Bowness Bay Suites

A very comfortable clean and spacious suite with a balcony view to the lake. Everything was as described and the owners were helpful and attentive. We will definitely go back.

Is this a racist hotel? Due to some schedule problems, I could not arrive at the hotel very early, but I drove as fast as possible on the way from Edinburgh. Most importantly, I called the hotel twice in advance, explaining that I would arrive at 11:30 to check in, and the hotel said that he would wait for my arrival. However, when I arrived at 11:30, the landlord came out and scolded us and told us that the reservation had been canceled, and his attitude was very, very bad. There were two middle-aged men in total, their expressions were very fierce, and they treated us with a very bad attitude after the trip. As a young girl, it was difficult not to be afraid when facing such a scene in a foreign country. As the hotel did not inform us of the cancellation in advance, and only on short notice after we arrived, where the humanitarian was, it was hard not to suspect that they were racist towards us. The last-minute cancellation left me with nowhere to go for a night in Windermere, and I really don't recommend booking this hotel unless you want a scary, racist experience on your trip.

Our stay was a birthday gift and what a gift, our suite was fabulous, we didn’t actually want to go out. The homely feel, the bed , bedding and all the little extra touches are of a five star hotel. Our hosts were amazing, nothing too much trouble. This is definitely on our revisit list. Thank you Howard and Martin.

Beautiful clean and well appointed suite. Nice to have a separate lounge area to relax after a day of exploring. The Juliette balcony offers nice views of the lake and during our break somewhere to catch the sun rays. The bed was extremely comfortable with nice quality bed linen. The hosts were there to offer a friendly welcome and assist you with your luggage ,give room info and tips for walks and places to eat and drink in the local area. The also made sure they were around on departure which I thought was a lovely personal touch. Will definitely be back and will recommend the suites to any family or friends who are visiting the beautiful Lakes. Thank you for a fantastic stay.

We stayed here at Bowness bay suites in the Hilltop suite. This is situated on the top floor so you have to go up 3 small flights of stairs. We picked this suite specifically for the views as you have a view of Bowness lakeside and Windermere lake and the Bellsfield hotel gardens from the French windows in the lounge, then you have a view of a quiet road with a pub and cottages from the bedroom window. This suite is open planned, cosy, warm and roomy. I loved the baroque style decor in the bedroom with a full length mirror a huge bed with gorgeous bedding. Bathroom has a towel rail that you switch on from just outside the bathroom door and underfloor heating, a bath with overhead shower. The lounge was comfy. Sofa was a bit too low for me but was cute and comfy. There is a small fridge which we stocked up our drinks and snacks. A kettle with a generous supply of milk, tea etc is provided. We didn’t opt for the breakfast as we planned on having a lazy lie-in so we can’t give an opinion on that. We were given a very friendly and warm welcome by the two gentlemen that run Bowness bay suites. This hidden gem is tucked just up the hillside behind the village Inn pub and is literally a 1 minute walk to the lakeside and shops. Would we stay here again? Absolutely! We found this place on a 3rd party booking site but if you’re a savvy shopper then book direct through their private website as I saved myself £30 doing so.
