“Lovely apartment in the heart of Ambleside with the added bonus of a parking space.”

Will definitely stay there again.

Will definitely stay there again.

“Lovely apartment in a great location with fantastic views.”

Love to visit again.

“We are elderly, and found the shower tray excessively slippery.”

Suggest provision of anti-slip mats is absolutely necessary. Crockery provided was all very large with no smaller plates, bowls or mugs; nor sufficient to enable proper use of dishwasher capacity. Microwave is old and has no provision for timing other than whole minutes. We are sure the owners would see the need for various changes if they stayed there for a week themselves.

- Robert, July 2023

“The photos need updating, especially for the sitting room.”

The right hand springs in the sofa have collapsed, I had to put a cushion under the seat. The parking space is very tight. There’s quite a lot of noise from the very busy bus stops opposite the flat. There was a very unpleasant smell in the downstairs lavatory; i had to spray it numerous times. The flat is very conveniently situated for the town and for visiting the area. The views from the flat are good. A coat rack would be very useful.

“Stayed here last year and hope to return next year.”

Ideal location. Parking is a bonus. Spotlessly clean. Everything provided to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

- Barbara, June 2023

“Spotless apartment, well equipped, felt very relaxed as soon as we walked ...”

Spotless apartment, well equipped, felt very relaxed as soon as we walked through the door, only small negative for us was the sofa was to soft

- Susan, May 2023

“We really enjoyed our stay at the Bowery.”

The location is excellent and off street parking was a definite bonus. Very clean and well presented. We would definitely go back. The only change I would make is to add a larger sofa as its nice to put your feet up after a long walk.

- Sally, April 2023
Alan March 2023

“The Bowery is a fantastic place to stay in Ambleside, centrally located, clean and comfortable with ample room for two.”

It was perfect to return to after a day's walk - cosy and warm with the best shower in the Lakes! We will be back.

- Alan, March 2023
Roy March 2023

“The Bowery was a great place to stay.”

Ideally situated in Ambleside.On arrival,the car parking is a little restricted but adequate.The apartment is a delight.The decor and design are very well done.It is extremely clean and also very comfortable.Everything you require for your stay is there.A vacuum cleaner and a brush would be a useful addition.My only complaint would be that there was a lot of banging coming from one of the premises underneath during the day.They may have been doing some renovations!I would definitely recommend a stay at The Bowery and would definitely book again.

- Roy, March 2023
Christine January 2023

“The Bowery, is clean , stylish and well equipped.”

A very comfortable apartment in the heart of Ambleside. This is a great base to explore the Lake District. Would definitely stay here again .

- Christine, January 2023
Debbie December 2022

“Lovely apartment has everything you need.”

We stayed during Christmas and was lovely as their was a beautiful Christmas tree there when we arrived

- Debbie, December 2022
Denise October 2022

“This is a lovely appointed apartment in a great location.”

We so enjoyed our stay here and just how convenient it was for the town and walking. Would definitely return and highly recommend.

- Denise, October 2022
Stanley John September 2022

“Excellent property stayed here before and will stay again”

- Stanley John, September 2022
Jillian September 2022

“Lovely central location, very handy for everything.”

Apartment was nicely furnished and had everything for your stay. The balcony was lovely in the afternoon sun. Would be useful to have somewhere to hang wet clothes to dry when coming in from a walk.

- Jillian, September 2022
Lloyd August 2022

“A fantastic base to explore Ambleside and surrounding areas with a car parking space, wifi and decent kitchen.”

Facilities are fantastic, the balcony is nice to use and my only minor gripe is no bath (which we knew about when booking) which would make it even more ideal after hikes to have a soak :) and the limited wardrobe space. Overall, a fantastic stay, great weather and good food/restaurants in the area and this is our second and most likely not our last visit. In addition, it is above Luigis restaurant which has great food and service however you should book - both are recommended.

- Lloyd, August 2022
Barbara June 2022

“We have had a lovely weeks holiday, helped a lot by the glorious weather.”

The accommodation was better than we could have hoped for and met our needs. Hopefully, if The Bowery is available, will be visiting again next year.

- Barbara, June 2022
Peter June 2022

“Had a very good week thanks.”

Excellent holiday apartment. The only extra thing I could think of was that it would have been useful to have some coat hooks. A photo of the patio area would also be useful.

- Peter, June 2022
Elizabeth May 2022

“Have stayed at the Bowery 3 times now, lovely apartment very handy for the buses we only used the car once.”

The only negative is the sofa is not very comfortable.

- Elizabeth, May 2022
Richard April 2022

“Superb location and well maintained.”

Just the settee lets it down. Its not the one pictured and isnt comfortable at all especially after a long day walking.

- Richard, April 2022
Helen March 2022

“A lovely central property in Ambleside.”

