Hi we’re an active family who love to travel.

Bowness-on-Windermere, England, United Kingdom The linked towns of Bowness and Windermere lie east of Lake Windermere, where Bowness is at the waters edge, with the town of Windermere set about 10-15 minutes walk away above the lake. Each is a busy community of shops, cafes, restaurants and attractions, serving both the local community and our visitors to the Lake District. One of the main attractions of Bowness is the bay, a sweeping crescent of waterfront and adjoining parkland, where you can enjoy a walk by the shore or find a quite place to picnic. This is where you will find the world famous Windermere steamers, which offer boat trips up and down the lake. You will also find a number of places to hire rowing boats, paddle boards, kayaks and canoes as well as motor powered boats, which can be hired by the hour or for longer, to explore the lake and it islands for yourself. Other popular attractions are the World of Beatrix Potter, the Windermere Steam Boat Museum and a little south of Bowness the Blackwell Arts and Crafts house, one of the most important surviving houses from the turn of the 20th century all all within walking distance of the apartment.
