Spent a weekend in appartment 43 at Windermere Marina appartments, and it was fantastic. The ladies at checking were friendly, helpful and professional. Appartment 43 was amazing. I would strongly recommend this as a stay for larger families/groups.
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.
Fabulous apartment it had everything we needed in a great location 10 minute lakeside walk to bars and restaurants.Would highly recommend.
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
This apartment had everything we needed. It is in a good location and lovely views across the marina.
Number 6 Windermere Marina Valla is spectacular with beautiful views overlooking the marina -and even a naughty corner for quiet reading:)
As always, the apartments at Windermere Marina Village are all clean, comfortable and well-furnished. Marina View 19 is no exception. My only concern is the undercover car parking area, which has very tight spaces, made difficult by the supporting pillars, to open car doors.
A nice well planned apartment,well equipped with everything you require for a pleasant leasurely stay
Recently refurbished apartment to a high standard, well-equipped and ideally situated on the ground floor which suited us as we had our two dogs and we had good access to parking, waste disposal, the restaurant and the short walk to Bowness via the Lake. Would highly recommend this apartment.
We had a lovely time at Windermere Marina and are looking to book our next stay! Everything was fantastic.
Wonderful stay in 2 townhouses- reception were very helpful with everything. The house were spotless and everything was available, all kitchen utensils, bathroom accessories. Lovely & warm. Super spacious. Dogs receive little welcome pack x Going back next year xx
My wife and I live in a newly build luxury Retirement Apartment so our expectations of the accommodation and facilities were quite high. What we found was an almost identical Apartment which basically replicated what we have at home. Excellent facilities which were spotlessly clean and a credit to the owners. A couple of very small points to note would be that due to it's location you do not get a lot of sun. The parking spot is very good but can be a bit of a problem when trying to get out due to the central support by the entrance (okay with a small car but not so easy with a larger on...more
Yet another excellent break at Windermere Marina Village. Every aspect first class as usual. We are due to return again shortly
As always we spent a great week at Windermere Marina Village. This is our third time staying in apartment 26 which suits our needs perfectly.
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
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.
A very well specified apartment in a great location. Good quality fixtures and fittings and a great view from the balcony.
Only stayed 2 nights but everything was perfect. Very clean and well equipped. A bit too hot on arrival in the apartment but that's just my personal choice. Very peaceful. Lovely meal in the bistro. If I had to find a fault, it would be that there are no longer bike lockers to rent. I have stayed many times before in various apartments and will definitely return.
The staff are very friendly and helpful nothing was too much trouble stayed 2 nights in Apartment 22. Apartment with a spacious outdoor terrace with lovely view of marina. It is so peaceful and tranquil. The apartment is warm and clean and all facilities working well. We have a great time here. Thank you❤️
Positive - Great location with an easy walk into town. Comfortable well equiped accomodation and plenty of space for 6 adults. Negative - No soap provided in bathrooms.
Been visiting WMV for 25 years just wouldn’t go anywhere else in Bowness . It makes me feel like I’m home
once again we had a wonderful stay in this townhouse- so comfortable- even the weather was great- we are in the restaurant and tge foid was exceptional- as was the service
We have holidayed at Windermere Marina for many years even being original Timeshare members before the great flood forced redevelopment. Apartment 18 was presented as always impeccably clean and comfortable. The Marina Restaurant is well worth a visit and provided a lovely supper on our first evening on arrival. Perhaps one or two things should be borne in mind however. Our week this year was very mixed weather with a lot of persistent fog and mist which makes the fells invisible. We also notice that Bowness gets ever more crowded with day visitors. Car parking in Ambleside and Grasmere is p...more
10/10 for staff from beginning to end. Location is just superb. Quiet but within 10 mins you have the business if you want. Great location to catch the ferry. You could easily park the car and forget about it for the duration of your holiday. Local transport is really good. Would highly recommend for sole traveller. Felt safe.
This is a fantastic apartment, with great views across the marina . Very comfortable, clean and equipped for our stay. Dedicated parking right outside the door. Ideally situated for exploring lake Windermere and the lake district. Bowness centre is a short walk less than 10 minutes. The on site restaurant was also very good either for a coffee or full out meal.. We would stay again
All round there are no complaints, and from experience with ‘other’ holiday accommodation, you are ‘5 Star’. Just a couple of points. One is a negative and the second…..may be. As you know we were staying in 46, which is assisted’ accommodation. This was mostly fine, but the toilet in assisted living bathroom is difficult to use. You only provide a ‘right hand’ assist bar, nothing on the left side to help raising/lowering the body. This is a difficult function for anyone with left side strength, but very weak right side(due vertebrae problems). It would be most helpful to have an assist bar...more
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!
Excellent apartment in great location. Spacious and very nice balcony overlooking all the boats in the Marina.
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.
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.
We really enjoyed our stay in this apartment, the staff in reception were lovely and helpful, a shame we stayed when storm Amy arrived. although lovely and cosy inside, it meant looking for something to do inside
Lovely stay at Windward 21. The couch could do with being a bit more comfortable, I'm guessing it's not brilliant because it's a sort of sofa bed. The apartment is otherwise very well appointed and well positioned in the marina. I would stay there again.
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
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.
We have stayed in several Marina apartments over many years and have always been100 percent satisfied with everything. This time we had an issue with the heavy wooden bed frame . I got a nasty abrasion on my shin and my wife a bruised calf as we passed the bottom of the bed. The frame was hidden by the duvet. .
The apartment was very spacious and clean. There was even a small room with a washing machine. The view of the marina from the huge open plan living space was beautiful, with windows that opened most of the way out. It was a lovely evening when we arrived so we were able to open them right up and sit on the bar stools having a drink looking out. There was a slight wind so we were appreciating not being sat on a balcony. A short walk to the lake and into Bowness where there were lots of places to eat, drink and shop, although our favourite place to eat was onsite at the Marina View Bar & Re...more
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.
