The Belsfield Hotel
8.6 (173 reviews)

The Belsfield Hotel ★★★★

📍 Kendal Rd, Windermere, Bowness-on-Windermere

"Fantastic hotel; location, setting, service, etc. My only gripe was the excessive cost of drinks in the bar which was a shame."

Linthwaite House Hotel
9.4 (93 reviews)

Linthwaite House Hotel ★★★★★

📍 Crook Road, Bowness-on-Windermere

"The hotel, which I chose randomly, was a pleasant surprise beyond my expectations. It was truly "small but exquisite." Although I booked a basic room, it wasn't large, but it was very comfortable. The towel rack was heated, and there was air conditioning, which was another unexpected bonus."

The Westmorland Inn
7.7 (67 reviews)

The Westmorland Inn ★★★

📍 Lake Rd, Windermere, Bowness-on-Windermere

"Just fine for the price"

Burn How Garden Hotel - Bowness on Windermere
9.1 (73 reviews)

Burn How Garden Hotel - Bowness on Windermere ★★★★

📍 Back Belsfield Rd, Bowness-on-Windermere

"The hotel is conveniently located 6-7 minutes from the station and lake area, making it easy to access boats and buses. The hotel's environment is pleasant, but honestly, the rooms are quite average. The carpet was a bit dirty, and there were multiple stains on the sofa. The bathroom only had a small bottle of shampoo, no shower gel, but there was a small bar of soap. However, the breakfast included with the room was surprisingly good. The à la carte main courses were very English and definitely worth praising. Just for the breakfast alone, I would recommend this hotel."

The Cranleigh Boutique

The Cranleigh Boutique ★★★★

📍 Kendal Rd, Bowness-on-Windermere

"Amazing hotel"

Macdonald Old England Hotel and Spa
8.8 (93 reviews)

Macdonald Old England Hotel and Spa ★★★★

📍 23 Church St, Windermere, Bowness-on-Windermere

"Let’s start with the absolute best part of the stay: stepping out of the back of the hotel. The mature gardens stretch right down to the water’s edge, complete with the hotel's own private jetty. Sitting out on the terrace with a coffee in the morning, watching the mist rise off Windermere and the boats drift past, is worth a massive chunk of the room rate alone. Because it’s located right in the heart of Bowness-on-Windermere, the convenience is unbeatable. You can park up (fair warning: parking is a hefty £25 per day) and completely forget about your car. The Bowness boat piers are a two-minute stroll away, and you are surrounded by local pubs and restaurants."

Merewyke Boutique Luxury Family Apartment Sleeps 4 , Central Location
8.2 (6 reviews)

Merewyke Boutique Luxury Family Apartment Sleeps 4 , Central Location ★★★★

📍 2 Merewyke Court, Bowness-on-Windermere

"The photos are misleading; the room is small, it's inconvenient to carry luggage up to the third floor, the shower tank has limited hot water and you have to wait several hours for hot water to come back after it runs out, and it's not good value for money."

Fair Rigg By Cradel Haus
8.7 (14 reviews)

Fair Rigg By Cradel Haus ★★★★

📍 Ferry View, Bowness-on-Windermere

Lakes Hotel & Spa
8.6 (100 reviews)

Lakes Hotel & Spa ★★★★★

📍 Lake Road, Bowness-on-Windermere

"Got an upgrade to a bigger room, which was very spacious with a TV area. Room was very clean and the service at the hotel was exceptional. Mark was very helpful. The tourist area is just a short walk away. You won't regret staying here."

The Belsfield Hotel ★★★★
"I booked this hotel after seeing its online reviews. It's close to the lake, situated on a hillside. On a rainy day, the misty scenery is quite charming. However, the food quality is just average."

Burn How Garden Hotel - Bowness on Windermere ★★★★
"We had a lovely stay here for my partners 60th Birthday . Such a good choice I made. Gorgeous room, lovely view opted for a patio area so beautiful over looking the garden. A very tasty breakfast on the morning. Staff so friendly. It's definately a little gem of a place that I had read before hand . Perfect spot to stay, just a walk away from the main shops pubs etc . Perfect ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"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."
