Take a cruise on Lake Windermere to Ambleside or across to Lakeside to enjoy a day at The Aquarium or hop on the steam train to Haverthwaite. Alternatively, try your hand at sailing and hire your own boat for a few hours. Paddle boarding is also a popular activity on the lake, so if you have one, then it’s certainly worth bringing it along. Bowness-on-Windermere is also home to Beatrix Potter World and the wonderful Art Deco Royalty Cinema. If you’re feeling energetic, so many walks can be found nearby including ’Orrest Head’ in Windermere, a relatively short walk offering spectacular views over Lake Windermere. Some of the Lake District’s fantastic fells are a mere short drive away, as well as the small ’Alpine’ like village of Grasmere, where William Wordsworth is laid to rest at St. Oswald’s Church, and if you’re a fan of Gingerbread, a visit to Grasmere Gingerbread shop is a must!

We were able to cook a roast, so kitchen had all that was needed. On the down side, rad in main bedroom didn’t work, no rad in second bedroom (I like a cold bedroom) rad in the living room barely worked. Light in second bedroom didn’t work. The main issue, which would stop me booking it again is that there was only comfortable seating for 3 people, and the apartment is for four people! So after out walking all day, and 2 of our group had just run the OMM (originally mountain marathon) one of us had to sit on either the foot stool, or dining chair there is space for another comfortable chair with a bit of rearranging. So overall good ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/501a8dea-96df-44c8-b73d-b9853aac7d50-1761581834364.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Michelle C.

Convenient for all amenities. ##### david h. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Deni Cary P. 3 Jul 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Communication #### Excellent location in Bowness, read on for other info The apartment is adequately appointed, though if you are staying in, not a lot to do besides television is provided. At the time of our visit, we thought the place could be kept better, such as carpets needed to be cleaned, a towel bar placed in the bathroom, barely any toilet paper on the roll, and only two sheets of kitchen roll. Do not expect common condiments, such as tea, coffee, salt, pepper, etc. Finding the entry door from the parking lot was not described in a lot of detail. You'll come up some steps from the parking in the rear, (but be happy for the parking!) and round the Trattoria, then past several shops to the far corner where several apartment entrances are marked. Be sure to arrive well before 9 if you need to eat, as that is closing time. The primary bedroom windows are just above street level and going to bed early could be a challenge, especially on a weekend night. Be aware of the stairs. It is hilly, and there are many stairs to the apartment itself. Finally, we found the wifi code and password quite difficult to locate, but it is now written on the front of the welcome packet. Do look inside the storage ottoman for additional information about the area. ##### Deni Cary P.
