We stayed over for one night & we are going to stay again, We found Bowness a nice place to stay over & there was plenty to see & do, the boat trips are worth a go. At night time we ate at the "Ship Inn" nice meal & dogs are welcome. The B&B is very clean & well maintained... More

Friendly owners and good value Decided to stay an extra night because the town deserved more time
