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. Nature enthusiasts will be delighted by the nearby National Trust sites dotted around the area including the magnificent Wray Castle, where history comes alive amidst stunning architecture and picturesque surroundings. When it comes to wining and dining, Quayside Bowness offers a delightful waterfront experience, where visitors can indulge in delicious cuisine while enjoying scenic views of the lake or for those seeking a more traditional pub atmosphere, The Flying Pig Pub is a popular choice, serving up hearty meals and a wide selection of beverages.
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. There’s plenty of wonderful walking in the area; consider planning a hike to Claife Heights Summit, Biskey Howe Viewpoint or Orrest Head and be rewarded with stunning views.
However you choose to spend your holiday time, a break at Bowness Bay Lodge promises to be filled with adventure.

we did have trouble with the front door it would open one day then it would get stuck. so I rang up about it and it was fixed that day so thumb ups for the Lodge and service.

Although it had a clean bin bag, the inside of the lid was dirty as was the plasticâ innerâ. Other than that the lodge was very clean and well presented with comfortable beds and sofas. A nice little touch was having a speaker to connect our phones so we could play our music. The lodge is set back from the road so not much noise from passing cars or pedestrians. Although the lodge backs onto the main road we had no noise issues with the traffic. The pub and play area is a short walk away (again, no issues with noise) and the spar shop is right next to the site which is handy. The lakeside is just a two minute walk away and itâs a five minute walk into Bowness. We enjoyed our stay and hope to stay again in the future.

It was light and well maintained and a great space for us to enjoy the holiday. Sadly though, we probably wont visit again because the bed has a standard spring mattress and was quite uncomfortable. We struggled to get a decent night sleep, which took it's toll. My next comments about cleanliness are intended to be more constructive for improvement rather than critical. The cleaners could do with dusting more frequently. The raised shelf above the sink unit as well as the lobby side table were very dusty and has clearly been missed quite a few times. The kitchen floor was messy and we couldn't vacuum ourselves as the cordless V-tec in the store cupboard didn't have a charger. Most of the towels were makeup stained and could do with either a boil wash or replacement.
