Bed and breakfast vacation rentals in Bowness-on-Windermere

Easy enough to find, friendly host and clean comfy bedroom. Beautiful views and a relaxing stay.

Hannah and her husband are very welcoming. The place is lovely and so peaceful! We will come back if we have the opportunity.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Bank House Farm... treading in the steps of the Swallows and Amazons! The farm house is beautiful, quirky, and historic all at once. We ate in the restaurant where the food is absolutely fabulous, of a very high standard and totally delicious. The meat is reared just there on the farm and it was fantastic to know its local origin. Nothing was too much trouble - when the restaurant was closed, Ross the Chef left us generous sharing platters for our evening meal, and we went off every day with an equally generous packed lunch! We will definitely be back again! Hopefully better weather next time though!

My son and I had a glorious break at Bank Ground Farm. The weather was typically Cumbrian, but we felt so at home this just enforced a much needed rest and down time. We were very comfortable, Jonathon and his staff were so friendly and accommodating, and our fabulous veggie breakfasts were the cherry on the cake. Thankyou so much guys, we'll be back!

We loved our stay at the Bank Ground farm. Jonathon and the staff were extremely hospitable and friendly, and the food was delicious! We can't wait to go back again!

This was late booking done on the day. Couldn't have asked for quicker response. House and grounds are great with table tennis and sauna available which we didn't have chance to use due to our own time constraints. Bedroom/living room/kitchen area have everything you could need. Bathroom huge and includes shower and slipper bath. Warm and cosy house, comfortable bed and lovely white linen. Highlight was sitting out watching the badgers feeding on the lawn at dusk. Wanted to see badgers for ever! Food at the pub owned by Richard was great and only minute away on village main street. Richard and Ros very welcoming and friendly. They have thought of everything, far too much to mention. Highly recommend to other guests and hope to return.

Johnathon was such a warm, welcoming host. We booked at short notice but everything was ready and perfect when we got there. It’s a beautiful place with amazing views. Great communication and special touches

First time to the Lakes District and we found Sarah & Dan very accommodating and informative. Good location to lots of destinations and breakfast was a great way to start the day.

Karen's house is so peaceful and so welcoming - feels like staying at my own house.. She is responsive, looks after requirement and especially her homemade Breakfasts are to yummy.

Fantastic place to stay in the Lake Distric. We went with our own car and there is private parking at the place itself. It is close to the main beautiful towns, lakes and mountains of the district, fitting every plan you might have around the area. We cannot speak about public transport from our own experience. Stuff was so welcoming, communication was so easy and they were giving us advice on the possible plans around the area, making us feel at home. We will definetly come back on our next visit to the district.

Fiona was a lovely host, nothing was too much trouble. The Bedroom and en suite were very pleasing. Lots of extras that Fiona has thought about were appreciated. Can definitely recommend a stay here

We found the Kentrigg House accommodation spacious and very comfortable. The private sitting area with it's own TV is a great place to relax before going to bed. Elizabeth's continental breakfasts are wonderful. Breakfast is served in a large conservatory with great views across the valley. A relaxing and enjoyable stay. We will book again!

We had a lovely weekend at Waterside House. Vanessa is great fun and very helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable, with everything we needed. The breakfast was excellent: between us we sampled the full English, vegetarian English and the pancakes, all of which were good quality and very tasty. It's a very good base for exploring Coniston, Windermere and further afield, and you can walk down a footpath to Esthwaite Water in just a few minutes. We highly recommend this B and B.

Absolutely amazing place to stay, with an old-school character. Very old building with brilliantly authentic interior, which keeps its own long history and secrets😉. It's a Lancashire hidden (or not so hiden) gem. Literally everything, from the Hosts welcoming attitude to the way the rooms and the entire house are presented, makes you feel yourself like in a hide away from modern cyber age back to victorian and even renaissance times. Thanks a lot for everything, Kevin and Maria! Hope to stay at The Homestead again this year.

Lovely welcoming house and hosts, in a beautiful area with outstanding countryside, lakes & hills. Room had all facilities , restful and comfy ; attention to detail exceptional and a brilliant breakfast in the room . Recommend !

Great 1 night getaway above Heidi’s cafe. Great central location to start and end walks in the area. Good communication and instructions from Emma to get into the property. Car parking extra but plenty nearby (£10 for 24 hrs). Lovely quirky room with a balcony (rm 6). Really good breakfast with very helpful staff (Craig). Gluten free catered for, for my wife. The only addition which would make the room perfect would be a small fridge. Will be back at some point in the near future. Thank you.

Tony is a kind, reliable, and responsive host who made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The house is beautifully decorated and thoughtfully furnished, creating a warm and comfortable environment. Its location is ideal: just a 10-minute walk from both the train and main bus stations, which makes it a perfect base for exploring the Lake District. We especially enjoyed not having to worry about breakfast each morning before heading off early on our new adventures. Special highlights were spending time with Smudge, Tony’s adorable and playful kitten, and admiring Tony's latest pottery creations. We’d gladly stay here again without hesitation!

absolutely wonderful stay, breathtaking views and wonderful food nearby. Sarah is a fabulous host and her recommendations are spot on! thank you ☺️

we stayed at Liz and Edwards farm which was one of the most memorable experience. The place was tastefully decorated by Liz who had been an amazing, helpful and kind host serving up delicious cakes and breakfast each day, making sure we start the day right! She was extremely helpful in suggesting places to visit as well as showed us around her beautiful farm. One of the best bnb's i have stayed at and would definitely visit back when visiting the lake district. The farm gets covered by a blanket of stars at night, an ideal location for a peaceful holiday!

The wife and I stayed here over Easter long weekend and we were blown away! Liz is such a great host and the house is situated on a sheep farm which is close enough to town should you need but ideal for a private getaway. The property forms part of the Dale Way which is fantastic as a stopping point if you're the hiking sort like we are. Liz was on point with cleaning up our rooms each day, cooking us brekky and had many good ideas and recommendations for places for dinner or places to explore. We will definitely add this to our list of places to travel back to, especially when in the Lake District again. Can't rate anything down, truly a 10/10. Thank you Liz, we loved it!

Kim was very welcoming. Peaceful area not too far from kendal centre. I enjoyed my stay
