Spent a weekend in apartment 43, 6 adults and 4 children, and it was amazing. The apartment is the ultimate in luxury, comfort and space. Sitting on the veranda looking at the stars in the evening and walking into Bowness-on-Windermere the following day. So many activities, shopping experiences and gorgeous places to eat. Great value for money and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a nice break in the Lake District.
Brilliant stay for my partners birthday. Dog friendly - little wet and drizzly weather (dogs were in their element) but the weather never made a difference to our stay. We loved it! Raining or not. The apartment was beautiful, lovely and warm, clean and the views from the balcony were out of this world. Highly recommend
As a family of 5 plus 2 dogs , it can sometimes be a struggle to find a place to stay within our budget., however the windermere marina ticks all boxes. * Cleanliness outstanding * Views amazing * Within 10 minutes walk to Bowness and all it's amenities * A good base for walking * Really handy for the ferry - on foot or by car * Restaurant and bar on site ( a little pricey, but isn't everywhere ) serving good food.. * Apartment provided everything you needed if you wanted to dine in ... kitchen was extremely well stocked with pans, crockery etc * Wonderful comfortable beds and plent...more

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
Marked and areas previously touched up can be seen to the ceiling, small marks and stains to floor coverings, rugs, chipped floor tiles in main bedroom ensuite, worn decoration, would be good to offer a cleaning service and replacement of towels etc for an additional cost.
Superbly equipped, bedrooms and ensuite absolutely excellent. Living area expansive with tasteful decor. Reception staff exceptionally helpful
Apartment was absolutely spotless again, cleanliness is second to none always. Very warm cosy and spacious. The apartment is dog friendly and I was given a welcome pack for Bert and tea, coffee etc for myself which is a really lovely gesture, thanks. Staff always on hand to help if needed and nothing ever too much trouble. They are warm and very welcoming. Views from the apartment are stunning and very pretty in the evening. The grounds are so well kept and a lovely place to walk round. This place is a gem and credit to all involved. See you next time.
Apartment was warm and comfortable. Had everything that you need. Lovely view over the marina. Looking forward to my next trip.
As always enjoyed our stay great place to stop ideal for walking into Bowness and to have a restaurant to be able to enjoy
Great location and view of the marina. Lovely short walk into Bowness. Very dog friendly. Staff very friendly and helpful.
Been staying at the Marina for the last ten years! The accomodation is of a high standard and the customer service is always excellent! The location is also perfect for walking and relaxing!
Third visit to this apt. Excellent place with all facilities and DOG friendly. View over Marina and 100 mts to bar and restaurant and only 20 min walk into town.
The apartment was spacious, clean with everything we needed. Staff were helpful. A couple of minor issues were addressed and resolved immediately with no fuss. Would recommend.
Once again the Apartment was spotless. There's everything you need for your stay. For the two of us it was more than adequate, spacious enough. The reception staff are always very friendly and helpful.
Together with my husband we had a 3 night stay in the apartment with my elderly mother The apartment has amazing views and was spotless. The lift is a big help being on thr third floor with an elderly relative. The apartment is very spacious particularly the rear bedroom but I was surprised with the size of the bed in the main ensuite bedroom. It must have been a double not a king size and definitely not becoming of the main bedroom. There was easily room for a larger bed but for some reason the bed was small. The view was amazing from the bedroom window so this was the only disappointing ...more
We love staying in the Marina. Warm welcoming staff and you get everything you need. This was our second time at this property and definitely the best. We'd stay here again in a heart beat.
It was such a pleasure to stay in this beautiful apartment…… we particularly enjoyed the outside area watching the boating world go by !
A very modern and beautifully decorated apartment which sleeps 4 people very comfortably. As a top floor apartment, it gives you fantastic views across the marina. It has all the mod cons - though top oven /microwave did not work nor did the Dyson vacuum cleaner. Plenty of cupboard space and a lovely balcony (though we did not use this as it was January). If you plan to self cater, you need to take cooking oil, cling film, tin foil, salt & pepper, etc . Great location for wandering into Bowness-on-Windermere, lots of amazing restaurants in the area and many great walks. We thoroughly enjoy...more
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.
Well equipped , I think the only problem was no shampoo / conditioner/ body lotion. I would have expected this in an apartment of this standard.
