About this apartment rental

Marina Boathouse is a unique place to escape and relax. Situated within the prestigious Windermere Marina it overlooks the channel flowing out into the lake as well as the marina itself. You can book direct on oh double seven three double four to for ate o2, apologies for having to be cryptic! Take our champagne bucket out onto the balcony, relax and watch the boats go by, the herons and the cormorants; you might even get to see the otter or kingfisher. Just a 10 minute walk from the bustling lakeside village of Bowness-on-Windermere, it is the perfect place to stay and enjoy all that the Lake District has to offer. Climb a mountain or take a stroll along the shore to Bowness Bay where you can take a cruse on the lake. Everything is here for you to enjoy your holiday in our well equipped apartment, at a pace to suit you. Explore the fells or the quirky and unique local shops. Fish for your supper or try some of our fabulous restaurants. Try out some water sports or hop on the ferry across the lake and visit Beatrix Potter's house at Far Sawrey. If you don't fancy the night life of Bowness the twinkling lights of the marina from the balcony make a beautiful romantic setting.

Make elderly people aware that there are a number of steps to negotiate to enter the apartment and staircase to reach the door of the apartment. Otherwise good facilities and excellent view from balcony. Good location for touring the Lake District.

This property was ideal for the 2 of us. Very clean, comfortable and well equipped. So easy to walk into Bowness , with a good range of shops and eateries and boat trips to other attractions that we had no use for car during our 4 day stay. The Boathouse eatery had good range of food/drinks too.

After a year of staying home it was wonderful to visit the Lakes for a few days. Catherin's apartment has been beautifully remodelled. Spotlessly clean, well equipped and exactly as described on the website. The bedroom and bathroom are best described as "bijou" but perfectly well laid out. The shower was very modern, spacious and provided ample hot water from the electric control. It is wonderfully situated for local walks and amenities with special sunset views. It was warm and welcoming to come back to from cold days out. All in all a very enjoyable stay, our car did not move for the 5 days we were there! Thank you Cathy for letting us share your lovely boathouse.

We had a great stay here. The property was clean and tidy and just as it appears in the listing pictures. The location at the entrance to the Marina means you can just sit on the balcony and watch boats come and go all day. It's within about 15 minutes walk from the boat piers in Bowness and the local public transport system means it's really easy to get about - we used our car just twice during the whole week. If we come back to the Lake District we would definitely consider staying here again.

The apartment was fabulous . Beautifully modernised, very well equipped, spotlessly clean and a stunning location. Superb views over the inlet into the Marina and plenty of wildlife to watch from the lounge or balcony. A ten minute walk from Bowness shops etc yet a quiet and peaceful place to relax. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and this lovely "boathouse" will be our first choice if we visit Bowness in the future. The great weather made our visit "perfect plus".

Our stay here was wonderful. This Boat house is beautifully situated,with a fantastic view of the Marina (Great for Birdwatching). The facilities were great and there were some lovely personal touches. A lot of care and attention goes into the presentation of this place. The only slight issues were the wi-fi ( it was very intermittent) and the shower pressure (you need a good hose down after a long walk). The owner was very professional and helpful. The Boat house is close to the village of Bowness and Windermere so there is plenty to do. We would definitely like to stay again! Thank you.

Beautifully decorated modern boathouse,10 minutes walk from all bars and restaurants. Or 3 pounds in a taxi. The apartment is very high spec throughout. Comfy bed, fresh fluffy towels and more kitchen appliances than we have at home. Fab views through the picture window of the marina. Which also has a nice bar. Lovely place to chill and watch the worl go by. Fab communication from owners. We love Bowness, and will definetly return to the boathouse in the future. Thank you for a very relaxing stay. Wish we were still there :)

The Boathouse was spotlessly clean and is exactly as advertised on the website. 10 minutes walk from Bowness village, lots of bars and restaurants to suit everybody's tastes. Would highly recommend. We will definitely be returning.

What a fantastic getaway! My (pregnant) partner and I were looking for somewhere quiet and relaxing and Bowness did not disappoint. The Marina Boathouse was the perfect place for us. Very clean and modern with everything you would need. The views of the lake and the wildlife around were perfect for relaxing evening (with sunshine most evenings) and a perfect location for exploring. We have travelled a little bit but this break was as good as it gets! Many Thanks

What a fabulous Boathouse. It was perfect. All the fittings and Kitchen were of the best quality. We especially loved the balcony doors. We have a day room in our own house with bi-fold doors that bring the outside in and in the summer months they are open most days. Ideally situated to explore the region. Nice watching all the boats going in and out of the marina.

