Bowness is an eclectic mix for all tourists having gentle strolls to the lake in 10 minutes, small hikes from the door up Brantfell and School Knott and a variety of restaurants from Henrock by Simon Rogan, Gilpin Spice and the family-run Brown Horse at Winster just a 10-minute drive away. Osprey has the added benefit of a private parking space making it a perfect location to explore by car or foot.

Such a gorgeous stay at this beautiful apartment! It had everything you would need and then some!! You only need to walk to the end of the street to see a view of Lake Windermere in the distance! Cannot recommend this place enough, and we will definitely be coming back to stay again!!! Really lovely bars and restaurants nearby - Base Pizza is a must!!

Beautiful apartment and very comfortable. Great location with only a short walk to restaurants, bars and Bowness pier. Lovely welcome bottle of prosecco to start our honeymoon with. Would definitely recommend and wouldn't hesitate to return.

This is probably the nicest Airbnb apartment we've stayed in. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable and welcoming. The location is excellent, so close to the main shops, restaurants and the lake but on a quiet street. It was great to have the parking space for the car. The instructions on how to find the apartment and gain access were clear and helpful. The apartment is spacious, well stocked with all the essentials you'll need. I can't recommend this place enough and hope to be back again. Thank you!

We had a lovely stay, the hosts were very helpful and we're grateful for such a beautifully presented flat! We highly recommend a trip over to Muncaster Castle - it's an hour drive but well with it. beautiful gardens, very fun weapons hall (we did archery & ase throwing) and an incredible "Sky Hunters" bird show. P.S The pizza at BASE is phenomenal.

My partner and I had a wonderful stay in Bowness. The hosts were responsive and very helpful. There’s a great guest book full of recommendations and a very helpful guide folder from the hosts also. The location is tremendous, apartment was immaculate and it was a steal.

Absolutely loved our stay, Osprey is located in the perfect place to go for lovely hikes, and to enjoy the town of Bowness too. The flat itself was made welcoming and cosy. It had everything we needed and we couldn’t recommend any more. Will be staying here on our next trip up to the lakes!

Great place to stay in Bowness - good location, with a bus stop only 2 minutes walk away, making it a great base for exploring the Lake District. The flat is comfy and stylish with everything you need - it even had some board games! Highly recommended.
Aleksandra
On Monday, 08 Apr 2024
This was our first time in the Lake District and we were very happy to have stayed at Michelle’s place for it! The flat is stunning and cosy at the same time, with great aesthetic and amenities that make total sense. The parking space was handy and large enough for a compact SUV. The location is great, within walkable distance to both Bowness and Windermere which were our two favourite local towns. We loved the little handbook filled with local recommendations! Overall, very accurately described on AirBnB and a fantastic place to stay during your time in the area. 10/10 recommended!!!

This is our 5th or 6th time at the Osprey & not the last. The apartment has everything you need, it's close to all amenities & parking also. Most of all it's a beautiful place to stay. Loving the new touches in the apartment, it is a lovely home. The weekend went far too quickly but a great time had......until next time.

Thanks for a great stay. We would recommend the foot passenger ferry for £1 from Cockshott Point to Claife Hights & Beatriz Potter attractions. Low Wood Bay Spa was worth the money.

Excellent well looked after property. Few minutes downhill walk into Bowness. Ten to fifteen minutes walk to Windermere. Worth the few minutes walk from Bowness to Windermere Jetty museum to sit more quietly by the lake. Also from centre of Windermere the walk down Birthwaite road to a quieter waterfront. Great coffee and brunch at Homeground coffee. Also don’t forget a great coffee at The Rookery next to Booths

Fabulous flat to stay in. Near all the amenities but quiet location. The flat is exactly as the photos but the quality of the kitchen, bathroom etc was outstanding. Michelle also had a nice wee bottle of bubbly awaiting us on arrival and all the essentials such as tea bags, sugar, coffee, pods, and dishwasher tablets were there as standard. It was such a lovely holiday and made extra special by this lovely accommodation. The easy check in made life. Very easy and a nice start to our holiday. We arrived, unpacked and got on with our adventure. Would highly recommend Michelle place and will definitely book again.

