  • "It was a lovely lodge very well furnished."

    A few more mugs would have been helpful but we managed. Perfect setting and ideal for all amenities. We have been to Fallbarrow many times but this was by far one of the nicest lodges

    Dear Elaine. We are so pleased you had a lovely time at our lodge. We are a little confused regarding your comment regarding the lack of mugs. The lodge is a 4 berth and we have at least 8 mugs and also the same number of cups and saucers. We were in the lodge only a week or so ago and stock was good. Providing any more mugs would only take up more space for guests to put their food etc. If you are saying there was less than 4 available please let us know and we will speak to the cleaners.

  • "Bowness Bay lodge is situated on Fallbarrow Park on the edge of Lake Windermere."

    It is within walking distance of Bowness, close to shops, supermarkets and cafes/pubs. The lodge was very clean, spacious and comfortable with parking for your car at the front of the lodge. We had a really enjoyable, relaxing stay here.

  • "When we turned up there was 2 loaves of mouldy bread in the cupboard, dirty glasses and bowls."

    There was also limited toilet roll available with one bathroom having no soap. The accommodation was nice and good location for Bowness but was loud at night due to backing on a petrol garage with a lot of cars revving their engines. Cleanliness wasn’t great on arrival due to the mouldy food and dirty dishes but overall a nice stay

    Great deck area with plenty of comfy seating for making the most of the lovely weather we had. Would definitely book again.

  • "Bowness Bay lodge is our go-to choice whenever we visit Fallbarrow Park."

    Having stayed here 3 or 4 times, we always find it exceptionally clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, this latest stay we had a couple of issues with the en-suite: the shower ran cold intermittently and there was an unpleasant smell. We won’t let this stop us from returning later this year as we’re sure these minor issues will be swiftly addressed.

    Thank you for your great feedback . We always strive to make sure people have a good time . As for the en suite shower the issue has been addressed . Property Owner

  • "The lodge was amazing."

    It was spotlessly clean and had every amenity such as the hoover, washing machine, TV in both bedrooms etc. All the rooms were a decent size so you felt like you weren’t on top of each other. The single beds were really generous in size and my children said they were so comfy. The location of the lodge is private and the lovely furniture on the decking added that extra comfort for sitting outside on the warm nights. It was a 5 minute walk into Bowness or a 10 minute drive to Ambleside. I am already looking for availability to book this lodge again and can’t wait to return.

    Everything was clean and tidy and the sofa and bed were comfortable. We had no issues with noise - either from the on-site pub which is a couple of minutes walk away, or from the main road that the lodge backs onto. We had a relaxing stay and the lodge is on our list of favourite lodges.

    Easy check in and out. We are fussy and could not fault this accommodation. We would definitely stay here again. Few minutes walk in to Bowness. The lodge had everything you need to cook, clean etc. The bar/restaurant on site was also lovely. Nothing any of us could say that would make it better.

  • "The first thing we had to do on arrival was clean the kitchen bin."

    Although it had a clean bin bag, the inside of the lid was dirty as was the plastic’ inner’. 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 it’s a five minute walk into Bowness. We enjoyed our stay and hope to stay again in the future.

    Thank you for your feedback, it is important to us, and we will ensure it is passed onto Housekeeping. We are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay and also hope to see you again at the Lodge. With kind regards Bowness Bay Lodge Owners Property Owner

  • "On the whole, a really great lodge and would love to visit again."

    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.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We are glad to hear that you had a lovely stay at Bowness Bay. We do find that mattresses are down to personal preference. The charger for the vacuum is now available and the towels/ kitchen floor comments have been passed onto the Property Services Team to ensure that our high standards continue to be met. Thank you. Kind regards Bowness Bay Lodge Owners Property Owner
