Our car park is approx 20 yards away within the Belsfield Hotel grounds.It is the first entrance on the right after passing Virginia Cottage.There has never been a safety problem to date. What is the location like ? Bowness is a very busy village for most of the year. If you are looking for a country retreat do not come to Bowness as it is a major tourist attraction for the Lakes.There are numerous restaurants, shops and pubs within a very short walk. What are the rooms like ? Every room has been completely redecorated in keeping with the tradition of a beautiful cottage, from Toile to Laura Ashley. We have incorporated modern facilities without the modern retro type styling. Cosy, charming and unique it is but modern contemporary it is not. ( view the room pictures ) Can we have a lake view ? Although one of the closest to the lake we cannot quite see it. Can we book a wedding party or stag night ? Please do not book more than 2 rooms as a group as it will be cancelled. Our accommodation is for couples. When is breakfast served ? Breakfast is now served between 8.45am and 9.30am. If an early breakfast is required simply let us know. A few guest comments refer to a water pressure problem. How bad is it ? We have installed hydro therapy jet showers in a number of rooms. Please note at present these showers are only running to the same capacity as a standard shower due to a lower water pressure than required for full benefit.As we do not charge extra for spa /jacuzzi or specialized showers please do not request a specialized shower until further notice. ( we hope to sort this problem within the next couple of weeks )