Very convenient for shops and transport. Even though in centre was pretty quiet. Comfy bed, excellent shower. Reasonably good wifi -dropped out occasionally but able to steam film. Lovely view of fells from bedroom window. Very well equipped kitchen with sharp knives. Would rent again. Would not be suitable for someone who struggles with steps and stairs as metal staircase up to apartment and apartment on 2 levels. Only other minor comment, apartment could do with a new sofa as one there was pretty saggy.

- Helen, March 2022
Karen March 2022

“Lovely comfortable place.”

.. Really central, which was a bonus, so you don't have to jump in the car all the time! The weather was perfect! Would have been nice to have had some milk to make a drink, Been to lots of places that have provided a small hamper with eggs, biscuits, tea coffee, bread....

- Karen, March 2022
Debbie February 2022

“This is not the first time at the Bowery Thru have redecorated the living area, looks a lot darker but very nice.”

Everything there that you could need. Very clean and warm during our stay and we’re already planning when we can come back

- Debbie, February 2022
Stewart December 2021

“Great property in a great location.”

We stayed 4 nights and place was very clean. Best shower ever. Only problem was there wasn’t a washing machine which means we probably wouldn’t go for longer stay in future as we always have walking clothes that need washing on longer breaks. Also the bathroom is a great size and a bath would be a real bonus for a soak after a day of walking. Finally, it is a different couch in property than in photo, now a leather one and not very comfortable for sitting watching TV. Would I go back, absolutely for a 3 or 4 night stay but no longer due to the reasons above

- Stewart, December 2021
Darren December 2021

“Excellent central location.”

Great views of surrounding hills. Well equipped kitchen, superb shower & spacious bathroom. The only negative is the small & uncomfortable sofa (not the one shown in images).

- Darren, December 2021
Andrew November 2021

“Uncomfortable sofa and worn out chair in place of the one pictured in listing.”

Lack of facility to dry/air jackets etc, a clothes horse would be ideal. Otherwise well equipped in good location.

- Andrew, November 2021
Alex October 2021

“Our second stay at The Bowery & it just as lovely as our first visit in 2019.”

Great location in the centre of Ambelside with the bonus of a parking space, spotlessly clean, great linens & a shower to die in at the end of a day on the fells. The downer for us is the price increase for the same week next year 2022 of nearly £200!!…….so sadly this has been our last visit to the Bowery.

- Alex, October 2021
Rodger August 2021

“Huge bathroom and the best shower - but plenty of room for a bath, which would have been welcome after a day's walking.”

- Rodger, August 2021
Andrew July 2021

“Excellent accommodation in a perfect location.”

Very clean with everything you could want. Look forward to returning.

- Andrew, July 2021
Richard July 2021

- Mr Wood, Oct 2019

The property

This gorgeous boutique apartment is spread over first and second floors; a romantic retreat at the heart of the Lake District's most cosmopolitan village, with a wealth of exhilarating walks and lake shore attractions to explore close by. The breathtaking panoramic views from The Bowery have to be seen to be fully appreciated, creating a stunning Lakeland backdrop for the luxurious interior. Sleek wood floors, funky decor mixed with timeless 'shabby chic', and a loft-style bedroom that feels like a world of its own. You can dine-in in the stylish kitchen, dine al-fresco on your balcony or stroll out to sample the foodie delights on offer in Ambleside village centre. == Accommodation in detail Private parking for 1 car, in a courtyard right outside. An external staircase leads to your balcony, and an entrance hall to the spacious dining kitchen - full of light and finished with Granite. Glazed double doors lead to the contemporary lounge, with oak flooring, breathtaking picture windows and a funky corner sofa. Cloakroom / 2nd WC. Upstairs to the romantic loft-style bedroom with exposed beams and a unique viewing window overlooking Ambleside to the surrounding fells. The spacious shower room also enjoys the views, and boasts a designer walk-in shower. Location We often recommend Ambleside as a prime location for couples enjoying a romantic break in the Lake District. Stunningly located on the northern shores of Lake Windermere, England's largest lake, Ambleside is set against a breathtaking backdrop of dramatic mountains and Lakeland Fells. Whether cruising on Lake Windermere from Ambleside's Waterhead Pier, whiling away lazy days in the village centre, or touring the surrounding area by car, by bus or on foot; you'll enjoy a constant backdrop of some of the UK's most romantic scenery. Ambleside's village centre is steeped with history, but has grown to become one of the Lake District's most vibrant and sophisticated communities. Pretty traditional Lakeland cottages and historic buildings share the streets with contemporary shops and fabulous eateries - Ambleside is a real treat for foodies! In the evenings, you'll find plenty to entertain you in the village centre. From real Lakeland ale in one of the many traditional pubs, to luxurious dining in such acclaimed Lake District restaurants as the Glass House?there are even two interesting cinema venues to sample. For exploring the wider Lake District and seeking out famous walking routes, Ambleside makes an ideal base right at the heart of the Lakes. Such locations as the Langdale Valley, Coniston, Hawkshead and Grasmere can be easily reached and explored.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Grasmere 4.4 miles; Windermere 4.7 miles; Keswick 16.7 miles.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
