Waterfront vacation rentals in Bowness-on-Windermere

One of the best bnb I stayed so far. Beautiful surroundings. Great view. Neat and clean. Walkable distance to the local stores and pubs. Chirs is so friendly and responsive. 💯 recommended to all who wish to have some good time with wonderful views.

Emma’s place was amazing. Located in an amazing location right on the promenade, beautifully furnished and decorated and clean to a 5 star hotel level. Highly recommend!

It was my second time staying here, and it was perfect again. Anuja is always friendly and responsive., great host!! The view is amazing no matter if it is cloudy or blue sky, you see the whole bay and the mountains, sunrise and sunset views. The beds are so comfy and the flat is warm and cozy. I will be back again! Highly Recommend!

I had a fantastic stay at this apartment. The view was absolutely stunning—perfect for a peaceful, romantic getaway. The space itself is cosy and clean, making it feel like a true home away from home. The host was incredibly accommodating and flexible and really fast at responding, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet, intimate place to relax.

Beautiful place, lovely and clean with complimentary tea / coffee etc. Excellent location. Would highly recommend a stay here.

Herdwick were great hosts with great communication. Everything about the flat is of a very high standard. The only thing that could help even further is a 'welcome book / guide' that explained applicances / walks / wifi (the mesh inc passwords), local shops / restaurant recommendations / recycling etc.......guests would just be able to get even more from their stay.

what an amazing stay. The host went above and beyond when we requested a surprise for a quests birthday 🎂 Will 100% be revisiting. Thank you for an amazing 2 night x

Incredible location, lovely place, super comfy beds, very peaceful, super clean, lake access, away from the bustling Lake District tourism but close enough when we needed it. Sally was helpful and responsive. The best Air BnB experience I’ve ever had. Worth every penny!

Lovely cottage in a perfectly idyllic setting tucked away 5 mins from all amenities in Ambleside. Very clean and well equipped and Catherine was very easy to deal with. Would be happy to return.

It was a great home to make our base to the Lakes. Windermere is about 45 mins drive. the house had more bedroom than we expected, decent kitchen, 3 bathrooms and local superstores about 4 minutes drive. Free on street parking may not be found always outside the house but never more than a minute's walk away. the small patio at the back was nice right outside the kitchen. Definately good value for money!

We loved Mews Cottage and found it very cosy and homely. We loved the cherry blossom and acer trees through the window. We really liked Arnside and the surrounding area. Paula was a very friendly and communicative host.

Beautifully renovated historic home off the beaten path. A stone’s throw from a lovely pub with upscale dining and a short walk from another homey pub with traditional fare. Set in the glorious dales and a quick drive from the Lakes District. Lots of trails right outside the door. Incredibly cozy with room to spread out, most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in and a well-stocked kitchen. Made a great base camp for everything the area has to offer.

Fantastic accomodation, right on the lake with loads of thoughtful treats on arrival. Just what we wanted! Very close to bustling Bowness but also a short hop to tranquility of west shore. We enjoyed kayaking around the islands from our doorstep and took bikes on car ferry and visited Wray castle. Our teenage lads loved the footgolf 5mins from house too. Loads of great walks from nearby. We drove to grasmere (20 min) and did Fairfield horseshoe. Perfect base for all the family. Thanks Helen!

The place was beautiful and very welcoming . It felt like home almost immediately. It's located in a very private setting and we loved the river at the back of the property. We had a few teething issues to begin with as we had a wasps nest outside and the occasional power outage when the switch tripped on the fuse box but the host, Cheryl, was very quick to respond and helped resolve things straight away. She even offered to give us an extra day for free but because we had work the next day the option of a late checkout instead was very welcome. I would highly recommend this place and Cheryl was absolutely fantastic! Thank you Cheryl!

defenately by far one of the best properties I've stayed in. the views are spectacular, the property itself is beautifully designed and very comfortable, had the best night's sleep. would highly recommend staying here. Sam was a great host,all information was very clear and made finding the property very easy. thank you for such an amazing stay we will definitely be back.

We stayed at Thomas Gray House, 2 adults with 3 teenagers. We absolutely loved the location, stunning setting and lots of nearby walks with great views. A couple of really nice pubs to walk to in local village and we combined it with a trip to morecambe on one day and Windermere on another day which were both within about half an hours drive. Jerry was uber responsive for any questions and gave nice video instructions on how to access property etc.

Andrew’s flat was exactly what we needed for a 2-night stay to attend a wedding nearby at Town Head Estate. Check-in was really easy via the key safe and there was ample parking for 2 cars. The flat was clean, well-equipped for 4 adults and also had a useful booklet of recommendations for things to do & useful contacts in the local area. We unfortunately had an issue with the hot water & heating going off during our stay but Andrew was responsive & communicative and got the issue resolved in less than 2hrs. Overall we would recommend this accommodation and would happily stay again if visiting the area in the future.

if you're looking for high quality accommodation, peaceful surroundings and somewhere you can truly relax, this is the place for you. No stone has not been unturned to cater for your every need. There's plenty to do on the doorstep with a beautiful spa just up the road, a local pub called the Anglers Arms that served the most delicious food, a steam train and a boat ride away from lake Windermere and it's not far to alot of different places offering a vast array of different food & drink, walk and cycle options. Lee and Wendy are everything you'd want hosts to be, very informative, helpful, welcoming and full of local recommendations and knowledge.

Great location for us visiting family. Would be good for walkers /bird watchers etc as good coastal access . Lovely view from main living area.

Lovely luxury modern facilities and everything we needed for cooking treats away from home. A really comfy stay for all of us including our two doggies. Great for them to able to go for a walk right from the doorstep. Quiet and peaceful. Lovely views from a cosy apartment. Thank you so much for facilitating the perfect family weekend away to celebrate a birthday and some quality time together. Great to be both within a stones throw of Kendal for some lovely doggie friendly cafes and one of the best butcher shops around as well as being in the quietness of the countryside.

Luxury apartment with a view to match, overlooking Ambleside pier, the lake and mountains. Exquisite! Full use kitchen. Chaisse overlooking the lake is the perfect spot! Comfortable seating in front of large screen TV. Can't wait to come back!

Good location and very easy checking. Jack is very responsive.

Maggie's lovely flat was really conveniently located right in the heart of Kendal' near to all the local attractions. The flat was comfortable, spotless and Lesley was really responsive to anything we needed. Thanks for a great stay.

Lovely peaceful place, perfect for exploring the local area. The cottage was great and had everything I needed. Margaret even left a pint of milk on the doorstep for when I arrived. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends and family 😊
