Very modern apartment, beds are extremely comfortable and the apartment is furnished to a modern high standard. Sofas are plenty and they are of good quality and comfortable.
Kitchen is well appointed and the bath is welcome after exploring the lakes.
Apartment 16 has a double aspect view, across the marina as well as a side view towards the lake.
It also has a double driveway at the side with gate access onto patio, handy if you want to take the dog to the small beach.
Book well in advance as we have looked to
book later in the year and there is no availability.
If there was one thing to improve, I would have liked a small cabinet in the en-suite just to be able to put your toiletries and make up.

We have stayed here before but this refurb is really good. Just need a shelf in the bathroom as there is nowhere to put any toiletries. Also no dressing table so difficult hair drying and storing make up etc. very comfortable overall and very well equipped with nice crockery/cutlery and plenty equipment.

The Marina location was perfect, quiet and tranquil. Lovely walks on the door step, a short ferry ride across the lake for more walking, breathtaking scenery and a stop at Joey's cafe for coffee and lunch.

The apartment was amazing, it was very stylish and so warm and welcoming, it provided everything we needed, all at a very high standard. Our dog felt very welcome too and loved relaxing watching the world go by in the marina.
Thank you for a lovely stay. We will certainly return again and recommend to anybody looking for a relaxing stay.

We recently stayed at the Marina as had bought this as a gift for my parents. We needed somewhere suitable for the four of us plus our two dogs, we found the apartment perfect as everything was on one level.
The only very small problem we had was that my partner and I chose the bedroom with the double bed and gave my parents the ensuite room with the king size bed. I am 6' 2" so found the bed a bit short and narrow but this could have been solved if we had swapped bedrooms. However the walk in shower was better for my parents rather than the step into over the bath shower.
All the staff throughout the site were very helpful and freindly.
I am sure we will be staying again in the future.

Great location and helpfull on site team. We had some issues ie broken dishwasher (replaced during our stay and refunded a good will gesture).
The beds were, to us, uncomfortable.
There was mould/ condensation around most windows which 2e didn't notice untill we moved the wooden blinds.

We booked this beautiful apartment for ourselves and our son and his partner. Had a lovely 4 days rest. The apartment was so well appointed and we all had such a relaxing time.

The ici g on the cake was a surprise visit from our Granddaughter who had just arrived back from Australia after 12 months away.

We stayed in Apartment 16 between Christmas & New Year.
We’ve stayed on the marina numerous times & really liked this apartment. The decor is beautiful, beds are very comfortable & has everything you want in an apartment.
I would definitely stay there again.
My only criticism is that there are no shelves at all in the ensuite so I had to put my toiletries on the floor.

Beautiful apartment - stayed at the Marina a few times but first time in Apartment 16. Wish we had been there longer than 3 nights. Fantastic location, love the walk into Bowness. Great place to chill. Wish I could afford to buy there!

We’ve stayed in a few apartments at the Marina Village but Windward 16 is probably our favourite. It is very spacious, decorated beautifully. You can tell the owners really care about offering comfort to their guests. They had even put up a Christmas tree. The staff at The Marina were fantastic as usual, super friendly and always make you feel very welcome :-)

This was our 3rd time staying in this apartment and it is a great location for us as there is direct access to the balcony from outside so gives us room to store a bike safely. This is the first time since it was refurbished and everything was tastefully done our only disappointment was the bed in the master bedroom, it was a very uncomfortable mattress and whilst it is appreciated that everyone is different it was not conducive to a good nights sleep,luckily the bed in the other bedroom was much more comfortable.Apart from that hiccup we had a fantastic stay the outside space is great and we were able to use the balcony as the weather was so kind to us. Lovely walk into Bowness everyday with plenty of eateries and bars. The boathouse bar on site is well worth a visit,food is excellent and the staff were lovely. Overall a lovely time was had.

We have stayed in Windermere Marina on several occasions, but this was our first time in number 16. It has now become our favourite due to its perfect location, stunning decor, comfort & facilities. We hope to return soon

Myself, husband, elderly father-in-law and our sprocker spaniel enjoyed a wonderful few days staying in Windward apartment 16.
The apartment is spacious and beautifully designed and decorated. The two bedrooms (both with lovely comfy beds) and 2 bathrooms worked perfectly for us and the fact it was all on the ground floor was ideal for father-in-law who has mobility issues. The lounge has 2 big comfy sofas and the view out over the marina is absolutely stunning. We enjoyed eating together both outside on the decking area, again a lovely space and also at the dining table inside just beside the kitchen area. The kitchen too was impressive and so well equipped.
We really could not have asked for more.
The location is great too because it only takes 15 minute to walk from the marina along the lake in to Bowness. No need to take the car!
The ladies in reception were very welcoming and friendly and a big shout out to the Boathouse bar and restaurant that is on site too - we enjoyed a delicious lunch there and because we were staying in the marina village were able to take advantage of 10% off special offer.
Thank you for having us, we hope to return!

Beautiful apartment in a great location. The decor of the place was stunning. The only things I would recommend is that there be a full length mirror in the property somewhere, some more side tables in the living room and that the main bedroom mattress be replaced as it’s very dis-shaped and quite uncomfortable

This apartment is gorgeous. It is at the end & balcony is on ground floor. The fixtures & fittings are of excellent quality. The linen on beds was super comfy.
Only slight issue was you could hear the footsteps of the o cup ants above us, they obviously had kids who were constantly running about! However this certainly wasn’t a deal breaker!
