About this property
1 bedroom accommodation in Bowness on Windermere
A cosy and contemporary loft apartment with Wi-Fi and parking ideally positioned to enjoy Bowness on Windermere.. All on the First Floor:
Open plan living space.
Living area: Smart TV
Dining area.
Kitchen area: Electric Cooker, Microwave, Fridge (Small Freezer Compartment)
Bedroom: Double (4ft 6in) Bed, TV
Bathroom: Bath With Shower Over, Toilet. New electric radiator heaters, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Private parking for 1 car. No smoking.. The Stables Apartments are set in the perfect location from which to explore cosmopolitan Lakeland and allow you make the very most of your valuable time in the Lake District. They are set in quiet and attractive surroundings yet within less than a minutes’ walk from all that bustling Bowness has to offer. All the apartments accommodate 2 guests and make an ideal choice for couples wanting a romantic break. The apartments are ideal for self-catering although with so many attractions, pubs and restaurants on your doorstep, you’ll be far too busy enjoying yourselves to bother cooking! With dedicated parking, you can leave your car at the property and explore the area without having to worry about traffic and parking charges.
The Round Window is created in the roof space of former stables and retains many quirky features. Access to the apartment is by a metal spiral staircase, all adding to the character and charm. Internally, it is delightfully presented in a neutral, contemporary theme. With chandeliers and wine glasses at the ready, The Round Window facilities will make you feel at home in no time.
A wealth of independent shops, boutiques, cafés and superb international cuisine restaurants are all found within a short stroll along with the attraction of Lake Windermere itself. For the more energetic visitor, rowing boats are available on the lake, or you can enjoy a more leisurely steamer ride on the lake to see the stunning landscape. Why not wander up to Windermere town where there is a choice of shops and eateries, as well as a traditional cinema and The World of Beatrix Potter attraction? There are regular boat trips over to Ambleside and Lakeside, the latter of which is home to the Lakes Aquarium. From here you can also take a steam train along the Lakeside-Haverthwaite railway. The bus and railway stations give scope to travel further afield and explore the wider area. Walkers can enjoy access to a variety of walks from Bowness. Take a gentle stroll to the lake, or a more strenuous hike to the peaceful valley of Kentmere, the landscape and surroundings are second to none. Shop, pub and restaurant 100 yards.
The Round Window (ref CC128207) can be booked together with The Stable Loft (ref CC128239) and The Stable Nest (ref UK1208) to accommodate up to 6 guests.
Please note: There is a spiral staircase at the property.

Perfect location and size for two people. Good facilities and value overall. WiFi also worked well. Plenty of shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants within walking distance. Bus service worked really well. One suggestion would be to have a key for the communal door, rather than a key code.

This is a very nice property, if perhaps a little small. However everything you need is there and the bedroom is actually quite sizeable. The location is excellent being just minutes walking from as many pubs, restaurants and shops as you like as well as windermere itself (lake and town). The only problem we had was another family entering the property half way through our holiday having been told they were in our apartment and been given a key for it. Extremely fortunate that we were there at the time otherwise I don't know what may have ensued. Overall we had a very enjoyable stay.

Great location in very comfortable apartment and would love to stay again.
Great location in very comfortable apartment and would love to stay again. Wanted to stay this end of the Lake to explore walks this end - have stayed at Ambleside a number of times. Went over on car ferry a couple of times to do new walks and also did some walking on the Dales Way.
Think it would be useful to know about alternative parking before (details in brochure). We were advised that there was plenty of room as we have a long car, but there wasn't and we had to leave it partially sticking out because of the car behind being slightly forward and the bin behind them. Spoke to them (flat next door) and they left more space so we were able to squeeze in. Handy being outside entrance for taking luggage in though. Brochure is misleading as parking shown is for back of Lonsdale House.

Lovely place for a couple.
Lovely place for a couple. Cosy. Extremely clean and comfortable. Has own parking place but it’s quite tight. My only criticism is there is no extraction fan in kitchen or bathroom. Ok in summer to open the window but wouldn’t like to do it in winter.

Wow a great location to stay.
Wow a great location to stay. Great to have parking opposite the door to the apartment. The apartment was clean and well heated. There was no problem with the hot water. Everything you need to make a meal was in the well equipped kitchen. Looking forward to going back soon.

Great location with lots to do nearby. On bus route to Grasmere, and close to Boat launches for Windermere cruises. You don't really need to use your car once here. Recommended.
