All agreed it was a fantastic choice for our Bookclub trip from Derbyshire. The Apartment was well appointed extremely comfortable for 8 Ladies to celebrate our Anniversary. Bowness is only 20 mins walk For a lovely day out on the Lake and the Chain ferry close by for Near Sawrey. We ate out in the day and enjoyed the apartment in the evening’s watching lots of films and snacking . Lots of space to spread out and quiet comfortable places to read. The view of the Marina is beautiful.
Beautiful apartment in lovely location. It was a home from home. Everything you would need provided even a welcome pack of milk, tea bags, coffee sachets and sugar sachets ro get you started. Overall it felt very luxurious and we will definitely look forward to returning at some point.
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Windermere Marina Village. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the warm welcome, the stunning views, and great atmosphere. The accommodation was spotless, stylishly decorated, and incredibly comfortable – everything we needed for a memorable getaway. The location couldn’t be better. Tucked right on the edge of the marina, it offered beautiful waterside views and easy access to the lake and nearby walks. We loved waking up to the stunning surroundings and spending the evenings watching all the incredible MasterCraft boats come in and out . ...more
We stayed in apartment 45, there were 7 of us, everything was clean, and to a very high standard. I couldn’t fault it, would defo there again.
We have just returned from a 7 day autumn break at 12 Marina View and have been very impressed with this apartment. Five of us stayed and we were very comfortable in this beautifully decorated place.The bedrooms are relaxing with very comfortable beds. The three bathrooms were a real bonus, too. The kitchen appliances are easy to use and of very high quality. We had family fun playing the large selection of board games provided. The walk into town is very pleasant - two main routes: footpaths that lead directly to centre of Bowness and a lovely path, alongside the lake, that takes you to som...more
We have stayed at the village several times over the years and expect high standards. The apartment this year was easily the best. The quality of the furniture and fittings was first class. We have stayed in self catering apartments all over the uk and this apartment was, by far, the best equipped. More than enough crockery, cutlery, glasses etc and every possible utensil you might require. We had a couple minor issues understanding the fixtures and fittings and the response from the maintenance staff was extremely efficient and friendly. All in all the level of service which brings us bac...more
We loved everything about 6 Marina View. The beds were super comfy and all the fixtures and fittings were first class. No problems at all and we will go again.
Fabulous place luxury throughout..ample space for 8 adults to not feel crowded, all high spec kitchen appliances that make entertaining easy .equipped with everything you need.
Arrived into reception area to be greeted by friendly & knowledgeable staff. We have frequently stayed in this area and previously used this apartment. Great view of the Marina and an easy walk along the lake into Bowness where you are met with an array of local shops, bars & restaurants. Marina View Restaurant on site was good value however a little disappointed that on booking and turning up on Sunday at 6.30 they had sold out of Sunday roasts Highly recommend the location and appartments
Accommodation - Excellent as always, Perfect location, staff are very helpful, Exceptional . 5 stars
Beautiful apartment, very comfortable, great views, well-located to walk into Bowness. Lovely restaurant within marina village. Glad to recommend.
Stayed in one of these newer additions to WMV and was very happy with our stay. Great apartment with good views. Very comfortable.
Yet another excellent break at Windermere Marina Village. Every aspect first class as usual. We are due to return again shortly
We really like this apartment, very spacious, ground floor and dog friendly. Came to escape the fireworks and we didn’t hear a single one - perfect for our Westie who gets very frightened. Super clean and well equipped, king sized bed and ample wardrobe space. A very comfortable place to stay for our five night break. We will return!
Our 7th time at Windward Apartment 17 and perfect as usual. Very spacious, well equipped and spotless upon arrival. The apartment lacks for nothing and has great views over the Marina. It has a perfect south-facing balcony should the sun shine. Full marks too to the Marina's accommodation staff for their care and attention. The Marina itself is just a lovely place to be whether boating or not. Very good bar and restaurant on site, Marina View, which provides great hospitality and lovely food with very attentive and efficient staff. The restaurant has recently been upgraded and is very...more
We've stayed at Marina Village a couple of times. Honestly can't fault it. Excellent place. Nice bar/restaurant on site. Will definitely book again.
