Our stay at Linthwaite House was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the breathtaking landscape and peaceful atmosphere. The location offered the perfect blend of tranquility and accessibility—close to the town and lake, yet surrounded by nature in a way that made us truly disconnect and unwind. The facilities were luxurious, and the kindness and professionalism of the staff exceeded every expectation. We instantly felt welcomed and at home. Dining at Henrock was a highlight—the food, service, and ambiance were mind-blowing, easily one of the best dining experiences we’ve had. We also enjoyed meals and drinks in the bar and conservatory, which were equally memorable. Every detail felt thoughtfully curated. What we loved most was the community feel of the hotel. It’s quiet, calming, and deeply connected to the natural beauty around it, yet it offers all the comfort and sophistication of a world-class boutique hotel. We left feeling completely refreshed and already dreaming about our next visit. Thank you to the entire team at Linthwaite House for an unforgettable stay.

    We enjoyed walking around the town, despite the rain. Car parking was expensive and it was busy, despite being term time. We had a delicious breakfast at a cafe over a bakery. We loved sitting at the lakeside watching the boats.

    Bowness is a fabulous base to sightseeing from. It's a lovely little area of the Lake District. Very busy at times and too much traffic and not enough parking spaces. Best to get there early if you need to park. Lots of bars, restaurants, cafes and shops. Sunday market. Lots to see and do.

    This is the third time I have been back to Bowness this year. I love the art shops, the clothes shops and most importantly the home made fudge. So relaxing watching the boats on the lake and geting the ferry to the other side to walk up to Hill Top. It was a struggle to get my grandaughter away from the Beatrix Potter museum.

    This is an exceptional bed and breakfast hotel in the heart of Bowness. Close to all the pubs, restaurants, shops and the lakeside, though up a short steep hill!! The bedroom (room 4) was very spacious and clean with a superb bath and shower. Nick the host also provides a few welcome added touches such as homemade cakes, bottles of water and fresh milk. There was a choice of cooked full English or Vegetarian breakfasts, plus bread, cereals and yoghurts.

    We loved everything about our stay at Craig Manor. Staff we're great, room was beautiful, with the most comfortable bed ever! Breakfast was really tasty with plenty of choice. Location was fantastic, situated between Windermere and Bowness on Windermere, just a short walk into both. The views were amazing. We loved every minute and would definitely stay again. Couldn't recommend this hotel enough.
