"The Bowery is a lovely, comfortable and airy apartment."
One of the best, if not the best, that I have stayed in - and I have stayed in many. It is well equipped with everything that you may need. A handy parking spot in the centre of Ambleside, or, if like me you don't have a car, it's directly opposite the bus interchange. It was really relaxing and peculiarly satisfying sitting watching the buses come and go. It is certainly on my return to list.

"This apartment is ideally situated in Ambleside, central to the rest of the Lake District with bus station on the same road."
The facilities are very good. A very comfortable bed and great shower. Plenty of very good eateries in Ambleside. We loved our stay at The Bowery. Everywhere inside was spotlessly clean. Will definitely want to stay again.

"We love The Bowery and this was our 3rd visit."
However, it is definitely time to renew the scatter cushions on the sofa, as they are totally flat and uncomfortable.
Other than that it is always immaculate, with a comfortable bed.
Very central for buses, we never use the car during our stay.

"Well presented, clean and very central especially for the bus interchange."
Excellent views north with comfy chairs in bedroom. As buses seem to switch off engine as soon as they are parked the noise and pollution is minimal. Easy to walk to lake and good parking behind the shops.

"An excellent accommodation, the owners have supplied all you would expect with an extra few bonuses."
You are based centrally in Ambleside with everything within a short walk. The bus stop is right outside the accommodation and gives you the extra benefit of jumping on and off the bus to visit the local area. This is an added bonus as parking your car in the area is very expensive.
I will definitely recommend the accommodation to my friends .
Thank you for a great holiday.

"We are elderly, and found the shower tray excessively slippery."
Suggest provision of anti-slip mats is absolutely necessary.
Crockery provided was all very large with no smaller plates, bowls or mugs; nor sufficient to enable proper use of dishwasher capacity.
Microwave is old and has no provision for timing other than whole minutes.
We are sure the owners would see the need for various changes if they stayed there for a week themselves.

"The photos need updating, especially for the sitting room."
The right hand springs in the sofa have collapsed, I had to put a cushion under the seat. The parking space is very tight. There’s quite a lot of noise from the very busy bus stops opposite the flat. There was a very unpleasant smell in the downstairs lavatory; i had to spray it numerous times. The flat is very conveniently situated for the town and for visiting the area. The views from the flat are good. A coat rack would be very useful.

"A fantastic base to explore Ambleside and surrounding areas with a car parking space, wifi and decent kitchen."
Facilities are fantastic, the balcony is nice to use and my only minor gripe is no bath (which we knew about when booking) which would make it even more ideal after hikes to have a soak :) and the limited wardrobe space.
Overall, a fantastic stay, great weather and good food/restaurants in the area and this is our second and most likely not our last visit. In addition, it is above Luigis restaurant which has great food and service however you should book - both are recommended.

"A lovely central property in Ambleside."
Very convenient for shops and transport. Even though in centre was pretty quiet. Comfy bed, excellent shower. Reasonably good wifi -dropped out occasionally but able to steam film. Lovely view of fells from bedroom window. Very well equipped kitchen with sharp knives. Would rent again.
Would not be suitable for someone who struggles with steps and stairs as metal staircase up to apartment and apartment on 2 levels.
Only other minor comment, apartment could do with a new sofa as one there was pretty saggy.

"Great property in a great location."
We stayed 4 nights and place was very clean. Best shower ever.
Only problem was there wasn’t a washing machine which means we probably wouldn’t go for longer stay in future as we always have walking clothes that need washing on longer breaks.
Also the bathroom is a great size and a bath would be a real bonus for a soak after a day of walking.
Finally, it is a different couch in property than in photo, now a leather one and not very comfortable for sitting watching TV.
Would I go back, absolutely for a 3 or 4 night stay but no longer due to the reasons above
