“By far the best so far we have stayed in at Bowness ….”

Central but extremely peaceful and the parking for two cars is priceless! We will definitely return

“This is a really nice, well specked cottage that I would guess has recently been decorated with new carpets.”

There is really little to fault. Ok you do have to walk across your own private parking spot (25 feet) to get to the garden table which frankly is no great shakes. The table gets the sun from late morning all the way through to the evening, ideal for a sundowner! The cottage is located on the very edge of the town centre, less than 1 minute walk from the top of the Main Street where you will find an abundance of shops and restaurants (suggest you try and rebook these) and 10 minutes from the ‘dock’ area. It is set back off the main road and very quiet. We did a couple of trips on the open top bus, a great way to see the area and very cheap at about £5 for a hop on hop off service. Highly recommend this place.

“Cottage was perfect for us as we like quiet, parking and comfort and it was very clean”

“The outside space was a little misleading, the pictures made it look like it ...”

The outside space was a little misleading, the pictures made it look like it was like a garden or balcony, when it was down a flight of stairs out the front door and across the car park

“This is around the fifth cottage we have booked with Sykes and have never been disappointed, however this one exceeded our expectations in all areas.”

Exceptionally clean and comfortable and exceptionally well equipped, our only problem was bins, the bin was full when we arrived and we did not have clear instructions re what to do with our rubbish. Although just off a main road it was so very quiet and peaceful. The descriptions were very accurate. Most visitors noted a lack of WiFi in the premises our son brought a mobile router and he needed it as he was called away early for work. There is always a solution.

“The only problem I found was that all the bathrooms wasn't as clean as I would expect poor standard alot of hairs and dust.”

“The only small point (that didn’t affect our holiday at all) we were under the impression the property had a small patio as there was a little table and chairs shown in the pictures which were actually at the front in the car park.”

As I said this didn’t affect us, the rest of the property and the location more than made up for it!

“Nice house with the perfect cleanliness.”

“The property was in a great central location.”

It was very comfortable, clean and tidy. The car parking spaces were a bonus.

The property

Although centrally located, this contemporary modern cottage enjoys views over the village bowling green towards Lake Windermere. The accommodation is stylish yet comfortable; colourful boutique meets sophisticated retreat. There's ample space for sociable meals in, an air of relaxation thanks to the views, and of course the treat of Bowness and Lake Windermere on your doorstep and even better Woodside West takes short breaks so that you can enjoy all the lakes have to offer. The patio/terrace with two private parking spaces are almost unique to such a central location and ideal for lazy summer days or just enjoying a glass or two before dinner, yet here you really do have the best of both worlds. Only a stones throw will lead you into Bowness village, overflowing with excellent restaurants, local shops and pubs. If searching for a sumptuous yet central Lakeland cottage, with more bathrooms than bedrooms, then search no longer as here it is. == Accommodation in detail Spacious entrance hall with Lakeland slate tiled floor, ground floor bathroom with shower over bath and a separate and most useful utility / laundry room. Upstairs to the first floor; A modern and well-equipped kitchen has all you require together with dining space. The bright lounge with deep cushioned sofas and super view through two windows. Upstairs to the king size bedroom with en-suite shower room, and stunning views including Lake Windermere. Shower room. The 2nd bedroom is a double with iron bed and lovely outlook. Outside you have 2 parking spaces and a patio with furniture. Location Bowness village is a popular Lake District holiday destination, on the eastern shores of Lake Windermere. It's a delightful place to spend a family holiday in the Lake District, and a convenient base if you would prefer not to use your car during your stay. You'll find contemporary shops, supermarkets, acclaimed Lake District restaurants and cosy traditional pubs, all within walking distance. Bowness also has the Royalty Cinema, and the Old Laundry Theatre - perfect rainy day entertainment! Kids will love the World of Beatrix Potter attraction in Bowness. The shores of Lake Windermere are the real attraction in Bowness. Just a few steps from the village high street, you'll find hire boats in Bowness Bay and lake cruises on Lake Windermere. The famous Windermere Lake Cruises depart regularly to Ambleside and Lakeside - a great way to explore these must-see locations without having to use your car. A car-ferry also crosses the lake from Bowness, providing your route to picturesque Hawkshead on the western side of Lake Windermere. Windermere Golf Club is just outside Bowness village, on the way to Crook and the Lyth Valley. Even if golf isn't your thing, we recommend a trip that way to explore the wealth of renowned Lake District country pubs.
