Bowness-on-Windermere Hotels with Swimming Pools

My wife and I stayed at Burn How for 4 nights. Immediately we found the staff most welcoming and friendly. The pleasant atmosphere was maintained at breakfast throughout our stay. The spacious room- with everything you might need- was part of a block of chalets set romantically amongst some beautiful trees. If we return to Bowness we will look no further than Burn How for accommodation. Glyn Davies

The best hotel in the town! It has a big view, good facilities and is relatively new! Looking out from the window is like a painting! The bed is super big and very comfortable! The service is also very good

This hotel has a long history and was used to train marines during World War I. The location is also very good. You can sit in the restaurant or the outdoor porch and quietly enjoy the different views of Lake Windermere in rainy and sunny weather. The hotel has its own all-day restaurant, but the food on the menu is not very attractive. If you want, there is a high-scoring restaurant on Google Maps just a few minutes outside the hotel. The lamb, calf and fish seen in the lake area are all delicious. You can also see a rabbit family in the hotel garden. It is indeed the hometown of Peter Rabbit. It is also very convenient to go to the pier. You can take a ferry or rent a battery boat or a rowing boat. The battery boat we rented was because it was sunny that day. The battery boat has a sunshade and costs 42 pounds per hour. Now let's talk about the service of this hotel. The front desk, the porter and the waitress in the restaurant provided excellent service during the two days we stayed there. However, I was not satisfied with the male waiter on duty in the restaurant on those two days: the guests were seated without tableware and were busy cleaning other tables. I called several times to order food but he ignored it and even replied: we are short of staff. After I took the knife and fork by myself and described the above situation to a male waiter who looked like a foreman, he asked me hypocritically if I needed a knife and fork now. The plates on the table could not be cleared in time. In addition, the herring was too salty. They did not actively ask for tea or coffee. Even the Twinings tea bag box on the breakfast table was empty for a whole morning until the meal was closed, and it was not replenished. Let alone other bread and other foods. In such a prestigious and historic Lake District hotel, such service is unacceptable. The good news is that the two waitresses on duty on the second day changed my feelings. They were enthusiastic and quick, and were willing to provide excellent service to customers. It happened to be the European Cup final that day, and the hotel provided guests with an activity room to watch the game together, which was still down-to-earth.

There is a pool, but there is no pool. The front desk service is not good, I feel that I am too lazy to take care of you, and seeing the child will force the extra bed to charge 35 fat one night, a bit arrogant. The room attendant was very nice and the waiter in the restaurant was very good.

The owner of the homestay is very enthusiastic, the breakfast cooked by the hostess is too rich, very good! The homestay is less than 10 minutes drive from the train station, and it takes only 5 minutes to walk to the lake. The location is very good. The room is clean and the bed is very comfortable.

Very good, the host couple is super enthusiasm

The hotel environment is excellent. The hotel has its own private garden. It is located high on the hillside, and the lake view and sunset in the distance are also amazing. The room is clean and the facilities are complete. The only problem is, do British people have to wait so long for an ordered breakfast? From ordering to serving, it took us half an hour to get fruit salad, coffee, and bread. The main breakfast was not served after waiting for 45 minutes. When we asked, they said it would be ready soon, and they missed the juice we ordered. Regardless of whether we don’t understand other people’s rhythm, the waiting time is really long. Compatriots staying here should be mentally prepared. You can go down to order in advance, and then it’s a long wait, at least half an hour. At this speed, you can only order once. If you want to order once, you may have to wait for more than half an hour. It takes 45 minutes to wait for such a simple breakfast😒

This is a hotel run by an old couple. The grandpa has a very good attitude. He also helped us bring us to check in and introduce the facilities of the room. The location of the hotel is very good, a few minutes walk to the lake, supermarkets, small shops and restaurants . A parking ticket will be given to you to park in the parking lot diagonally opposite. Breakfast is also provided with a breakfast list for you to check on your own, and put it at the front desk the night before. The room is a bit small. Especially the bathroom, very small. The shower water is very hot and it can't be adjusted well! Arrived at night, plus it was raining again, I didn't find it at first, and then I went around twice and found it according to the navigation and the exterior pictures of the hotel!
