We had a great stay with friends in the Old Courtyard. Perfect location, no need for the car once we got there as it’s right in the centre of everything but not too busy that you hear the outside world inside the house. The house had everything we needed, was clean, comfortable and cosy. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely clean cottage, well situated for pubs/restaurants/shops of Bowness.

Lovely clean cottage, well situated for pubs/restaurants/shops of Bowness. Quite unusual to have parking for so many cars in the middle of Bowness and also useful for large groups as has one bathroom per bedroom.
