The property offers a peaceful stay with well-regarded on-site amenities. Some minor issues with maintenance and cleanliness were noted, but overall experiences have been positive.
Cleanliness
The lodge received praise for its cleanliness, but there were comments about dust and a dirty kitchen bin. The issues seem isolated and not indicative of the general standard, which is high.
Location
The location is highly praised for its proximity to Bowness, the lakeside, and local amenities, with no noise complaints despite being near a main road.
Comfort
Comfort levels are generally high, with comfortable sofas and beds mentioned. However, one guest found the mattress uncomfortable, which slightly lowers the score.

Facilities are well-regarded, with the lodge offering everything needed for a stay. There was an issue with a door and a missing vacuum charger, but these were either fixed promptly or seen as minor.

About this property
Bowness Bay Lodge, is a delightful detached lodge tucked away in a peaceful setting, nestled on the popular Fallbarrow Park, in Bowness-on-Windermere, Cumbria.
This contemporary lodge is just a short stroll from the on site clubhouse and facilities, and only a little further to the amenities of Bowness and Lake Windermere, making it an ideal base for families looking to make the most of Lake District.
Once inside, take over the superbly equipped shaker style fitted kitchen and rustle up a hearty meal to be enjoyed at the dining table. Two plush sofas and an electric fire invite you to settle down, whilst the wall-mounted Smart TV provides entertainment for the evening.
Step out to the decked area and congregate on the large corner sofa, sipping a glass of wine as you relax.
The master bedroom features a double bed and en-suite shower room, whilst the twin is served by a family bathroom.
The World of Beatrix Potter in Bowness is a must-see for lovers of the famed children's author, and National Trust gems like Wray Castle and Hill Top are just a short drive away on the opposite side of the Lake Windermere.

Plan a day trip to Ambleside, where you can rent a rowing boat or hop on a cruiser around the lake and take in the scenery from a different perspective.