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.
We had a fantastic stay at Apartment 48. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by the Village staff who were very informative and went through all the information on the apartment, the marina and the surrounding area and activities on offer. The apartment was fully equipped with high end goods and had everything required for a wonderful stay. The view of the marina with the Christmas decorations were a fantastic touch and made us feel so at home. New Year’s Eve party at the Marina View was the icing on the cake. Brilliant food, drink and entertainment. Highly recommend the marina stay and lo...more
Very peaceful stay with the family. Lovely accommodation, very roomy and decorated beautifully. Will stay here again!
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!
Stayed here a few times over the years and love the location. First time staying in this apartment. A Christmas tree would have been a nice touch at this time of year but we soon bought one to make it more festive. Slight gripe…more seating is needed as the apartment could take four people but we felt there was not enough sofa space to be comfortable for the three of us. Also, the fridge seemed to be a missing shelf but we managed. Overall, a lovely relaxing stay.
heating system is confusing and we needed a visit from engineer and when we left at 10am no heat on
Lovely apartment but living area is very small. Small kitchen but very well equipped. Main bedroom is huge with big comfy bed. Fabulous terrace, amazing views. Very good location next to pedestrian exit and Marina View bar. Just a bit tight on general space.
Enjoyable and peaceful stay and a great place to switch off and relax. For an accessible apartment safety mats should be a standard item in bathrooms. Also, providing appliance instructions in welcome email good but need more. For example, extractor hood with no evident controls, and cooker troubleshooting information such as how to get round locked control unit.
We have stayed at WMV many times, the latest being for 10 nights over Christmas and New Year 2025/2026. As always, the service and helpfulness of the staff at WMV was first class and the apartment was warm, comfortable and welcoming and had been thoroughly inspected and cleaned ahead of us arriving. We stayed in 51 (we have stayed in this apartment several times), which is spacious, has three bedrooms, all with en-suite facilities and is on an upper floor, which gives great views over the marina, from the balcony which is accessed directly from the kitchen/living room. All fixtures and ...more
Fantastic first floor apartment in a great location. Spacious, immaculate, well furnished and decorated to a high spec, with great views over the Marina. The customer service at the Marina is always first class and the doggy welcome-pack was a nice touch. Highly recommended, another excellent stay at the Marina Village.
The apartment is in excellent condition, the support staff were brilliant, very cheery and helpful. The only hiccup, if you can call it a hiccup was you could not get FreeView on the TV, tried all possible variants available, to no avail, not a big issue as we did not discuss it with the staff for assistance as only watched ourTV for a short time during the stay. Our extended family in 43 Windemere block down the way from our apartment had Netflix and other digital channels also Freeview so we watched TV in their apartment, no problem
A lovely stay at apartment 20. Beutiful views across the marina, the Christmas lights glistening on the lake. The apartment was very clean, the beds were really comfortable. Only downside was the sofa, wasn’t the most comfortable and a bit low. Our family enjoyed the break including our dog. Thank you for the doggy welcome pack. We would return again.
Had an excellent stay at Windermere Village. The house was amazing and equipped to a high standard with fabulous views over the marina. The staff in reception were extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them.
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.
Short 2 night stay everything first class from check in to check out. Weather not the best but at least it didn’t rain and only 10 - 15 minute walk into town
Hi we had just come back from a few days away to the lovely Marina Village at Windermere. It is our first visit to the apartments and I am happy to say it won’t be our last. Everything we needed, very cumfy. Close to local pubs and the onsite restaurant was very nice. It was also nice because it was dog friendly and made welcome. The apartment and the restaurant. Thank you and we will be back
Excellent place for a get together with friends. Well appointed for walks & visiting all the lakes district has to offer or just relaxing looking over the marina. Staff very lovely & helpful it was a pleasure staying there.
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
We've stayed at Marina Village many times over the years. Always enjoy our stay. First time in this flat and really liked it. Found it very clean, comfortable and quiet. Lovely view over marina. Kitchen well equipped. Quality furnishings. Welcome pack of milk/tea/ coffee etc was great as no shop nearby. Only thing needed is a bin to collect items for recycling and maybe better storage in bathroom for toiletries. Hope to stay again.
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.
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.
