Bowness is a beautiful place to visit, there is something for everyone. There are really good bus links and there’s the lake cruise as well as being able to travel by boat to Ambleside!! There are lots of walks around the area too! Definitely worth a visit, we’ve been a few times already and would return again👍.

the room was a great size with lovely lake views - those views came at a price as hotel up a very very steep hill.
anyone with mobility issues would struggle - the steepness of the hill was not highlighted on either this website or Ro Hotel website that i could see

Where I stayed was quiet and away from the main road but only a very short walk to the nearest main road bars restaurants gift shops for example.
10 to 15 minute walk down to Bowness on Windermere pier at the pierced the views were great we took one journey on one of the fairies which gave us wonderful views of the surrounding area the boat was extremely clean and very smooth.
Buses were regular every 20 minutes to half an hour it was a bit confusing at some bus stops in different places like Grasmere for example and Ambleside.
The 599 open top bus was nice with a audio tour guide of the surrounding area for your journey.
Overall our stay or was very pleasant we manage to do everything that we plan to do within our five day trip.
The two standout places for me was wast water which is a must see and Rydal water but to be honest it's beautiful whichever place you go to disease just get better and better.

Bowness is a lovely location on Lake Windermere.
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.

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.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Westbourne, and I must say it was a fantastic experience. The location of the hotel couldn't have been better – it was so close to both the lake and the town, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the area. There was a bus stop as well right outside the hotel. The manager was so friendly and took the time to provide us with valuable recommendations for places to visit in the area. There was free parking available at the hotel as well.
Graham was really pleasant and allowed us to park the car at the door to drop off our luggage.
The carpark was only a few minutes walk away.
Rooms were clean and tidy. Shower and bathroom bigger then expected and fabulous to use as we were two girls sharing getting ready for a wedding.
Breakfast was delicious, presentation beautifully set out. All other guests seemed friendly and chatted.
It was a stones throw to the belsfield hotel to which our wedding was.
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.
The Flat was kept beautiful, very clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything you could need and the shower room was clean and up to the minute in style. The decor was to a high standard some beautiful finishing touches.The flat was well equipped and in a very good position for the shops, restaurants and cafes in Bowness on Windermere.
The spa was beautiful the room was beautiful would definitely stay at The Lakes Hotel again ,my partner was really impressed with the standards at the hotel he travelled from Portugal to be with me and has travelled the world and stayed in great hotels this one he gave a hundred percent thumbs up
Centrally located in Bowness on Windermere and good for shops, food, pubs etc. Has a nice seating and eating area outside. Breakfasts were good and set in a lovely calming environment. Room servicing was excellent. Extra tea and coffee for your room freely available in the hallway.
The dining in the evening at Henrock was fantastic and the waiting staff were very attentive. In the morning we had breakfast at the hotel too and again the food did not disappoint, nor did the staff. Overall a fabulous experience and we shall definitely return.
Great apartment with everything you need, spacious, well equipped, clean and modern. Location also excellent as it's up the hill from the middle of town, with some nice views of Lake Windermere, but still only a 10min walk in via a relatively flat shortcut.
Hotel has good location - breakfast wasnt available in price, but there are plenty of nice places to get your breakfast within seconds of the property. The rooms are clean and ideal for an overnight stay. Staff are very friendly and helpful if required.
Nicely designed hotel and rooms with a restaurant overlooking the lake (great balcony to enjoy your morning coffee). Great food (weren't expecting it to be that good) with substantial breakfast buffet in the morning. Staff were pleasant and welcoming.
Beautiful hotel in a prime location, lovely interior, very helpful, friendly staff, food was absolutely gorgeous, will definitely recommend The Belsfield Hotel and we will definitely book to stay again.
Great location for Bowness-On-Windermere. Really close to everything, but felt really quiet. Great to have parking available. Great views over the Lake from our bedroom and the breakfast room.
The team was very friendly and helpful well lead by Jack Waring. I would highly recommend this hotel. Continental breakfast can do with an upgrade, especially bread selection.
