    Bowness is a fabulous base to sightseeing from.

    Bowness is a fabulous base to sightseeing from. It's a lovely little area of the Lake District. Very busy at times and too much traffic and not enough parking spaces. Best to get there early if you need to park. Lots of bars, restaurants, cafes and shops. Sunday market. Lots to see and do.

    This is the third time I have been back to Bowness this year. I love the art shops, the clothes shops and most importantly the home made fudge. So relaxing watching the boats on the lake and geting the ferry to the other side to walk up to Hill Top. It was a struggle to get my grandaughter away from the Beatrix Potter museum.

    Bowness is good place to take a short break.

    Bowness is good place to take a short break. The ferry trip to Lakeside and the short train ride was most enjoyable and very good value. The first two days were warm and sunny, but inevitably it poured down on the last day. Bowness was busy and eating out is expensive. Cafe '4' provides the best and least expensive meals in Bowness.

    Our Hotel was Burn How within 5 minutes walking distance of the cruise ships. We took 2 trips on separate days, one to Ambleside to the north of Lake Windermere and the other longer trip south to Lakeside. There one could visit an aquarium and take a 15 minute steam train ride returning to Bowness on a later cruise ship. The only disappointment was that most eating places close at 5pm so the choice is therefore limited unless of course you have oodles of cash.

    Lake facing room is a must, not only for the lake view but also no road noise as Craig Manor is on the main road from Windermere to Bowness on Windermere, took advise from previous customer reviews, this is my 2nd visit now over the last 2 years. For visitors that don't want to drive whilst on holiday, walk out of the hotel turn left, 15 minute walk to Windermere for cafes bars and restaurants, or out of the hotel turn right is Bowness on Windermere with the above and the added bonus of the lake boat trips, perfect.