We both had an amazing short break at the Marina Boathouse, The location was lovely with nice view's of the boats coming and going into the marina. The property itself has a ultra modern, high quality finish with everything you would need for a relaxing short break. Bowness is only a 10 minute walk or a reasonably priced taxi ride away and it has some lovely restaurants. I would definitely recommend this property for a short relaxing break.

We have recently returned from a fantastic stay at the Marina Apartment. The Apartment is immaculate, so modern & clean yet still homely with lovely little touches. The view from the balcony was stunning, we loved relaxing watching the boats come and go. This was our first time staying self catering in the UK and we didn't need to worry about what to take. The Apartment was well equipped with all the essentials (and more) that we required - these were good quality too! There wasn't anything Cathy hadn't thought of. We were celebrating our first wedding anniversary whilst we were there & we were so touched that a box of chocolates and bottle of prosecco was chilling nicely in the fridge waiting our arrival - thank you so much! You can really tell that Cathy takes great pride & excellent care of the Apartment & her guests. We had a fantastic anniversary meal at the Holbeck Ghyll (only £10 each way in a taxi ride) and we were spoilt for choice with all the restaurants / bars in Bowness. There are some lovely walks to do too, getting the lake cruise over to Wray Castle and walking back along the shore line is a must! Thank you so much for a truly wonderful stay and we will definitely be back next year... if not sooner! xx

We booked the apartment for our anniversary and could not be happier with our choice. Cathy the owner is lovely to deal with and very helpful and thoughtful. The apartment is beautiful and extremely well equipped with such attention to detail, there wasn't anything else we could have wished for. The views over the marina the swans that came to say good morning and goodnight, the twinkling lights in the evening, the boats and the coastal walk around the lake it is a wonderful place to stay. We went to relax and had no problem doing so it's a very peaceful place but within easy reach of the fantastic restaurants, bars and shops we only used our car once to go into Kendal. We had a fabulous time and look forward to staying again soon.

Upon the initial enquiries to rent this apartment the owner Cathy was more than willing to help and assist wherever possible. Cathy made the whole process very easy for me. I organised a surprise weekend away for my husbands 40th birthday so was very nervous to make the right decision!! When we arrived it was exactly what we had hoped for. The view from the living area was out of this world and we sat in awe of it for every day we were there!! The scenery around the apartment was stunning and so much wildlife too. We saw Kingfishers on the lake many times but unfortunately not the otter that comes to visit the boathouse, so many times that the owners even set up a 'otter cam' for the guests to see it. The town was easily accessible to walk to and many great eating places and pit stops. We would even walk into Windermere as we found a great café for our breakfast roll 'The Sandwich Chef' John was very lovely and his rolls were out of this world. We ate at a bistro called Roberto's; again, lovely people and food and booked prior to the visit. We did many walks over the 3 days we were there and totally wore ourselves out. We would most definitely recommend this gem of apartment and will definitely be going back again!! Thank you Cathy for making my husbands birthday weekend one to remember and so perfect.

We have recently returned from a stay at the Marina Apartment and really enjoyed it. It has been modernised to a very high standard and is exceptionally clean and tidy. The apartment is about a 10 minute walk from the centre of Bowness, making it just far enough away from the hustle and bustle. Ideal for a couple who likes a bit of peace and quiet. Having the balcony is a real bonus - we actually managed breakfast outside - and in October that is pretty good! The wall to wall glass doors out to the balcony are ideal for watching the boats and wildlife. We walked up into Windermere one day, it would only take about 30-40 minutes from the apartment, however it took us much longer as we browsed the shops and stopped for coffee and cake. Bowness and Windermere have lots of pubs and restaurants for you to enjoy, or if you prefer to eat in, the kitchen at the apartment has everything you would need to prepare a meal. The owners were very easy to deal with. They even left us a little box of chocolates for our arrival.

Modern, clean, comfortable apartment in a interesting location with views of boats entering the Marina and wildlife. Restaurant on-site and many more in Bowness, e.g. Roberto's for tapas. Highly recommended.
