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.

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.

We have stayed at the cranleigh three times in the past 12 months and can honestly say each stay just gets better and better! Due to unfortunate circumstances we had to change our booking with less than 24 hours notice, luckily the receptionist was amazing and took into account our situation and managed to change our booking for the following day, we were incredibly grateful to her and it made our day just a little bit less stressful. We were more than ready for a break when we arrived but we felt relaxed as soon as we checked into the Passion Suite. Beautiful decor and furnishings, spa bath big enough for two and an outdoor terrace to make the most of the rare sunny day we had while enjoying the complimentary cocktails. In the evening we enjoyed cocktails at the fizzy tarte then headed to BAHA for our evening meal, both establishments are beautiful, have amazing staff and the food at BAHA was delicious! After an amazing sleep in the comfortable bed, we enjoyed our cooked breakfast delivered to our room. Such a treat to be able to enjoy breakfast in private and again it was incredible- great choice of cooked and continental options. We went home feeling pampered and relaxed after a much needed break- but we can't wait to book and visit again!

I chose to stay at the villa on Lake Windermere in the Lake District for one night. The landlord was very Nice. The breakfast he made was delicious. The home was also very delicate and warm. [Smile], the villa is on the edge of the lake, there is a lake along the lake. The path can go to the cruise ship terminal and the town center, the scenery is beautiful

My wife and I booked a last minute trip away over the weekend 2-3 November. We've stayed at a number of hotels and B&B's over the years, in a leisure and business capacity so can be quite choosy. After some due diligence we decided to give Bowness Bay Suites a try. To say we were not disappointed is an understatement! This place is fantastic, the room was spotless, spacious and extremely comfortable. We stayed in the Hilltop Suite - one of 6 in the building and I suspect every one will be of the highest quality. What made the stay extra special was the customer service. Our host Howie met us outside and helped my wife inside with the suitcase as I went to park. (They also offer a great deal for car parking) He is such a lovely guy and you can instantly tell he takes great pride in putting the customer first. He is very friendly, knowledgeable and wants nothing more than for you to enjoy your stay. We would not hesitate to book here again if/when we ever get chance to have another free weekend away from work/grandparent duties :-) Great place, great location, great hosts!

Very good environment and accommodation, the whole hotel is a small resort with a very good environment. The room was clean and tidy, the apartment also had kitchen equipment and a full set of cutlery. The hotel is very close to the lake area and shopping is very close, very convenient. The Lake District is so beautiful! We will come again! recommend!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Lovely cosy hotel, our room was very comfortable, shower was good as was the bath. Bed was very comfortable and we slept well both nights. It was very quiet. Breakfast was brought to your door in the morning at a time convenient for you and was really nice, choice of cereal, hot roll, yoghurt, juice, tea or coffee. There is a kettle with tea, coffee and milk in the room too. Wifi was good. Our host Jenny was super and very helpful with walks in the area. All in all I would definitely recommend staying here. Don't let the signs of building work outside put you off..it was not an issue at all.

We didn't receive check in instructions 3 days before as stated on our booking (via VRBO) so I had to contact the host. They responded quickly and said we would receive check in details on the day when the apartment was ready, which was a bit worrying! We received a text half an hour before check in. The apartment was nice but wasn't what we had booked (different aoartment!) and also had no parking despite specifically stating this on the booking. The host responded quickly and sent someone within a couple of hours to sort the beds into singles for the kids so that was fine. The beds were comfortable, the water was hot and the apartment was generally nice but unfortunately it was too noisy for me. The sweet shop downstairs plays loud radio all day and you can hear noise from other flats. Plus it's right on a road and one night we had some people loitering about outside screeching. Luckily I had earplugs! We were offered use of a parking space but there was often someone else in the space. There is a public car park across the road so it's not a big deal but the listing / booking should make this clear and not state that there is parking if there isn't. If booking via VRBO just check with the host what you are booking first!

Very lovely guest house with very good breakfast, very close to supermarket and restaurants, can take cruise in only several minutes.

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.
