Tracie “Amazing apartment - our second visit and loved it just as much!”
- Tracie, December 2022Sue “This is the second time we gave stayed at Lake Loft View.”
The location is perfect and parking is premium. The apartment is furnished to a high standard and extremely comfortable. I would be highly likely to recommend it to my friends
- Sue, November 2022Carl “Lake view loft was stunning, amazing views and ideal location.”
We as a family thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the property is well thought out and provided most of the amenities you will ever need for a self catering stay. Nice little touch with the authentic picnic set and the fans were definitely needed for the hot nights. Slight minor negative for us was the lack of a drying room or place to store wet clothing/wetsuits etc, but again that was just for us as we spend most days in and around the lake and wouldn’t stop us returning.
- Carl, August 2022Robert “A superb fully equipped apartment in a great location, we enjoyed our stay very much and hope to return sometime.”
- Robert, June 2022Sarah “Lake View Loft is a fabulous apartment and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”
We will definitely be returning
- Sarah, May 2022Maria “Beautiful apartment with a fabulous view in a great location.”
Would definitely stay there again.
- Maria, April 2022Darshan “A very modern, clean and well presented apartment.”
Decorated and furnished to a very high standard, you will not be disappointed. Perfect for a family of four to explore the surrounding area, five minutes from the lake, with two parking bays. We loved our stay in Bowness on Windermere and the view of the lake from the apartment was stunning no matter what time of day.
- Darshan, April 2022Gail “Fantastic apartment will definitely be booking again.”
Spotlessly clean, perfect location and amazing views
- Gail, February 2022Richard “Excellent place, quality all the way through and in the ideal location.”
When we arrived one of the skylight panels was broken and there was glass on the floor in the bedroom. Within an hour and a half of contacting sykes there was someone on site to clear up, make the window safe, changed the bedding and took a rug away for cleaning. Came back the next day to bring the rug back and check everything was ok. He was so helpful, this level of service when there is a problem would definitely mean I will book through sykes now every time.
- Richard, January 2022Sue “A hidden gem in Bowness.”
Convenience, comfort and totally relaxing. The owner has provided everything you would need on a break…. Perfect
- Sue, January 2022Tracie “Amazing accommodation and a rare thing that the actual place was even better than the photographs!”
Great to have parking and perfect location - everything on the doorstop but also quiet enough - perfect
- Tracie, November 2021Alison “Our second stay in this accommodation and it was as enjoyable as before.”
Apart from having no tea towel for the kitchen (which was provided last year) we had everything we needed. We did notice that sections of the floor tiles in the twin bedroom were loose by the door. Just wondering if there may have been a leak at some point as the the shower cubicle is on the other side of the wall? Possibly needs some investigation in case there is an ongoing problem. We'd love to stay in this accommodation again, very disappointing to see that the price for a similar week in August 2022 is nearly double what we paid this year. There was only a slight increase on last year's price (to be expected) so it does rather feel like the owner is taking advantage of the situation re. COVID-19 and uncertainty over foreign holidays to hike up the price massively. No doubt many people who would like to stay again (us included) will be unable to afford to do so.
- Alison, August 2021Jackie “Beautiful apartment in a stunning location.”

The property
Located in Bowness village, yet tucked away from the hustle and bustle, Lake View Loft, is located on the second floor. This stunning apartment has been created by the current owners as a luxurious retreat which offers contemporary living in the heart of the Lake District and well located for all the village amenities. From the moment you step inside, the owner's attention to detail is evident. The whole apartment is furnished to reflect the style and offers high quality accommodation. The open plan layout distinguishes this from most other apartments in the town. Choose from two great bedrooms, one with a Super king bed and the other a Twin room, both of which are complemented by a smart luxurious bathroom room. Stepping outside the front door a short stroll takes you to the centre of the village with a great choice of local pubs, restaurants and cafes on the doorstep and the local shops are only just moments away. Walk a little further and you are soon away from the hustle and bustle of the town with numerous walks to choose from ranging from low level routes or onto the surrounding high fells. Lake Windermere is within walking distance; ideal for wild swimming, canoeing or of course a romantic evening cruise!

Convenient for local amenities and access to the fantastic cruising grounds of Lake Windermere as well as the surrounding National Park by foot or car. On the eastern shores of Lake Windermere, Bowness is a sophisticated Lakeland village with a wealth to explore and enjoy. Stroll to the lake shore in Bowness to hire a row boat or power boat, or take an elegant cruise on one of the Lake Windermere steamers. Windermere Lake Cruises depart regularly to Ambleside and Lakeside; a wonderful way to explore without even using your car. There are several excellent restaurants in Bowness village, also close by are many Michelin star for stylish dining, while the Porthole and Bodegas & Sol puts a contemporary twist on the tapas style. There are also plenty of traditional Lakeland pubs, both in the village centre and the surrounding countryside. Or better still within the Windermere Marina, less than a mile away, is The Boathouse Bar & Restaurant. Eating out in Cumbria has never been better, and now there is a gem on our door step! Enjoy one of the two fantastic south facing terraces on those lazy summer days, spend a few hours in the bar or book a table in the first floor restaurant for something a little more special or of course enjoy the comfort of your own accommodation back at your very own lakeside boathouse. Windermere Golf Club is just outside Bowness village, on the way to the Lyth Valley. This area is also renowned for gentle but very scenic walking, with a wealth of acclaimed Lake District country pubs to choose from at the end of the day. Close to the village, you'll find Blackwell, The Arts and Crafts House. This impressive property takes a stunning position overlooking Lake Windermere, and has a range of interesting exhibitions. Join the A591 to Ambleside and Grasmere, and you can explore the homes of famous Lake District poet, William Wordsworth.
