Location
Windermere village is found on the eastern shores of Lake Windermere, just a couples of miles north of Bowness Bay. The village is only about 20 minutes from the M6, and enjoys good train connections via Oxenholme station.
Stocking up the kitchen is a particular treat in Windermere village, with a high-class Booths supermarket selling the finest local produce as well as everyday essentials. The village has a traditional butcher, and many other useful shops making it an ideal holiday base.
Just a couple of miles down the road from Windermere is Bowness village, nestled on the shores of Lake Windermere. While staying nicely away from the bustle of this popular Lake District holiday destination, you'll be within easy reach of Bowness Bay's romantic lake cruises, hire boats and lake shore activities - as well as lively nightlife and an excellent range of restaurants.
If you're keen on walking in the Lake District, Windermere is a great place to start. There are several scenic routes in the immediate area, including Orrest Head which promises fabulous lake views from the very manageable summit.
If you'd like to explore famous routes around Ambleside, in the Langdale Valley, Grasmere or even the Coniston Fells, your position just off the A591 (the main route into the heart of the Lakes) will ensure simple and manageable journeys to your starting point.

What guests are saying
Location and parking is good.
The living room is spacious, but the sofas are the most uncomfortable sofas we have ever came across, you just sink in and struggle to get back up past their best is an understatement, this was also the same issue with dinning chairs also past their best, had to use cushions on them to sit. One bedroom all you could hear was a ticking from the electrical box in the wardrobe and bed very low, the other room not very spacious when trying to move around the bed. The apartment is very tired looking and could do with a lick of paint everywhere. Tried to use the hoover but it would not pick anything up, so we don't believe it was hoovered before we arrived. You can hear everything from the street and the neighbours We ended up cutting the holiday short early do to the issues and sorry but would never book it again. I have had better and comfier camping holidays and would recommend one before booking this apartment.
Apartment has lots of good points.
Really lovely open plan living area. Kitchen had everything you needed and more. Bathroom is good. Location and parking is great. The not so good points really relate to comfort. The sofas are past their best and you just sink into them. Combine that with the TV being too high on the wall and there's an issue. We had to move the sofa as far back as we could so our necks weren't strained trying to watch tv and add cushions to sit on it. The dining room chairs are also past their best. So heavy and again you sink into them. Had to put cushions on them to sit comfortably. The main issue was the bedrooms. The bed in the main room is so low (below knee height) and we found the mattress so uncomfortable. My partner ended up sleeping in the other bedroom where the bed is standard height but you can barely move around the edge of the bed as room so small. The rooms are also so light we just did not sleep. The blinds are useless and due to the lights being on in the car park below it's never dark in the bedrooms. It was then getting light at 4am so we barely slept all week. There is also a really annoying ticking (like a clock) coming from the wardrobe in the main bedroom which may not bother some but for me was incredibly annoying. When we arrived we found a note taped to the washing machine saying out of use due to a leak. We weren't informed of this when collecting keys so had to call the office and get them to send someone out. Which they did the next day which was great so thank you for that. Sadly would not return due to the issues raised. We regularly come to the Lake District and this was our most disappointing stay sadly.
nice little apartment really close to town, clean and warm with decent gated parking.
bedrooms are compact but good value for the price.
