Guests say
The Bowery in Ambleside is highly praised for its cleanliness, central location, and well-equipped facilities. Guests appreciate the comfortable bed, excellent shower, and the added convenience of a parking space. While the sofa comfort has been noted as an area for improvement, the property's overall charm and the thoughtfulness of a Christmas tree during the festive season have left a positive impression.
Guests consistently describe the apartment as spotlessly clean, with several reviews highlighting its immaculate condition, which suggests a high standard of cleanliness is maintained.
The central location in Ambleside is frequently commended for its convenience to shops, transport, and local attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring the Lake District.
The comfort of the property is generally well-regarded, especially the bed and shower. However, multiple guests have mentioned that the sofa could be more comfortable, which slightly lowers the score in this category.
The apartment is celebrated for its well-equipped kitchen, superb shower, and overall maintenance. Some guests suggested improvements such as a bath, washing machine, and better sofa, indicating room for enhancement in facilities and maintenance.
The presence of a Christmas tree during the festive season was a thoughtful touch appreciated by guests. However, as this is the only mention of a thoughtful gesture and it is not guaranteed for all stays, the score reflects this.
About this property
This classy apartment is spread over two floors, accessed by an external staircase. It is a
romantic retreat at the heart of the Lake District’s most cosmopolitan village. There are a wealth
of exhilarating walks and lake shore attractions to explore close by.
The stunning panoramic views from The Bowery have to be seen to be fully appreciated, creating
a beautiful backdrop for the relaxing interior.
Sleek wood floors, elegant décor mixed with fun touches. You can dine at the kitchen island, in
the living room with fell views, al-fresco on your bijou patio, get a home delivery or take a stroll
out to sample the myriad of eateries in Ambleside.
Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.

I was nervous about the car parking arrangements, but they are not at all scary. We plan to return.

The facilities are very good. A very comfortable bed and great shower. Plenty of very good eateries in Ambleside. We loved our stay at The Bowery. Everywhere inside was spotlessly clean. Will definitely want to stay again.
