A holiday cottage in Bowness is a great choice for a varied Lake District holiday, and there's plenty for couples to enjoy during a romantic break or Lake District honeymoon. Bowness village is found on the eastern shores of Lake Windermere. The lively village centre is packed with tempting eateries, traditional Lakeland pubs and a selection of sophisticated shops - from handy Tesco supermarket to clothing boutiques.
Stroll to the lake shore at Bowness Bay, and you can rent an old-fashioned row boat, a modern powered boat or take a romantic cruise on one of the famous Lake Windermere 'steamers'. These elegant passenger boats depart regularly to Ambleside and Lakeside - a great way to explore the full length of the lake without having to drive at all. A car ferry crosses Lake Windermere from Bowness, taking you towards Hawkshead and the homeland of the famous children's author Beatrix Potter. Visit her home at Hill Top in Near Sawrey, and treat yourselves to a romantic meal at one of the fabulous country pubs in the area.
Windermere Golf Club is found just outside Bowness village, on the way to the scenic Lyth Valley. Even if you're not a golfer, this area is well worth exploring as it is home to some of the finest country pubs in the Lake District - such as the Mason's Arms at Strawberry Bank or the Wild Boar Inn on the Crook road.
