Bowness Central Reviews

Self contained, central studio apartment. Easy to access and had mostly everything needed. Nice and clran, comfy bed and decent shower. Great if you dont mind a bit of hustle and bustle noise, which we dont mind at all. Could do with a fan for hotter weather,no corkscrew, half a roll of toilet paper and no hand soap in the bathroom. Bathroom extractor fan sounds like a jet engine

Very comfortable living space and great location right in the centre of bowness. Perfect for a couples holiday away and had everything we needed for the week we stayed.

Angela

Our stay was very pleasant and we had the best time away for my partners 50th birthday surprise. I treated my partner to a 5 day 4 nights stay here at Bowness Central. Our accommodation was just perfect. it was an absolutely beautiful stay many thanks we shall stay again very soon

Sheena

Perfect location although car was parked in public car park. All you need for a short stay was in the apartment and fittings to a very high standard. Possibly noisy in the warm weather with windows opening directly over main pedestrian street. No information provided in the apartment which was a shame, particularly for first time visitors to the area, so make sure you do your research before arrival.

Zahida

This property was in a perfect location. It was great to be so near Lake Windermere, local transport and local shops. We had a fantastic time here, and would loved to have stayed longer. All amenities were available and it was a really lovely experience.
