Park View Reviews

Nice cosy place to chill out , all mod cons , friendly helpful owners , ideal for the town, easy parking .
I don't think you can fault the accommodation for the price. I would prefer a blind in the bathroom but that is just my personal choice. Kitchen is really well equipped. It is in a great location with off road parking. We have booked this accommodation again for New Year.
Just as good as last time, will come again in the near future
Rosemary
We were really pleased with our accommodation, it's location was perfect for us, 3 mins into bowness yet very quiet spot to stay and easy parking access. The owner went above and beyond for us and I couldn't be more grateful. Would definitely stay there again.
Fabulous location, just 5 minutes walk to the town and lakes. Really appreciated the little gravelled garden. Photos do not give it justice! Very modern and cosy for 2 adults and dog. Bedroom area a little cosy but very comfortable.
The sofa is very soft and low down. I had difficulty getting up.
Great week had by us , everything you need is at parkview , cosy warm appartment ,very helpful owners , safe parking space no complaints , thanks .
Great area with closeness to BownessonWindermere for shops and restaurants, ... Great area with closeness to BownessonWindermere for shops and restaurants, just a few minutes walk away, would go back again
Park View a comfortable apartment on the edge of Bowness. Handy for restaurants, pubs and shops the nearby Spar shop was a surprise for choice and quality. This was my 3rd visit and I would expect to visit again.
We had a lovely Christmas
Been in this place before and looks like it's been upgraded slightly. Bathroom and living room, kitchen great. Plenty room. The bedroom is slightly small with no storage for suitcases so they had to go in the car once emptied but not a big problem. The bed is a double so not big enough for us. I like a king. Location is fab. Liked the garden for the dog.
Excellent location, very well equipped apartment, ideal base for travelling in the area, lovely welcome pack. All round enjoyable break
Thomas
The property was as described in the listing. Ideal for a couple, warm, clean and comfortable with a good sized shower room. Just a short walk into Bowness town centre and close to many other amenities. A generous welcome pack was much appreciated. I would definitely stay here again.

We had a great weeks holiday,2nd visit this year. The property had every thing you needed, it was clean and cosy.A kind gesture was left for us a bottle of wine and cake,parking space too. we where in walking distance to lake windmere, local shops and pubs. Within driving distance to different fells . Check out the local fells Trout beck tongue was a lovely walk and the views where amazing .
Took a while to get used to the washing machine and induction hob as both were not what we were familiar with . My wife didnt find the hair drier until the fourth day. in general the property fulfilled our needs and location was perfect.
Robert
All good. Good location. Near the main town. Parking right outside the flat, and a convenient shaded garden which was very welcomed in the hot weather we had there. Will hopefully visit again.
Third time staying at this lovely little apartment, it has everything you need for a week away. Ideally situated for hikes and a minutes walk into bowness, your own parking space and a little garden area which is ideal for my dog! Thank you again, should hopefully be back again next year!
Lovely place to stay, perfect for two people and a small dog, has everything you need and we were welcomed with a lovely bottle of red wine and some local biscuits plus a range of tea and coffee. Its nicely set back away from the bustle of the main road but only a short walk to all the pubs and boat cruises.
Our stay at this delightful studio apartment was perfect. The apartment had everything you could need to make your stay comfortable and the owner Mike certainly made sure of that. There was even a courtyard with table & 2 chairs to sit and relax. If you didnt want to travel out of Bowness every was on your doorstep Pubs, shops & lake. The ground floor apartment was situated across the road from Spar garage which had a great butchers. We would definitely book a stay here again & we even had good weather!

Clean & comfortable.
Absolutely beautiful little flat. Very modern and fully equipped. Above all, it was so cosy and we felt very much at home. Perfect location for town and lake. Parking spot, which is gold in Bowness. Lovely gift of wine and cake from the owner, who is a lovely man. Cannot fault this. We will be back.
A lovely comfortable flat. The small things made a difference to the holiday i.e the heater in the bathroom, a shower caddy for storing toiletries, the welcome pack, tea, salt and vinegar etc. Thank you we had an amazing week.

A lovely, immaculate, well equipped flat with an invaluable parking space, enclosed patiogarden, and 23 minutes level walk into Bowness centre ! Perfect ! The kind, helpful owners had left a lovely welcome tray as well much appreciated! If only the weather had been half as good ! However, the flat was so comfortable and pleasant, it was lovely spending time indoors! Booking it again, hoping for better weather .
Kirsty
This was our third stay at Parkview, we love it. So close to lake, pubs restaurants shops. Lovely and quiet on an evening and a small garden for your four legged friend, also a parking space. Needless to say we'll be back again thank you to hosts for welcome pack much appreciated .
Stayed here again after staying last summer, its just the most ideal spot, your own parking space, got all the essentials and the bottle of wine and biscuits is always lovely. Very ideal for me and my dog, just a nice amount of space for us, Im sure Ill be back again next summer!
Had a great week's stay at Park View, very clean and tidy, close to lake and local travel and all pubs, restaurants etc. I would recommend Sykes update the pictures as the appartment looks nothing like the ones shown, is very modern and bright. Would recommend and would stay here again.
