I absolutely loved this beautiful studio! It's the perfect size for 1 or 2. Everything is designed and decorated to a lovely standard with spacious and comfortable bed and sofa and well appointed bathroom and kitchen - just bear in mind there is no freezer which I found out the hard way when I bought ice cream with me! The location is excellent - lRead moreovely views over Bowness and you can just see Windermere and it's an easy walk to both Bowness and Windermere towns. Compared to other places available the value for money was great I thought! Hide