A lovely apartment and perfect base for exploring The Lake. We have so much more to see here. Loved the free parking for dragging muddy hiking stuff up and the hall to hide it all away.
Kellie & Michael
On Saturday, 01 Jul 2023
We have had such a wonderful weekend in Bowness. The apartment is a home from home and somewhere we will certainly visit again! We enjoyed a gorgeous walk up to Orrest Head and down to Ambleside. We walked up to the waterfalls then enjoyed some lunch, returning back to Bowness via steamboat. The Magic Roundabout in Bowness is lovely for food and gorgeous cocktails. Urban Food House, lovely for breakfast. However, you cant go wrong, we have not been disappointed in anyway since arriving. Lovely village, stunning views, friendly people, perfect apartment. Thank you, so much for sharing Karen + Paul. To everyone reading this, we hope you have a fabulous time! Kellie & Michael.

What's not to love! Location, parking, amenities, such a beautiful apartment. We are regular visitors to the area & over time found that we preferred the freedom an apartment gives. This apartment has everything, thank you Karen + Paul, you do have a gorgeous place, stunning. House of Siam - Fantastic Thai food Mela - best curry house Hole in't Wall - great pub, staff & a proper pint. Want to go out & about, jump on the 599 bus & get a day rider. You can visit Grasmere, Ambleside + Keswick, using this ticket all day. Plus the bus stop is on the main road at the end of the street. Thank you, S+G

Michelle was extremely friendly and helpful from the get go. The place was perfect for a little get away, warm and homely. Just a 5 minute walk into Bowness for some food and drinks and a 15 minute drive to get into Ambleside the location is perfect for all types of stays. 10 out of 10 would Recommend and will hopefully be staying again.

We have had a lovely week's stay in this beautiful apartment! We both work high pressure jobs in the city, and this trip was the breath of fresh air we needed. If you travel to Ambleside, be sure to walk up to Stock Gyll Waterfalls - stunning. Other hidden gems are surprise view and Easedale Tarn. Thank you for being the perfect base for our adventures!

Faultless! The apartment was very easy to find and has its own reserved parking space. Access via a key safe was simple. Inside, everything was spotless and there’s all you’ll need for a short stay. Comfortable bed and sofa and there’s a modern TV with all the up to date apps (Netflix, Prime etc). Very short (5 minute) walk to the shops/restaurants and a couple of minutes further to Lake Windermere. Highly recommended.

I have had a wonderful week here! The flat is well presented and is very close to the lake and bus stops. Strongly recommend Sam's cafe restaurant I have had their Pad Thai and Thai milk tea there. For nearby attractions I would recommend Rydal Cave, Grasmere and Keswick they are all easy to get to by bus 555 or 599.Rydal Cave, nice hiking route, wonderful view of Rydal Water.Grasmere, Dove Cottage is worth visiting and gingerbread there is really nice. There are also plenty of shops.Keswick, Derwent Pencil Museum is very interesting. Derwent Water is one of the most beautiful lakes I have ever seen. Spending a whole afternoon on that lake would be nice.Very pleasing stay here and I would definitely come back again.

We had a wonderful 5 day stay at Windermere and Bowness enhanced by the superb studio apartment 'Osprey'. The accommodation was exactly as advertised and the fixtures and fittings, the detail and the standard of finish is absolutely first class. If you want a quality place to stay in an ideal location, this is it.

We really enjoyed our stay at Osprey - a beautiful place with excellent facilities. Excellent quiet location and within walking distance to the train station, shops, restaurants and the Lake. We highly recommend the Boardwalk Bar and Grill for both food and drinks, Choccobar for their beautiful hot chocolate, and Windermere Canoe and Kayak for brilliant (and affordable) watersport activities. We wouldn't hesitate to stay at Osprey again in the future, and we've recommended it to friends and family!
Thomas Mathew
On Friday, 17 Jun 2022
Osprey is a lovely flat, extremely well appointed and beautifully decorated. It had everything we wanted and its location is perfect for both walking into Bowness and to Windermere. We used the open-top bus to get around and there are stops only one block from the flat. There are numerous places to eat in the local area and we can especially recommend 'Hooked' on Ellerthwaite Square, Windermere, if you are a seafood lover. We were blessed with some really fine weather so our mini-break staying in Osprey turned out to be a blissful holiday for us.
