About this property

A contemporary town house with lake and mountain views. Situated in Bowness, with its vibrant high street, this property benefits from the village’s many shops, pubs and highly regarded restaurants. With a 3-screen cinema, theatre and many opportunities to try out the range of water sports on offer, there is never a dull moment for guests staying at The Heights.

The property itself is arranged to make the most of its great views. The ground level has the feel of a self-contained apartment with double bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. A neat rear garden leads off from this floor. Up the stairs to the first floor which has two further double bedrooms and a shared bathroom. The main living space can be found on the second floor. An open plan living area has large balcony windows with wonderful views, and an open plan kitchen completes the stylish accommodation.

Outside there is private parking for two cars, a real plus in this busy lakeside village. Whether you choose to relax on the balcony, watch the boats go by, or explore the village and countryside beyond, this is a truly unique property in a lively location.

The vibrant twin towns of Bowness and Windermere hold enduring appeal for visitors to the Lake District National Park, with each providing a range of nearby attractions, amenities, shops and restaurants to suit all tastes. A variety of boat trips and boat hire are available from Windermere Lake Cruises in Bowness to Brockhole, Ambleside and Lakeside (at the southern end of the lake where the Lakeside Aquarium and the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway are situated). The World of Beatrix Potter attraction and the Old Laundry theatre are 1.5 miles away. Orrest Head, where Alfred Wainwright was inspired to write his series of iconic guidebooks, is a 30-minute walk to enjoy the spectacular panorama of far-reaching views over the lake and surrounding fells. Brockhole, which offers high wire tree top experiences, is less than two miles away, and the historic villages of Grasmere, Ambleside and Troutbeck are a short drive away. There are also a variety of watersports on offer for the more energetic at marine centres along the lake. The area is ideally situated for exploring all that this region has to offer, whether by foot, bike, car, railway or bus; and is within easy reach of attractions such as the spectacular Langdales, Beatrix Potter’s Hill Top House at Far Sawrey, Coniston, Grizedale Forest Park, with its delightful walks and famous outdoor sculptures, mountain biking and “Go-Ape” adventure park, Ullswater, Kendal, Keswick, stone circles, Roman forts and England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike.

    Nice having two kitchens to cook the Christmas lunch. Great location in Bowness. If you want the best drink and atmosphere we recommend The Crafty Baa in Windermere. This is our 5th time at The Heights and we will be back.

    Accommodation is over three floors with what is effectively a self contained flat at ground level offering a large bed/sitting area with adjoining bathroom and kitchen. Two large double bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor and an open plan living area and kitchen on the top floor. Easily accommodated us with my wife and I using the ground floor and our son and his family the middle then coming together upstairs to eat and relax. Beautiful views to the front and rear of the property and a perfect base for getting out and exploring this striking area of natural beauty. It's also a great place to come back to after taking on the Cumbrian hills in our walking shoes, warm and cozy with plenty of chill space and a well equipped kitchen (or two) to replenish the body in readiness to do it all again tomorrow.
