Modern Waterfront Boathouse With Beautiful Balcony On Windermere Marina
Marina Boathouse is a unique place to escape and relax. Situated within the prestigious Windermere Marina it overlooks the channel flowing out into the lake as well as the marina itself. Take our champagne bucket out onto the balcony, relax and watch the boats go by, the herons and the cormorants; you might even get to see the otter or kingfisher. Just a 10 minute walk from the bustling lakeside village of Bowness-on-Windermere, it is the perfect place to stay and enjoy all that the Lake District has to offer. Climb a mountain or take a stroll along the shore to Bowness Bay where you can take a cruse on the lake. Everything is here for you to enjoy your holiday in our well equipped apartment, at a pace to suit you. Explore the fells or the quirky and unique local shops. Fish for your supper or try some of our fabulous restaurants. Try out some water sports or hop on the ferry across the lake and visit Beatrix Potter's house at Far Sawrey. If you don't fancy the night life of Bowness the twinkling lights of the marina from the balcony make a beautiful romantic setting.

Lovely, clean flat, very well equipped, host has thought of everything. Short walk to centre Bowness 20min walk. Host kept in touch as lake levels were up due to heavy rain incase car park flooded but all was fine. Plenty of activity on the Lake to watch while sitting on balcony between wild life and boats coming and going. We had a fabulous time here and plan on returning.

Marina - Bowness on Windermere
Make elderly people aware that there are a number of steps to negotiate to enter the apartment and staircase to reach the door of the apartment.
Otherwise good facilities and excellent view from balcony.
Good location for touring the Lake District.

Great short break
This property was ideal for the 2 of us. Very clean, comfortable and well equipped. So easy to walk into Bowness , with a good range of shops and eateries and boat trips to other attractions that we had no use for car during our 4 day stay. The Boathouse eatery had good range of food/drinks too.

Escape from COVID prison
After a year of staying home it was wonderful to visit the Lakes for a few days. Catherin's apartment has been beautifully remodelled. Spotlessly clean, well equipped and exactly as described on the website. The bedroom and bathroom are best described as "bijou" but perfectly well laid out. The shower was very modern, spacious and provided ample hot water from the electric control. It is wonderfully situated for local walks and amenities with special sunset views. It was warm and welcoming to come back to from cold days out. All in all a very enjoyable stay, our car did not move for the 5 days we were there! Thank you Cathy for letting us share your lovely boathouse.

Lovely apartment
We had a great stay here. The property was clean and tidy and just as it appears in the listing pictures. The location at the entrance to the Marina means you can just sit on the balcony and watch boats come and go all day.
It's within about 15 minutes walk from the boat piers in Bowness and the local public transport system means it's really easy to get about - we used our car just twice during the whole week.
If we come back to the Lake District we would definitely consider staying here again.
