Bowness-on-Windermere Hotels with Bars

The Macdonald Old England Hotel is well situated, being just a stones throw from the lakeside and the shops in Bowness. The staff are friendly and obliging and the service matches their attitude. The breakfasts are fine, although the staff can sometimes be a bit slow in replenishing the tureens. We did not use the Spa, so we cannot comment on that. Overall, we found the hotel to have all the facilities that we were lookling for and we would be happy to stay there again.

We booked a family room, the service staff was very friendly, helped us carry our luggage to the room and introduced it. The child was very satisfied with the room, clean, tidy and warm! It was a great experience!

The environment is excellent. It is the most beautiful among the small towns. The hotel is also quite historic. However, the service of the restaurant is really different from one waiter to another. I don't know if it is for Chinese people or what. There was a blonde who was very unpleasant in terms of attitude and ordering. Some were very nice.

My wife and I stayed at Burn How for 4 nights. Immediately we found the staff most welcoming and friendly. The pleasant atmosphere was maintained at breakfast throughout our stay. The spacious room- with everything you might need- was part of a block of chalets set romantically amongst some beautiful trees. If we return to Bowness we will look no further than Burn How for accommodation. Glyn Davies

Let me talk about it one by one. First, the scenery is unbeatable. It is on the top of a mountain. After reading the introduction, I found that it should be a holiday resort bought by a group. In addition to the hotel, there are wineries, massage rooms and other single-family houses for rent. There is also a small artificial lake where you can go boating and horseback riding in summer. Second, the house is an old-fashioned wooden structure with poor sound insulation. The thick carpet creaks when you walk on it. You can clearly hear people passing by and talking at the door. The house has no air conditioning but heating. It was quite comfortable when I went there in late October, but I don’t know how it is in summer. I used the key shown below, which is quite cute. Third, it’s still the above problem. It’s on the top of the mountain. It’s very convenient for local British people to drive there in ten minutes. But it’s troublesome for travelers like me. It takes at least one hour to walk up and another hour to walk down. There is no UBER in the town of Bonness. You have to call to take a taxi. Moreover, there will be no taxis if you are too early or too late. For me who can hardly speak English, it’s very annoying. It gets dark at five o’clock in the UK in winter. I had to walk back from the town of Bonness after dinner. There were no lights and no people in the second half of the road. It was pitch black. I was hiking in the rain alone with only the sound of birds singing in my ears. Fortunately, I am a boy But it was also a different experience. It's still not safe for girls. It's not recommended to walk at night. Fourth, the front desk service was very good. The lady with glasses on the first day was also polite. I basically couldn't speak English, but she was still patient. The best one was the front desk lady in Rome, Italy, who I met on the second day. It seemed that she had been to Beijing and Shanghai and could speak Chinese. Thank you. She patiently taught me to order breakfast. I had to transfer to London from Windermere Station early in the morning on the third day. It was too early, and the taxi I called for me on the phone couldn't come. She actually drove me to Windermere Railway Station in the morning and then went back to work. Otherwise, I would have to walk down the mountain in the dark for more than an hour at six in the morning. I would like to say thank you very much here. I hope the Italian Rome lady will come to China again when she is free. In the evening, there will be a special regular masseur to ask if you need a massage before going to bed. On the first day, there was a beautiful woman. My English was too poor to understand what she meant. I thought she was cleaning the house. Later, I didn't ask for a massage and didn't tip her. I was really sorry. On the second night, there was a strong British man. I understood it after a while. I was afraid that I was not used to it, so I didn't ask for a massage. I gave a tip but declined it politely. It was very good. Fourth, let's talk about the hotel price The lowest price is over 3000 RMB per night. The price is not cheap. Ctrip said that breakfast is not included, but it is actually included. The breakfast is very good, a typical English breakfast. You can pay the waiter 5 pounds to send it to the room. In conclusion, if you have enough budget and want to relax and enjoy the different scenery of the British Lake District, it is definitely the first choice. But next time I go there, I will definitely translate my domestic driver's license and rent a car, otherwise my legs will be broken.

I especially recommend this hotel, a old English villa, which is newly renovated and British style. It is very clean and full of toiletries. It is 3 minutes away from the town by car. The room can see part of the lake view and the surrounding environment. Very good, I especially like their afternoon tea, the tea set is very exquisite, and I look at it with great care! Part of the breakfast is buffet, and the main meal is à la carte, with a large portion and enough to eat! If you have children staying with you, you must tell the hotel in advance that the children need to charge a fee of £28.50/piece/night! This fee includes breakfast and extra bed. If it is not stated in advance, the fee will still be charged, but there will be no extra bed! Expresso capsule coffee is provided free of charge in the room, which is my favorite. Those who like coffee are very surprised!

The Windermere Hydro Hotel is located in the center of the Lake District. The hotel is very nice, on a slope, the rooms are very clean, the breakfast is very rich, and the free parking lot is particularly recommended, which provides very convenient conditions for self-driving people

The scenery around the hotel is very beautiful, right by the lake. It takes three minutes to walk to Peter Rabbit World and 10 minutes to walk to the cruise ship terminal. It is highly recommended.

There is a pool, but there is no pool. The front desk service is not good, I feel that I am too lazy to take care of you, and seeing the child will force the extra bed to charge 35 fat one night, a bit arrogant. The room attendant was very nice and the waiter in the restaurant was very good.

I was afraid that the Lake District was too busy to book a hotel. I booked this hotel very early. The facts proved to be correct. There are too many people in the Lake District! We arrived at one o'clock in the afternoon, about twenty minutes walk from Windermere train station, which is a bit far away. This hotel is actually in Bowness, closer to the lake. You can't check in when you arrive, you need to wait until two o'clock in the afternoon. Our family had to wait to check in in the afternoon sun, and ate the sandwiches we brought with our suitcase as the table. Check in on time at two o'clock. The room is on the third floor, there is no elevator, the stairs are very narrow, and it is a bit difficult to carry luggage. It’s a pity that the room is good, although it is an old house, the facilities are relatively new and the bed is relatively large. It's less than ten minutes' walk from the lake, much closer than the train station. There are small supermarkets and restaurants near the hotel, which is more convenient. It must be noted that luggage storage is marked on the website. In fact, it is not allowed to deposit. It is six pounds at the visitor center, only until 5 pm.
