Our annual trip to the Lake District is enhanced by the friendly welcome, the excellent meals and accessible but quiet location of this hotel in Bowness. There is a wide variety of rooms to suit everybody - chalet style for families to more intimate rooms for couples. The staff have always been very willing to accommodate personal preferences ( I... more

We stayed at this hotel recently and were very unimpressed by pretty much everything. Where to start! First off the staff were very unhelpfull, and didnt give a welcoming feel to us as guests. The hotel, is actually a bunch of outbuildings and not all contained in the one building, which makes it more of a motel than a proper... more

I stayed at the hotel for four days: I had a bedroom overlooking the garden; it was very quiet. the food in the hotel is of a very high standard and the stay was very enjoyable. Its only a short walk to Bowness and the lake. The hotel advertises wireless internet but this did not seem to be available: that... more

We stayed in this hotel a couple of years ago and returned only because of its location - a short walk into Bowness - a lovely town. Hotel also has a free car park. We were reluctant to return because of the disappointment we experienced on our first visit - the room was small with nothing special about it at... more

We chose to stay in the Burn How as a last minute break during the holidays. The room was quite expensive for a four night stay, however, it was worth it as the location of the hotel is brilliant - set just behind the Belsfield Hotel, close enough to the 'main' part of Bowness of restaurants and bars, but far... more

This was a last minute booking so we took a chance and booked without doing our usual research and we were pleasantly surprised. Our initial phone call was answered by a very friendly welcoming lady that remembered us when we arrived and even showed us to our room. The hotel is unusual in that it has accommodation blocks on site... more

Having stayed here a number of years ago we returned for a one night break and were not disappointed. Our very spacious room was set upstairs in a seperate block with patio doors opening onto a small balcony with uninterupted views over the adjacent hills. The staff are very friendly and attentive (without being intrusive). We ate in and have... more

This was the first time I had stayed at this hotel. After checking in I was taken to my bedroom ,which are separate from the main hotel ,but umbrellas are provided. The advantage of this is that you can park your car outside the bedroom. They have open corridors which are slightly off putting but when you enter the room... more
