Bowness is a lovely location on Lake Windermere. If you like trips by water, it is a good place to visit but a bit lacking in things to do apart from that. There is a good bus service to Kendal or Keswick but leave the car and use public transport. You can go to Ambleside by boat or bus but the town is packed during the summer season.

The view from the window, presentation of the property, decor of the room, bottle of water on arrival. Closeness of township.
The staircase was a challenge and heating could have been better controlled.

The location was just perfect.
The location was just perfect. It was central for us to adventure out and explore the Lake District. It was also an exciting location for relaxation in the evenings. Lots of fine restaurants and pubs to choose from with a lovely holiday atmosphere abounding everywhere.
Regretfully the car ferry was out of order and not available to us. That was a bit of a nuisance as our touring plans had envisaged that being available. None the less we had a fabulous holiday and were not overly put-out by the loss.

It is so easy going in Bowness we try to come here as often as we can. There’s something to do for everyone young and old. We have a dog now and he’s so relaxed here many places are dog friendly. Bars and restaurants brilliant especially Italians on the Main Street. Our favourite place can’t wait to come back

I liked the Beatrix Potter museum, Holehird Gardens, and Stagshaw gardens, Hayes garden centre up in Ambleside. Booked an amazing day trip with Mountain Goat tours that took us around ten Lakes of the Lake District with our amazing guide Mark Shipley. the restaurants I went to was Francine's up in Windermere, Urban Food House (superb) and the Magic Roundabout. I was within walking distance of everything in Bowness. I probably would avoid booking in the school holidays, was very busy everywhere. the weather was very changeable but it is the wettest area of Great Britain.

Always wanted to try the Belsfield hotel. Booking in was a breeze, lovely room, super comfy beds & bathroom.
The weather in the evening was atrocious, so we dined in. The food was delicious at dinner & breakfast (except for the toaster)!
The only issue we had was the antiquated lift- which doesn't work if someone doesn't shut the door properly on another floor to you. When you are disabled & have difficulty walking, it is no joke to have to carry cases downstairs!
Hsving said that, we very much wenjoyed our stay.
All three rooms were excellent in size and space, and two of the rooms had a lovely balcony. The staff were friendly and approachable. The restaurant at Burn How is excellent with good variety of breakfast options. The location is superb and within easy reach of town centre as well as the lake. The free parking was just outside the front door of each room and there are two separate entrances to the hotel. There is a lovely garden at the back which allows for a gentle stroll and sitting down with a drink.
We have just returned (a party of 7) from a 3 night break in the Sandown. The location of the house for Bowness on Windermere is ideal, more than adequate parking for 4 cars,
All 4 bedrooms with en-suite beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean, the living area, dining room, and fully equipped kitchen were exceptional. From the initial booking to leaving on our last day, the whole experience was faultless; we will definitely return.
The location was perfect for our stay, within a couple of minutes walk from Lake Windermere and the town. Amazing hosts who made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast that Nigel cooked was easily the best I've had in a hotel for ages! The Lingwood Lodge exceeded our expectations for sure. Will definitely come back again and stay here. Thanks
Susanne and Glen are welcoming hosts.
Room was as described and clean.
Comfortable bed and good hot shower.
Varied breakfast options lovingly served.
Can walk into Bowness on Windermere along the lake path.
Can come and go with your own set of keys.
Hosts are informed about the local area and won't hesitate to help out with tips and advice.
Definitely recommend.
Beautiful location with easy access to the restaurants etc. in Bowness on Windermere. Clean, comfortable room with outside balcony. Breakfast is exceptional and the best we've had in the UK. Waiting staff were efficient and friendly. Beautiful classical music played during breakfast added to the atmosphere. Would definitely stay here again.
Apartment was very comfortable and well equiped. Location was convenient for the centre of Bowness. The 2 en-suite rooms were a bonus and the kitchen facilities were superb. Apartments are set in the grounds of a hotel with beautiful gardens, although we didn't make use of them this time, we certainly would if visiting again in the summer.
The property was very clean and in an excellent location, just a short walk to the lake / bowness on Windermere town centre;
the owners was very friendly and helpful, The full English breakfast was excellent everything cooked just perfect
we really enjoyed it we will be returning in the near future for sure.

The shower in the bathroom was great.
The staff were welcoming and friendly.
Great location!
We liked the location, facility inside the hotel, the family suite which was having good privacy. The view outside the room was amazing particularly while enjoying the hot tub. Breakfast was good, we enjoyed every bit of it. Plenty of parking space.
Location was in quite zone
Staff were so friendly and welcoming
Room was spacious compared to london rooms. It was worth the money
We liked the fact that it is afew minutes walk to the lake and near the BUS stop
Fantastic hotel with lovely, quirky-but-high-end decor, and exceptionally welcoming staff. A great breakfast offering, a lovely relaxed bar with nice cocktail menu - and extremely comfy beds!
The location of the hotel is excellent, very close to the lake and town. The room was comfortable and very clean. The breakfast was excellent. The staff were helpful and welcoming.
