A perfect stay in the dog friendly room. Parking space was a bonus and the room was presented really well with everything we could want/need. We were able to check in a little earlier due to our room being ready and this was communicated to us promptly. Really well located for all local amenities and would definitely stay again

Excellent dog friendly room

Lovely stay in the dog friendly deluxe room. Very comfortable, clean and well decorated room. The room has it's own parking space and is only about 10 minutes walk down to the centre of Bowness. Hosts are very friendly but leave you to enjoy the room in peace with the proviso that they are only a message away should you need anything. They are happy to provide any information on the local area required. They even provide dog bed, bowls and towel though we had brought our own. We will definitely be returning to this gem.

5* Guest House - Absolutely Recommend!

We cannot recommend Bowness Guest House enough & we will absolutely be returning! Upon arrival we received a very personal check in - we were shown to our room & given an overview of the room facilities, the hosts took their time to chat to us and gave us recommendations of where is good to eat / drink in Bowness! Our room was spotlessly clean and had all the facilities you would need for a weekend away. The tea / coffee making facilities were a lovely touch & we were provided with an ice cold bottle of water on arrival. Genuinely cannot fault at all - a 5 star from me!

Lovely Guest House

Lovely room. We stayed in the ‘Dog friendly’ room even though we didn’t have a dog (this was the only room available).
Room was lovely and clean and had the bonus of parking available with this room. Host was very friendly and informative.
Would stay again. Just got breakfast from Monties on the main road.

Amazing guest house

We loved this guest house so much. It was spacious, clean and has everything you need. When we arrived, the owner nicely explained everything we needed to know about our stay there and recommended nice restaurants to go to. The guest house is located at a quiet street, but still very near to the main Bowness-on-Windermere area. We would love to come back!

Great weekend away!

Great weekend stay away at Bowness Guest House. The room was comfy, clean and close to central location for food and drinks. The dog friendly room was perfect, private access to the back of the property - Michelle was very friendly and helpful and advised on dog friendly pubs we could go too. Would stay again!

The property is very conveniently located to shops and restaurants. Can walk to all of them and Windermere is also an easy walk. Although we had no problems finding parking we can envision that it would be difficult at times. The only negative is that there was no desk space to access a computer. This is a great place to stay.

Fantastic dog friendly accommodation

Absolute fantastic find. Great dog friendly room with its own entrance and parking space. Room was immaculate with tea and coffee facilities, dog bowls, dog towel and dog treats. Fantastic shower too.
Owners extremely helpful and friendly.
Fantastic location, few minutes walk to all that Bowness has to offer.
Will definitely return.

Loved it.

Stayed here over New Year to use as a base for a walking holiday after readinthe positive reviews and must say we were not disappointed.
We stayed in the dog friendly room with its own parking space. Greeted on arrival by the lovely owners at a room that was amazingly clean.
It's central to every thing in Bowness and short driving distance to all the major sites of the lakes. Will definitely be returning as it contributed a fantastic weekend in a lovely place.

A Jewel in the Crown

A Fantastic place to stay, we only stayed one night but if we are visiting the area again we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here in the future. A very spacious clean and comfy room awaits. Michelle was very welcoming and allowed us to leave our cases early as we had planned a day out and wouldn’t be back till after 7 pm. Although no Breakfast on site there are several Cafes within a 5 minute walk away.
