Guests say
Strawberries And Cream offers a warm and cosy stay in the heart of Bowness-on-Windermere, just moments from the lake, shops, and restaurants. Guests consistently praise its superb location, private parking, and well-equipped kitchen. The apartment is clean and inviting, with thoughtful touches and easy communication from hosts. While some mention minor issues with the bathroom and bedding, the overall experience is highly positive, making it an excellent base for exploring the Lake District.
Most guests found the apartment clean and tidy, with spotless linen and towels. However, there was one mention of sheets in the twin bedroom not being changed, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is repeatedly described as excellent, central, and close to the lake, shops, and restaurants. Private parking is a significant bonus in this area.
Guests generally found the apartment warm, cosy, and the beds comfortable. There were a few comments about the main bedroom mattress being uncomfortable and the bathroom feeling a bit 'tired', but overall comfort was rated highly.
The apartment is well-equipped with a modern bathroom, kitchen amenities, smart TV, and private parking. Some minor maintenance issues were noted, such as the bathroom needing improvement, but facilities overall were praised.
Guests appreciated thoughtful touches such as a bottle of bubbly and snacks, as well as good communication from the hosts. Please note that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

We really enjoyed staying in this two bedroomed apartment right in the centre of Bowness On Windermere. It’s surrounded by shops, cafes and restaurants. Lots of breakfast places to choose from. It’s a 2 minute walk to World of Beatrix Potter. Private parking available at the back of the property was extremely convenient! The property was on the first floor via stairs (no lift) so might be a bit difficult for those with mobility issues but this wasn’t a problem for us. The apartment was clean and beautifully decorated. Kids loved the neon lamp in the bedroom. Beds were comfy. Kitchen was well equipped. Bathroom was very modern (looked new) with heated floors. Towels, toiletries and hairdryer were provided. Hosts were easy to contact. They also left us a bottle of bubbly and snack which we enjoyed. This was a great base to explore Bowness and surrounding areas. We would recommend staying here!

What an absolutely fabulous area! There’s so much to see and do, with Strawberries and Cream only a few minutes’ walk from the lake, where the views are simply breathtaking. The local shops and restaurants are right on your doorstep. It’s hard to pull yourself away! And who wouldn’t love being next to an all-year-round Christmas shop? No matter the season, it’s a must-visit. The apartment itself was warm, cosy, and had everything I needed, including spotless linen and towels, plus private parking
