Lake Lodge in Bowness-On-Windermere is a well-loved holiday rental, praised for its stunning views, welcoming host, and dog-friendly environment. Guests enjoy the cosy atmosphere, comfortable beds, and the added luxury of a hot tub. The property's location offers a perfect balance of tranquillity and proximity to local attractions.
Reviews are mixed regarding cleanliness. Some guests found the lodge spotless, while others noted issues with dust, cobwebs, and mould. The presence of pet-friendly amenities may affect perceptions of cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its beautiful views and peaceful setting. It is close enough to Bowness for convenience while offering a serene retreat. Some guests found it difficult to locate, but overall, the location is considered a highlight.
Guests frequently mention the comfortable beds and cosy living space. The lodge provides a relaxing environment, although a few guests noted that some areas could benefit from updates or maintenance.
The facilities, especially the hot tub, are appreciated by guests. However, there are comments about maintenance issues such as leaks and appliance problems. The garden's security for dogs was also a concern for some.
The host's warm welcome and thoughtful touches, including dog treats, are well-received. While these gestures are appreciated, it is noted that such personal touches may vary and are not guaranteed.
A Lake District lodge with hot tub, in a superb setting with panoramic views through full length windows and overlooking Lake Windermere. It’s a unique, quiet retreat for a special occasion or honeymoon, and perfectly located to explore the Lakeland countryside, but also enjoy the bustling village of Bowness which is only a couple of miles away.
Lake Lodge is full of character; cosy and homely with a four-poster bed and woodburning stove. Dine in alongside a picture window, sit out on your decked terrace to admire the view, or soak in the hot tub with a glass of something special. Your kitchen is well equipped with dining area; and there is a separate shower room.
Bowness high street is modern and sophisticated, with supermarkets and shops providing everything you could need during your stay. Stroll down to Bowness Pier, and you'll find several options for taking to the water: hire a rowing boat, or board a steam cruiser to Ambleside and Lakeside - a perfect way to explore without using a car. In the evening there is plenty of choice for eating out - the cosy traditional pubs such as the 'Hole int Wall', to contemporary restaurants and bars. For a special treat, we recommend that you sample one of the renowned Lake District gastropubs in the Lyth Valley, just to the east of Bowness. There are several to choose from, but The Mason's Arms at Strawberry Bank follows particularly well after a walk on Gummers How.
The vibrant twin towns of Bowness and Windermere hold enduring appeal for visitors to the Lake District National Park, with each providing a range of nearby attractions, amenities, shops and restaurants to suit all tastes. A variety of boat trips and boat hire are available from Windermere Lake Cruises in Bowness to Brockhole, Ambleside and Lakeside (at the southern end of the lake where the Lakeside Aquarium and the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway are situated). The World of Beatrix Potter attraction and the Old Laundry theatre are 1.5 miles away. Orrest Head, where Alfred Wainwright was inspired to write his series of iconic guidebooks, is a 30-minute walk to enjoy the spectacular panorama of far-reaching views over the lake and surrounding fells. Brockhole, which offers high wire tree top experiences, is less than two miles away, and the historic villages of Grasmere, Ambleside and Troutbeck are a short drive away. There are also a variety of watersports on offer for the more energetic at marine centres along the lake. The area is ideally situated for exploring all that this region has to offer, whether by foot, bike, car, railway or bus; and is within easy reach of attractions such as the spectacular Langdales, Beatrix Potter’s Hill Top House at Far Sawrey, Coniston, Grizedale Forest Park, with its delightful walks and famous outdoor sculptures, mountain biking and “Go-Ape” adventure park, Ullswater, Kendal, Keswick, stone circles, Roman forts and England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike.
