Step into the charm of 18 Marina View, a modern 1st floor apartment in the heart of Bowness. Perched on the edge of Lake Windermere, this luxury apartment is part of the brand-new Bowness development completed in 2022. With 2 cosy bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a location that puts you in the centre of it all, could this be the perfect base for your next Lake District staycation?

Step into the spacious hallway and continue through the doorway straight ahead of you. Here, you’ll find the open-plan kitchen, diner, and lounge – a space designed for comfort and socialising. The glossy greige kitchen is modern and fully equipped, ready for your culinary adventures. Complete with an electric hob and oven, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, microwave, SMEG kettle and toaster and a Tassimo coffee machine.

The lounge, with its cosy leather furnishings, invites you to unwind and relax in front of the 65” Samsung SMART TV with Sonos sound bar and Bose smart speaker.

Step out through the bi-fold doors onto the private west facing balcony overlooking the peaceful marina and the yachts and cruisers, allowing you to enjoy marina life from the privacy of your luxury apartment.

The Master Bedroom is a soothing space of comfort and tranquillity, dressed in calming shades of green inspired by the surrounding and complimented by local artist, Rebecca Cropper art dressing the walls. There is a wall mounted 32” SMART TV, mirrored wardrobes and a dressing table for your convenience. The elegant en-suite bathroom features a rainfall shower, a WC, hand basin and large mirror.

Across the hall, Bedroom 2 offers a spacious twin set up (can be configured as a super king on request prior to arrival). Dressed in nautical shades of pale blue, this bedroom can accommodate a travel cot.

Next door, the modern marble family bathroom offers a bath tub – perfect for post hike relaxation!

Bowness-on-Windermere, just a 10-minute stroll away, is a bustling lakeside town known for its picturesque views of Lake Windermere, the largest natural lake in England. Here, you can enjoy a variety of water-based activities such as paddle-boarding and wake surfing, explore charming shops, and dine at a wide range of eateries.

There is lift access to the apartment and parking available with no height restriction.

A Great Stay and LOcation

We are regular visitors to Windermere Marina Apartments which says it all really. We have never been disappointed in any of the apartments we have had: spacious, spotlessly clean, comfortable and with lovely views of the marina. The whole set-uo is superb and the staff are friendly and helpful. We also believe they are very good value for money.
Just a couple of thoights: in Bowness 18, the shower in the en suite needs a shelf of some sort to obviate the need to bend down for products; also, do ovens/microwaves have to be so complicated?!; I prefer the information /instructions to be available as hard copy.
These are not in any way deal breakers, rather suggestions. We love it here, a peaceful haven away from the hubub of Bowness - if we are so inclined.

Stayed in this apartment recently and was very happy with the property and the staff. Excellent customer service especially from Joanna who sorted out a little problem with are radiator. Would definitely recommend Marina Village to anyone wanting to stay in Bowness.

Amazing location, with beautiful views of the marina. A short walk and even shorter drive to the local town. Would definitely recommend

Spotlessy clean and everything you could need is provided. Lovely and relaxing to sit on balcony even if weather isn't great as covered. You could hear traffic on main road but not too noisy. Beds very comfortable. More simple instructions for digital controls on oven would have been helpful. Link to instruction manual provided but not easy to follow on phone. Laminated card or sheet provided with key pack would help. Already recommended to friends.

Thank you for your review and we are pleased to hear you enjoyed a relaxing stay. There is a simplified quick guide for using the oven available on our online property guide which is part of the pre-arrival email sent a week before your stay. We are more than happy to print this out for you at reception too, and our maintenance team are always on hand to help with further guidance. We look forward to welcoming you, and family and friends, to the Marina in the future.

We have been visiting WMV for many years but this is the first time in one of the new apartments. Apartment 18 was luxurious and comfortable. Cleanliness of WMV apartments is always very high. Even though We are quite ‘techy’ the operating of the various electrical goods was quite a challenge!
Only one little gripe - the hot water takes a long time to reach the hot taps as presumably it comes from a central point in the block as opposed to a hot water tank in the apartment.
But we enjoyed a great week and would also commend the service and food of the Boathouse Restaurant. We will be back.

I stayed at this apartment before and it was lovely so we booked it again.The only issue I have is that the last time we stayed one of the radiators would not work and also heated towel rail in bathroom would not work.I did report it when we left,and to my amazement they did not work this time round either,so I can only assume they have been switched off to save on there fuel bills.The only other issue is that to regulate the thermostat is quite difficult.As the sun does not come onto the apartment t windows till approximately 6pm it an get a little chilly.It did not spoil my holiday too much as the weather was glorious,but a holiday in the winter could be another thing.

Appartment is 10/10 in all respects.
Can’t fault anything.
Not cheap, but I would not expect an appartment of this standard to cost less.
2nd time I have visited and still get the same “Buzz” when going there.
Spotless.
Well equipped.
High quality furnishings and appliances.

A clean and well furnished apartment overlooking the Windermere Marina. Great location for walking into Bowness and for the Hawkhead ferry.
Well equipped apartment although for four people more cultery would be good. Beds a little too hard for our preferences .

This is our fourth time at Windermere Marina . Our apartment was clean and comfortable with amazing views. Furnishings were luxurious with a lovely kitchen.

Reception staff were helpful and friendly.

We had breakfast at the Boathouse, which I would definitely recommended. We will be back, a home from home.

Tha apartment is great, only issue was the outside furniture which was dirty and is at the wrong end of the balcony to get afternoon sun.

Excellent apartment with everything you need. Well equipped modern kitchen, dining, living space. Large comfortable bedrooms with en-suite shower room and main bathroom. All decorated and furnished to a high standard. Perfect location to explore Windermere and surrounding areas by ferry or car. Lots of choices of places to eat and drink within walking distance. Lovely on-site bar restaurant with the friendliest staff!
