced the views were great we took one journey on one of the fairies which gave us wonderful views of the surrounding area the boat was extremely clean and very smooth.
Buses were regular every 20 minutes to half an hour it was a bit confusing at some bus stops in different places like Grasmere for example and Ambleside.
The 599 open top bus was nice with a audio tour guide of the surrounding area for your journey.
Overall our stay or was very pleasant we manage to do everything that we plan to do within our five day trip.
The two standout places for me was wast water which is a must see and Rydal water but to be honest it's beautiful whichever place you go to disease just get better and better.

Bowness is a lovely location on Lake Windermere.
Bowness is a lovely location on Lake Windermere. If you like trips by water, it is a good place to visit but a bit lacking in things to do apart from that. There is a good bus service to Kendal or Keswick but leave the car and use public transport. You can go to Ambleside by boat or bus but the town is packed during the summer season.

The view from the window, presentation of the property, decor of the room, bottle of water on arrival. Closeness of township.
The staircase was a challenge and heating could have been better controlled.

The location was just perfect.
The location was just perfect. It was central for us to adventure out and explore the Lake District. It was also an exciting location for relaxation in the evenings. Lots of fine restaurants and pubs to choose from with a lovely holiday atmosphere abounding everywhere.
Regretfully the car ferry was out of order and not available to us. That was a bit of a nuisance as our touring plans had envisaged that being available. None the less we had a fabulous holiday and were not overly put-out by the loss.

It is so easy going in Bowness we try to come here as often as we can. There’s something to do for everyone young and old. We have a dog now and he’s so relaxed here many places are dog friendly. Bars and restaurants brilliant especially Italians on the Main Street. Our favourite place can’t wait to come back

All three rooms were excellent in size and space, and two of the rooms had a lovely balcony. The staff were friendly and approachable. The restaurant at Burn How is excellent with good variety of breakfast options. The location is superb and within easy reach of town centre as well as the lake. The free parking was just outside the front door of each room and there are two separate entrances to the hotel. There is a lovely garden at the back which allows for a gentle stroll and sitting down with a drink.
I like everything! The hotel was modern and very clean. The room is quite small but was expected, since we were just staying for a night. I felt very lucky that we got the room thats facing the lake windermere. There a lot of choices for the breakfast well, we had a very filling breakfast. Even the breakfast place had a nice view of the lake! Location is 10/10 as well, we drove a car, but we parked in hotel first then walk to town because it was just a 5-10 walk to the center.
Lovely hotel close to lake Windermere, comfortable rooms, wonderful decor and reminiscence of Beatrix Potter throughout. Delicious food and drinks and beautiful garden for sunny days. Bowness-on-Windermere and Windermere in easy reach; ferry to Hawkshead on the west side of the lake is also close by which makes it great for day trips around the lake
Great B&B. Super position with a short walk to the centre of Bowness on Windermere (where the ferries go from). Had an excellent stay. Host's really friendly and cared and made a great effort to make our stay welcome. Nothing too much trouble. Beds lovely and comfy (we had two rooms). Excellent stay and would definitely stay again.
The hotel location and quality of service was excellent. We asked for a view of Lake Windermere from our bedroom, and the view was stunning. The only fault with our stay was that the spa, which was part of the reason we booked this hotel, was unavailable or fully booked.
We liked the location, facility inside the hotel, the family suite which was having good privacy. The view outside the room was amazing particularly while enjoying the hot tub. Breakfast was good, we enjoyed every bit of it. Plenty of parking space.
Location was in quite zone
Staff were so friendly and welcoming
Room was spacious compared to london rooms. It was worth the money
We liked the fact that it is afew minutes walk to the lake and near the BUS stop
Very spacious.
Great location. Close enough to walk to the lakeside but private enough to avoid the crowds.
Clean and well equipped with everything you could possibly want for a short stay,
Beautiful garden.
Great little apart hotel spread across cottage units in heart of Bowness on Windermere. Boutique feel with very comfy bed and own dedicated front door. Fridge in the room and full en-suite wetroom.
The spa was so beautiful. The staff were delightful and everything was of such a high standard. The staff, location and hotel itself exceeded our expectations. Would definitely come again.
The location of the hotel is excellent, very close to the lake and town. The room was comfortable and very clean. The breakfast was excellent. The staff were helpful and welcoming.
