    Our Hotel was Burn How within 5 minutes walking distance of the cruise ships. We took 2 trips on separate days, one to Ambleside to the north of Lake Windermere and the other longer trip south to Lakeside. There one could visit an aquarium and take a 15 minute steam train ride returning to Bowness on a later cruise ship. The only disappointment was that most eating places close at 5pm so the choice is therefore limited unless of course you have oodles of cash.

    Excellent base for exploring the wider Lakes, however Bowness is very beautiful in its own right! Lots of options to relax and entertain people of all ages. A wealth of dining experiences are available and the scenery is out of this world! Travellers with limited mobility may struggle with some terrain (unsurprisingly, lots of steep gradients), however there are plenty of places that are easy to get around, and public transport is fantastic. The people of the North West are lovely, friendly, and very welcoming. Food is varied, tasty and always generously portioned. There’s something about the clean air in the Lakes that immediately makes you relax and unwind. A gorgeous part of the world!

    bowness get very busy at peak times... still a nice a place to visit. seeing and feeding the swans and geese was nice .... just be aware there where lots of rats round there getting the food from the floor. Alot of transport from here, boat trips and lots off buses. Go on the mountain goat trip takes you all over the lakes in a mini coach with a guided tour. A fantastic place to eat is broadwalk bar and grill... you have to pre book to get in, if you manage to go get seated upstairs and ask for tubbs .. a waiter at broadwalk what a fantastic bloke, he is so funny, always cracking jokes to you and the kids.

    Everything was lovely, the couple who run it Julie and Russell were very welcoming, room was very comfortable and clean, breakfast was beautiful, last minute booking as our previous hotel was not as expected, we definitely made the best decision to rebook here it made our holiday to the lake district much better, close to pubs, restaurants and some shops, about a 10 minute walk of the lake, it was a really lovely stay.

    Beautiful hotel. Very clean and well maintained. Jill was very welcoming, polite and helpful as soon as she greeted us at the door right to the end of our stay. The breakfast was exceptional too! The hotel was just a short walk to the pubs, shops and promenade too.

    Location was excellent. We could walk to the lake & local restaurants from the hotel. Room very clean and spacious. There is on-site parking for 5 cars. The use of a pin to get into the hotel and our room was good as you don’t need to carry a key with you.
