Stayed here for the Early May Bank Holiday as a last minute surprise for the Trouble and Strife and it was a really enjoyable stay. Parking was easy and we were welcomed by Heather who offered us a Tea or Coffee which I thought was a nice touch after our journey. The walk into Bowness is around 10 mins at... More
