  • "Absolutely fabulous stay at the Tipsy Bee."

    The owners have thought of everything and it really is a home from home. The decor is beautiful, beds super comfortable, towels/bedlinen crisp, finished to a very high standard and all modern appliances. We had our 10month baby with us and managed to fit a travel cot in the top floor bedroom. The living room was so cosy and we spent the evenings with the fire on playing board games. The only negative I will comment on is the check in and check out time; I do think this should be reconsidered. As a family of 6 travelling 2 hours to the lakes, we wanted to make the most of the days we had there so arrived for 11 and had to wait until 4pm to check in. This meant we had to pay for parking and leave our cars with our bags on show for 5 hours which was not ideal. The same for check out, 10am is very early compared to hotels and many other rentals/ bnbs I have stayed at. I would definitely recommend this place to anybody wanting to visit the lakes as a group!

  • "Absolutely loved the Tipsy Bee."

    The decor was unreal. As soon as we stepped foot inside I wanted to contact the owners to say thank you. We were blown away. Loved all the rooms. Had a great stay. The beds were really comfortable and the living room was fab. Had everything we needed. Such a lovely place and a great location. Note to owners: The kitchen light was temperamental. Wouldn’t always work. Maybe a loose wire? I reported it to Lakelovers so hopefully this is now sorted. This didn’t affect our stay

    Dear Helen , thank you so much for your feedback. I am so pleased you love Tipsy Bee as much as we do . Thank you for your note re the light , we hadn't heard anything until this review, so we have now reached out ! Shelley & Carl Property Owner

The property

Tipsy Bee, a mid-terrace cottage situated in a private, quiet courtyard within walking distance of Bowness-on-Windermere, Cumbria.

Sporting a reverse-level layout with stylish furnishings, whilst being with walking distance of local amenities and Lake Windermere, Tipsy Bee, this attractive townhouse appeals to families and couples looking to enjoy the picturesque Lake District.

Kick-off your shoes and enter your new home-from-home, ready for a memorable break in the Lakes.

On the ground-floor, two bedrooms await; a super-king-size (zip/link) and a double, both of which are finished in a boutique style served by a shower room.

Venture up to the first floor and be welcomed to the hub of the home, the contemporary living/dining room; complete with herringbone flooring, a feature electric fire spanning across the wall, a wall-mounted Smart TV and two plush sofas, this is a lovely space to ease into the evening.

Step into the well-appointed kitchen/diner and cook up some delicious treats, ready to savour over a bottle of wine at the dining table with loved ones.

The master bedroom lies across the hall, housing a king-size bed and a lavish en-suite shower room in a white and black over-tone.

Bowness is an excellent holiday destination; history enthusiasts can immerse themselves in the grandeur of National Trust - Wray Castle or wander through the charming National Trust - Hill Top, once the beloved home of Beatrix Potter.

After a day of exploration, visitors can indulge in delectable cuisine at Quayside Bowness, a restaurant and bar that offers a delightful dining experience with stunning views of the waterfront.

For a quick and satisfying bite, Vinegar Jones’ Fish and Chips serves up one of the best fish suppers in the region!

Just a mile away is Windermere, the largest natural lake in England and a dream destination for any lover of the great outdoors; here you can take a boat trip on its peaceful waters to admire the stunning views, or explore the area by foot and appreciate its natural beauty.

If you're looking for a more urban experience, the shops, cafes and restaurants of Ambleside are just a short drive away, plus there are a network of walking routes leading to some of the region's most famous peaks, including the iconic Fairfield Horseshoe and the renowned Wansfell Pike.

The Lake District offers a plethora of activities to choose from, all from the comfort of Tipsy Bee.
