Loved view
Enjoyed our stay it was a lovely suite and very friendly hostess. Only problem was the bed was too soft for my dodgy back.
Alexandra
Enjoyable stay in a good location.
An enjoyable stay. A roomy, characterful suite with mod cons. An excellent location.

Myself and my partner have stayed here a couple of times before, the location is really good close to all amenities, very clean and the hosts were really nice, advising us about parking, breakfast and other importance information, we will definitely be coming back again

Cheeky Night Away
Lovely big comfortable room, we stayed in Rydal suite. Owner met us on arrival and checked us in early, very welcoming and friendly. We had everything we needed on the doorstep, perfect location would highly recommend.
Ruth
Enjoyed our stay
Lovely room and we enjoyed the lake view. The breakfast hamper was fine. The only thing we didn’t love were the bed and pillows. But we do sleep on an exceptionally comfortable bed at home so maybe that wouldn’t be an issue for most people. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
Caroline
Lovely weekend break
Great location and lovely accommodation. Very clean and comfortable and owners very friendly and helpful. We’ve visited Bowness many times and i wouldn’t hesitate to recommend
Mary
Fabulous stay , rooms very clean , staff very helpful,and excellent location .Would definitely return 😊
Bernard
Worth considering.
The suite itself was very nice. It was spacious, very well decorated, clean and well maintained.. The breakfast was fine, if a cooked breakfast is not your thing. Excellent location for the town centre, but at the same time very quiet.
The one big draw back was the parking situation. We did not feel comfortable pulling up outside, as had been suggested, to drop the cases off or to pick up the car park ticket due to there being double yellow lines outside, plus it being the only stretch of road in Bowness with police no waiting bollards! We had great difficulty finding a car park space on any of the car parks (around 12.30 pm). We paid for the minimum of 3 hours and went to collect the car park ticket from the suites when that time was nearly up. The ticket did not cover the car park we were on so we had to move the car, only to find a place very difficult to find on the correct car park: we must have been there 15 minutes before a place became available. This is not likely to be so bad at other times of the year. As above, the suites themselves are very nice. Guests may like to consider catching a train to Windermere and then a taxi to Bowness instead of taking the car.

Loved it - what a gorgeous place!

Lovely stay at Bowness Bay Suites
Really lovely place to stay, it was immaculately clean and very comfortable and spacious.
The owner was so helpful and friendly also.
It's located right in the town of Bowness, next to some great pubs and places to eat, being only a 2 minute walk to the lake also.
Parking is offsite however it's only a short walk through the lovely town of Bowness to the public car park, but we never had a problem getting a space when we'd been out for the day and there's room to leave your car outside the suites to pick up/drop off luggage easily enough.
Would definitely stay here again.

Average hotel.
We had a really great much needed break.
The hotel was in a perfect spot for all local amenities and was ok.
The rooms were not as glamorous as they looked in the pictures and with the breakfast that was provided I would say it was overpriced. I look forward to more than cereal and juice when I’m away. I understand there are restrictions due to Covid but It felt like a very easy option and no effort made.
The check in was not the most friendly.
We had a ground floor room so had to sit with curtains closed or passers by would stare in and also next to reception so was listening to the phone ringing and didn’t feel particularly private.
Maybe other rooms were better.

A superb place to stay.
An excellent place to stay. Everything was of a high quality and well thought out. We enjoyed it all including the breakfast in our room. Only slight issue was that there was no fire to take the chill off and we didn;t manage to work out the central heating and should have asked but not a lot of time with a 2 night stay. Will definitely stay there again. Very well located near the church and plenty of restaurants etc very near. Good parking in Belsfield Hotel which was free..
andrew
Fantastic lovely stay - 5*
Beautiful room with doors looking out onto the lake. Room clean, tidy and very large with fantastic decor.
The staff were very helpful and friendly and brought up a lovely breakfast to our room at a time of our choosing.
The hotel itself is a stones throw away from the centre of bowness and 2 mins walk to the lake, parking is also including which is also fantastic as spaces are often at a premium.
Will definitely be staying here again and recommending to friends and family.

Fantastic views
We stayed in the Hill Top suite for 3 nights and it was lovely.
Great views over the lakes and in a very central position for exploring the area.

Ideal venue for a break in Bowness
Perfect weather for our 2 nights stay. The facilities were great and we'd certainly book again. I enjoyed the space in the suite but would've preferred more flexibility on breakfast as it was 0900 or 0930.
Jill
Fantastic stay close to village very welcoming and comfortable
Verified traveler
The staff couldn't of been more friendly and welcoming. The room was gorgeous and the views over the lake were spectacular.

Absolute disgrace
On arrival the lady who answered the door had a serious attitude on her. Never felt so intimidated by her. Such a nasty tone of voice she spoke to us in.
And the rooms where very tired, paint work not finished properly, knobs fallen off drawers, curtains falling off rails, bath all worn and toilet seat broken.
And quite dusty as well. Breakfast was few bits of toast few berries and a croissant that was it.
Because I paid a deposit which I wouldn’t of got back I wouldn’t of stayed and walked out because of the woman’s lack of customer service skills.
I was extremely angry but I would normally say something but I let my partner diffuse the situation.
Definitely won’t be coming back, the owner needs a course on how to speak to people with respect

We feel terrible for leaving this review, based on the fact the owner was a lovely woman, but we cannot fathom the reviews left by others. We stayed in a room in a main road, incredibly noisy. View of the lake was restricted to say that least. It was basically a bedroom in someone's house. We made our excuses and left 2 hours after checking in and moved to a hotel Ambleside.
No idea what others saw in the accommodation, sorry.

Overnight stay on the return journey to Scotland.
Ideal stop to enjoy the scenery, restaurants, gift shops and pubs in Bowness on Windermere. The suite provided an appreciated comfort after a long drive and the lake view was very pleasing to the eye The French doors and sitting area were a real bonus and breakfast satisfying for a good start to the day.

Nice Boutique hotel in a great location
Nice hotel, friendly staff. Would use again. Only downside was the poor wifi connection but wasn't a necessity for our trip. Smart tv was good which allowed us to use netflix.

Excellent location for handiness but very, very noisy. Room lovely & clean; however not as luxurious as made out on the website. Room set out for 1 rather than 2 people -
1 hand towel, 1 teaspoon, 1 pack of biscuits. Fruit bowl as advertised for breakfast was 1 kiwi fruit!
No fluffy bath towels in bathroom - checked with reception and was told to check in the wardrobe and was given a 2nd hand towel from another room with 2 yellow marks on it..

Great Location
We stayed as a couple and it was just lovely, we had the Cat Bells Suite with a fantastic view. The bed was super comfy and the room stylish and big! Great location for us as we love the bars and restaurants in Bowness and a bonus was the free-parking at the Belsfield just round the corner!

難点？いや気にならない！
ボウナスの中心街、バス停からすぐの便利な場所にあります。湖側には木以外遮るものがない。２階以上なら湖がある少し見える。３階建ての可愛いお家です。
オーナーは親切でとても可愛らしい老婦人。
お部屋は十分な広さでとても可愛く全てが満足です。
バスタブが大きいのでたくさん貯めるお湯が無くなります。また一階だと通りに面してるため中が外から見えるのでカーテンを引かなければいけません。ただ、二階と三階は階段なので大きな荷物は少し大変。そこだけが注意。
朝食は トレーに入れて９時ごろにコンチネンタル式のものを運んでくれます。自分でセッティングします。
夜は近くのお店に食べに出ます。たくさん選べて迷うほどあります。すぐ向かいのパブで食べました。カマンベールチーズの前菜が美味しかった。
