Two West End Reviews

Pei Zhang
The bed linen was not clean and dirty towels were left in the bathroom on our arrival and check in. Dinner table was dusty. Called them right away but no one came to attend to the dirty towels and bedlinen. Had to sleep on the dirty bed. Had to call again on the following day morning and eventually someone came in the afternoon to change the bedlinen and provide clean towels. My girlfriend and I were not happy and my parents who paid for the apartment were disappointed. Pei Zhang.
Great stay ideal spot in the centre of town, clean and tidy close to bowness pier loads of restaurants and bars close by can highly recommend would definitely return. BrianJean.
Enjoyed our first stay here in Two West End. Loved the flat and location. Flat had everything we needed. One of the best flats weve stayed in over the last 30 years in Bowness. Everything from the decor, kitchen utensils and hairdryer and straighteners was well thought out. Loved all the photos.
We loved our stay at 2 West End! great location, everything was very clean, the small notes are very helpful, loved the decor and all essential items available.
Booked as a late 30th and 14 year anniversary for my partner and myself. We've stayed in Bowness once before not too far from 2 West End. From the get go it was amazing, central location, the apartment has everything you need! I saw some people criticise the decor in the bathroom, I thought it was quirky and added to the personality. There was a photo on the bedroom wall which I wanted more info on as I share the same last name, would be interesting if a family members photo was on the wall where I stayed! My only complaint and I understand in a 3 storey property it can be difficult was we had some connectivity issues with the WiFi, general doom scrolling was okay but streaming was a small problem. In no way would this impact our decision to come back. Communication with Elizabeth was easy through the Sykes app also!
Joanna
Lovely apartment extremely well kitted out for all your needs throughout the stay. Second time visiting and will definitely be back. Updates and info sent before our visit from the owners which was really a nice touch. Highly recommended, beautiful place and accessible for everything.
We've had the most lovely time staying here, all the facilities & the location was perfect. thank you so much, will book again!
Absolutely fantastic apartment, everything has been well thought of to ensure a comfortable stay. Location perfect, bed super comfy! Thanks so much, we will definitely book again.
We had a fantastic stay for New Year. We come all the time and this is a hidden gem ! The bed was a dream to sleep on. Facilities were over and above and we loved the balcony.
Loved it here! Did what we came to do eat, drink and relax. Lovely place to stay
Loved it, warm and cosy everything we needed.
We really enjoyed our holiday. Very clean apartment everything was available and a great location
Superb location with fantastic access to local amenities, however, parking could have been an issue but due to being disabled and having a blue badge the locals advised us of where to park legally and we ended up right outside the property. Whilst clean, the property could do with a deeper clean for perfection and a dishwasher would have been advantageous. That said, we would stay again.
We love Bowness and have visited many times. It has been an absolute treat to stay in the heart of it. Great apartment with everything you need. Can recommend Cafe No4 for a fabulous breakfast.
Lovely apartment and fabulous central location. Very clean and well kept and has everything you need for your stay. Had a great 3 nights here. I would recommend staying here as so central. Loved the balcony and relaxing on there, watching the world go by. Thank you.
Joanna
Lovely spacious apartment. Excellent appliances and accessories , everything you need for a fab break in the heart of Bowness. Just a tiny thing a small basic blind on the kitchen window would be perfect. Brilliant stay and would definitely be back
Lovely flat and gorgeous location. We absolutely love the furniture set up we could not be happier. Thank you so much for having us.
