Spent lots of time in Bowness but never stayed in the town. Oakbank is absolutely in the ideal spot in the centre of town.

Just returned from a wonderful stay at Oakbank House. We decided to stop at Oakbank after some family had stopped here in the summer and came home raving about their stay. We were not disappointed! The views from this place are amazing, not only do you have a great view of the lake but also of bowness itself. The location... More

My partner pick out this Bed & Breakfast via the internet. It is a well decorated, comfortable and inviting place. When we arrived we were greeted by a builder working in one of the first floor rooms, as the owner was out on an errand. The builder a very pleasant man, was told to expect us and so provided us...
