Lakes Hotel & Spa, hotel in Bowness-on-Windermere

Our hotel is perfectly situated with views of Lake Windermere, just a short stroll from the bustling village centre of Bowness-on-Windermere and the boats that travel the length of Windermere, making...

From the moment we arrived we were blown away! Not only is the hotel a stunning building and in a stunning lakeside location, the staff are super friendly. We were given a glass of Prosecco on arrival and personally shown to our room. We felt like nothing was too much trouble. We enjoyed a cocktail that evening after making use of the pool, steam room and sauna and it was delicious! With views over the lake it was a perfect weekend getaway.

It was a long drive inside from the main highway but once we reached the place , it was a hidden gem with absolutely stunning views. The breakfast was very nice with fresh ingredients, my husband loved the fresh salmon on his toast and I enjoyed the vegan grilled plate . The view from the restaurant was to die for . We had a lovely stay 😊

Linthwaite House Hotel, hotel in Bowness-on-Windermere

Linthwaite House is situated on a hilltop overlooking Windermere, making it the perfect base from which to explore the scenic surroundings.

This was my 4th trip to Linthwaite House. Every single time has been as amazing as the last. The hotel is more than worth the price. Absolutely everything about this hotel is perfect. The staff, the bar, the food, the grounds, the tarn and the resident ducks, the location. Literally everything! I stayed in the suite with hot tub and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The room is exceptional and breathtaking even after 4 stays there. I felt like I was coming home. All of the staff remembered me and asked about my daughter (who has been with me on all previous trips). The room was as perfect as always. The other hotel guests were all friendly and just there for their own relaxation. Staff cannot do enough for you. It may sound daft but it feels, even after just 4 trips, like you're going home and the staff are kind of an extended family.

    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.

    The location was just perfect.

    The location was just perfect. It was central for us to adventure out and explore the Lake District. It was also an exciting location for relaxation in the evenings. Lots of fine restaurants and pubs to choose from with a lovely holiday atmosphere abounding everywhere. Regretfully the car ferry was out of order and not available to us. That was a bit of a nuisance as our touring plans had envisaged that being available. None the less we had a fabulous holiday and were not overly put-out by the loss.

    It is so easy going in Bowness we try to come here as often as we can. There’s something to do for everyone young and old. We have a dog now and he’s so relaxed here many places are dog friendly. Bars and restaurants brilliant especially Italians on the Main Street. Our favourite place can’t wait to come back

    I liked the Beatrix Potter museum, Holehird Gardens, and Stagshaw gardens, Hayes garden centre up in Ambleside. Booked an amazing day trip with Mountain Goat tours that took us around ten Lakes of the Lake District with our amazing guide Mark Shipley. the restaurants I went to was Francine's up in Windermere, Urban Food House (superb) and the Magic Roundabout. I was within walking distance of everything in Bowness. I probably would avoid booking in the school holidays, was very busy everywhere. the weather was very changeable but it is the wettest area of Great Britain.

    Stockghyll Cottage is quaint, with an easy 10 minute walk into Bowness on Windermere. It is ideally situated for exploring the Lake District. The property was clean and the owners Adrian & Heather were very welcoming. Breakfast was tasty and freshly cooked every morning with plenty of choices on the breakfast menu. Adrian was very informative about the local area and gave useful tips on places to visit and eat . Hamish the dog was very happy to greet us every morning too…

    This is an exceptional bed and breakfast hotel in the heart of Bowness. Close to all the pubs, restaurants, shops and the lakeside, though up a short steep hill!! The bedroom (room 4) was very spacious and clean with a superb bath and shower. Nick the host also provides a few welcome added touches such as homemade cakes, bottles of water and fresh milk. There was a choice of cooked full English or Vegetarian breakfasts, plus bread, cereals and yoghurts.

Ample free parking and generous continental breakfast included . Would definitely recommend and love to return. ...a great choice!

    Breakfast was very good in terms of quality and the staff serving were pleasant and very helpful. The location of the hotel is excellent situated on Windermere lakeside close to the boat piers. The room appeared to have been partially upgraded including the en-suite, however the bed and furniture have seen better days. The shower enclosure was a little on the small side but the water pressure and temperature were both fine.

    Wonderful surprising hotel, maybe I didn't reseach enough but really didn't expect the views, quality of decor, etc when I booked. Definately want to come back again with Wife for a personal trip, weekend. Harry was a delight and grounds needed more exploring by me, just didn't have enough. time to really sue the space (a fireplace roaring is on the cards I think for next time I come).

    The location was perfect for our stay, within a couple of minutes walk from Lake Windermere and the town. Amazing hosts who made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast that Nigel cooked was easily the best I've had in a hotel for ages! The Lingwood Lodge exceeded our expectations for sure. Will definitely come back again and stay here. Thanks

    This clean apartment is located in a superb location in Bowness on Windermere. We especially like the extra firmness of the mattress (the usual soft mattress of BnB or hotel hurts my back), which is very comfortable! The owner has provided useful information about the car park after confirmation of the booking.
