Fantastic location and very comfortable

Our second visit to Bowness guest house as we were so impressed the first time. The first floor room was perfect and the bed was so comfortable we wished we were staying longer. Great location for Bowness and beyond, plus restaurants and bars within a 5-10min walk.
