It was a long drive inside from the main highway but once we reached the place , it was a hidden gem with absolutely stunning views. The breakfast was very nice with fresh ingredients, my husband loved the fresh salmon on his toast and I enjoyed the vegan grilled plate . The view from the restaurant was to die for . We had a lovely stay 😊

    Where I stayed was quiet and away from the main road but only a very short walk to the nearest main road bars restaurants gift shops for example. 10 to 15 minute walk down to Bowness on Windermere pier at the pierced the views were great we took one journey on one of the fairies which gave us wonderful views of the surrounding area the boat was extremely clean and very smooth. Buses were regular every 20 minutes to half an hour it was a bit confusing at some bus stops in different places like Grasmere for example and Ambleside. The 599 open top bus was nice with a audio tour guide of the surrounding area for your journey. Overall our stay or was very pleasant we manage to do everything that we plan to do within our five day trip. The two standout places for me was wast water which is a must see and Rydal water but to be honest it's beautiful whichever place you go to disease just get better and better.

    Bowness is a lovely location on Lake Windermere.

    Bowness is a lovely location on Lake Windermere. If you like trips by water, it is a good place to visit but a bit lacking in things to do apart from that. There is a good bus service to Kendal or Keswick but leave the car and use public transport. You can go to Ambleside by boat or bus but the town is packed during the summer season.

    The view from the window, presentation of the property, decor of the room, bottle of water on arrival. Closeness of township. The staircase was a challenge and heating could have been better controlled.

    The location was just perfect.

    The location was just perfect. It was central for us to adventure out and explore the Lake District. It was also an exciting location for relaxation in the evenings. Lots of fine restaurants and pubs to choose from with a lovely holiday atmosphere abounding everywhere. Regretfully the car ferry was out of order and not available to us. That was a bit of a nuisance as our touring plans had envisaged that being available. None the less we had a fabulous holiday and were not overly put-out by the loss.

    It is so easy going in Bowness we try to come here as often as we can. There’s something to do for everyone young and old. We have a dog now and he’s so relaxed here many places are dog friendly. Bars and restaurants brilliant especially Italians on the Main Street. Our favourite place can’t wait to come back

    I liked the Beatrix Potter museum, Holehird Gardens, and Stagshaw gardens, Hayes garden centre up in Ambleside. Booked an amazing day trip with Mountain Goat tours that took us around ten Lakes of the Lake District with our amazing guide Mark Shipley. the restaurants I went to was Francine's up in Windermere, Urban Food House (superb) and the Magic Roundabout. I was within walking distance of everything in Bowness. I probably would avoid booking in the school holidays, was very busy everywhere. the weather was very changeable but it is the wettest area of Great Britain.

    Rooms were clean and spacious. Little extras in the room were nice. Got a lake and mountain view without paying for a room that offered the views which was a bonus. Staff were warm and welcoming. Very impressed with the stay. Breakfast is buffet style with lots of options and the food was lovely. 2 minute walk to the centre of town. Nice and quiet on a night. Didn't hear much noise from other guests rooms. Will definitely be staying here again.

    Excellent location and only a short walk to Bowness on Windermere pier as well as the shops and other eateries if you desire. Friendly and helpful staff -we couldn't fault our break. We booked the Deluxe Bay room and it didn't disappoint. A nice large room with a huge comfortable bed and a lovely big bathroom. Good wi fi and parking right next to our property/room. Breakfast excellent choice and very tasty.

    The property was conveniently located to allow for walking distances into Bowness on Windermere or Windermere. Car Parking was available as advertised and the hotel it self was very clean and well maintained. The host was very friendly and approachable for local knowledge on activities/places to eat within the area. The breakfast itself was a good standard and filled for the day ahead. The WIFI worked as well.

    The location was perfect for our stay, within a couple of minutes walk from Lake Windermere and the town. Amazing hosts who made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast that Nigel cooked was easily the best I've had in a hotel for ages! The Lingwood Lodge exceeded our expectations for sure. Will definitely come back again and stay here. Thanks

    Susanne and Glen are welcoming hosts. Room was as described and clean. Comfortable bed and good hot shower. Varied breakfast options lovingly served. Can walk into Bowness on Windermere along the lake path. Can come and go with your own set of keys. Hosts are informed about the local area and won't hesitate to help out with tips and advice. Definitely recommend.