Overall a lovely place, setting etc however if you are booking needing accessibility it isn't ideal. The only accessibility in the apartment is the wet room shower area, the toilet is standard level. Also, if you are requiring furniture that is raised ie room and kitchen seating and also a higher bed for people with issues getting up and down then it isn't the place for you.
Very impressed with the facilities available and the cleanliness. The apartment is built and decorated to a very high standard. The queen sized bed was very comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped. The only negative was that it was too hot and the instructions say not to alter the thermostat. We turned the radiator valves down but it was still too warm.
We stayed in 8 Marina View for the first time and the apartment was immaculate. The owners have impeccable taste and have kitted out the property to the highest standard. I had read comments from other guests to say that the decor was not quite to their taste but we thought that it could not be any better. All of the mod cons and the spec was 1st class. Will definitely be returning at some point in the future - hats off to the owners for creating such a wonderful (and unique) space.
It was such a pleasure to stay in this beautiful apartment…… we particularly enjoyed the outside area watching the boating world go by !
This is our second time here and it remains one of my favourite places to stay. The price is a tad high but it is so lovely that I'm prepared to pay it. The village is calm and relaxed, despite being near busy Bowness. The accommodation is top quality and the staff (apart from one instance) are friendly and professional. Highly recommended.
Great place, this is our 3rd time staying in this townhouse. Very clean and very well equipped. The mattress in the downstairs bedroom is a bit too firm though.
Very helpful staff, lovely furnished apartment which was very clean and welcoming. The welcome box for my dog went down a treat nice little touch! Quiet beautiful area with a short walk to the hustle and bustle of bowness.
The apartment exceeded our expectations. The apartment was spotless and had everything we needed. We would definitely return.
Ideal location, peaceful and just wonderful. Easy check in.. lovely touch of a doggy welcome pack for our pooch. The apartment furnished to a high standard, beds comfy, lovely and cosy Everything you need for a relaxing break, with maybe the exception of some throws for the colder evenings when sitting on the veranda and maybe basic condiments like salt and pepper. Already planning our next visit for a special birthday next year A real bonus is the parking . 10 min walk into Bowness Already planning
Great Location! Windermere Marina offer fabulous family accommodations to suit everyone’s needs and they are all within easy walking distance of Bowness, the ferry port and Windermere boat tours. Whether you fancy a relaxing week away, adventurous walks or days out on the Lake, Windermere Marina can accommodate you!!
Such a lovely apartment in a block of 7. No noise internally at all even though each apartment was occupied (it was the Scottish schools half term) and a beautiful balcony with a great view. Home from home and very clean. A wonderful 5 day break. I had a meal at the Marina View which was lovely and the staff so kind and attentive. Really relaxed and enjoyed every minute thank you!
Or stay was up to the usual high standard of comfort and cleanliness in our favourite part of the UK.
We stayed for a family birthday and the house was ideal for 3 couples plus a dog. Clean and spacious with everything we could need for a 2-night stay, and a fantastic location. The kitchen was very well equipped. One issue we did have was that the property was really overheated - even after turning off the radiators and opening windows, some rooms were boiling overnight, which made it uncomfortable to sleep. Note that there is very limited headroom in one of the bedrooms due to the sloping ceiling, which makes it awkward to move around and get in and out of bed. This was tolerable for ...more
This marina is centrally located for Bowness and Lakeside bus services within the Lakes. The accommodation is quality. This is our 3rd visit / review and each time is lovely. The feel of the Marina is relaxed. There is a restaurant. The apartments look in to the Marina. I sat on the balcony the other day to watch a Kingfisher land briefly on a motorboat. Following morning an otter going about it's business as dew steamed off the motorboats and steam off the water as the sun came up. Call and ask for Joanne. Try once and fall in love with the place like we have. Beatrix Potter donated land bet...more
We are regular visitors to Windermere Marina Apartments and are never disappointed. This time however we had booked apartment 35. On arrival we noticed that the apartment was “tired’ and needed maintenance. We complained to the staff and were immediately offered apartment 33 as an alternative. This was a lovely apartment. Well maintained and cosy. We can’t fault the staff for the professional way they dealt with the problem and made us feel comfortable.
