A place we have been to lots of times when we were children and with my own children, so it was lovely to go just with adults. Plenty to see and do. Lovely places to eat and have a drink or a coffee. Loved the Christmas shop. Bought some Lakeland vodka and rum also.

The scenery in this area is fantastic.

The scenery in this area is fantastic. If you are a keen photographer you will be spoilt for choices. Not just at Windermere, but the surrounding towns, lakes, and walks. These include Windermere, Kendal / Derwent Water and Rydal, etc. Bowness has a good selection of places to eat and drink during the day and evening. The town also has a good selection of shops which include well known names and brands.

We visited the lake and went on the boat trip.

We visited the lake and went on the boat trip. It is the 3 rd time I have been here but the last visit was 10 years ago, so much has changed and there is now not as much to see on that same boat trip. Such a shame. We ate in a local cafe or rather my husband did. He loved the cafe just off the boat that sold home made massive millionaires shortbread, the highlight of his day hahah this cafe was at the opposite end of the lake from the main side of the lake.

The proximity to get around the lakes, good transfer links by bus and boat to see around the lakes, if you didn’t want to travel by car. The views were amazing. There are many excellent pubs and restaurants with friendly atmosphere.

Bowness is a pretty little village/town on the edge of lake Windermere. The people are kind and happy. There is so much to see and do i go twice a year! It doesn't matter what the weather you can find something/somewhere to entertain yourself. I recommend for families, and couples young or old, but it is hilly so take walking shoes!!

The hotel is in the heart of Bowness-on-Windermere just set back off the Main Street and just seconds away from all the local amenities, pubs, restaurants. Thought it was a really nice touch emailing recommendations of places to eat, drink, visit on our stay. Very helpful if you have never visited the lakes before. Rooms were immaculate and was well worth the money. A little hidden gem. Definitely will be booking again.

We loved everything about our stay at Craig Manor. Staff we're great, room was beautiful, with the most comfortable bed ever! Breakfast was really tasty with plenty of choice. Location was fantastic, situated between Windermere and Bowness on Windermere, just a short walk into both. The views were amazing. We loved every minute and would definitely stay again. Couldn't recommend this hotel enough.