Wonderful stay at this beautiful peaceful apartment. The view, even though raining most of the time, was stunning. Day or night it was relaxing watching the boats bobbing about and people taking their boats out. The apartment was beautifully set out, everything provided was top quality, the pillows were to die for. Cannot recommend this place high enough.
This is a lovely modern apartment, I would say that our dog was fine not having any outdoor space to do the necessary but she is well trained and waits until we take her outside but it would not work for everyone. The only things to pick up on and they are only minor, would be nice to have something to put your feet up onto in the lounge like a foot stool for example and I found the bed in the main bedroom a little hard. There is a little mould starting to come round the shower on the en-suite and it would be a shame to leave that to get any worse as everywhere is so nicely kept thats some...more
The location, secure parking and accommodation was very good. The services provided within the apartment as a self catering alternative was high and comprehensive. The cost for two nights was comparable with that of a 4 star hotel. The only minor comments was that the allocated car parking space was not outside the apartment, the internet dropped out frequently and the lounge sofa was not very comfortable. The weather was warm though wet during our stay so a cover to the outside terrace would have been great so that this space could be used to experience the boats in the marina.
We have stayed in this apartment a number of times now. The location is great, just a short walk from the ferry and Bowness with plenty of walks from the doorstep. The apartment is also dog friendly.
Loved the spaciousness of the house. All amenities available and to hand. Lots of room Perfect for groups and dogs Spotless Staff helpful throughout Thankyou will be back next year
An amazing apartment very comfortable. But there was a couple of issues. One issue was a it was a ground floor apartment the water from the apartment above the water was very loud when travel down the pipes. Another issues was the microwave was unable to be used as was unable to be opened
This is a lovely apartment for a couple, dog friendly. We have stayed here a few times and it's well located. Comfortable with everything you need and a lovely balcony overlooking the marina. The Reception team are always super friendly an welcoming. The cleaning supervisor was very abrupt with us on Sunday morning which, as a very regular customer, I did not appreciate - so make sure you're out by 10am on the dot or you'll feel her wrath!
Lovely property. Very well equipped. Great views of the marina. Very convenient for Bowness and exploring the Lake District. As a smart home, instructions for lights, heating etc would have been handy. Could tell it was dog friendly (as non dog owners) Some dog hair and musty smell on entering.
Stunning accommodation lovely, location really peaceful with amenities so close lots of lovely walks, we had the best weather sunshine in the Autumn, if thinking of going and can’t decide go for it totally recommend
Booked the Bowness 2 for 4 of us and it was lovely. Not on the main marina row, but still such a lovely cottage. Upside down layout so you can benefit from the view to an older, smaller marina. The cottages are a little tired now, but that is reflected in the price (still very clean). Lots of utensils for 6 people and there is a bed that drops down in the lounge if you need the extra space. I would absolutely stay here again and the staff were amazing! Next time we would definitely move over to the marina side for the better view. Thank you for such a lovely stay.
A pleasant place to stay and very comfortable. Well equipped kitchen if you like cooking whilst on holiday. Useful to have a washing machine, especially when coming in from a Muddy walk.
Original booking very dark. New booking much better, but we did not really need a 3-bed building. Impressive, but 2 major disadvantages- north facing with no sun and very small balcony
We had another short but enjoyable stay at WMV. Booking and arrival was efficient and friendly. The Cottage was very clean and well equipped as always and location is good with Bowness in walking distance. I would however comment that Ambleside 4 cottage is showing it's age and would benefit from a general upgrade in particular dining room/ lounge furniture and some attention to bathroom eg tiling/ grouting. This did not greatly detract from our stay but the issues were noticeable and whilst we would return, perhaps not to this property.
