An airy lounge with bay windows giving views of the mountains with a coal effect gas fire for the cooler months. Fully equipped kitchen with fridge/freezer, dishwasher, oven and microwave.

Situated on a Cul-de-Sac away from the main road and is very quiet. Biskey Howe viewpoint is 5 minutes walk up the hill, which gives stunning views of the lake and mountains

A very clean property, ideally located to enjoy the centre of Bowness only 5 minutes walk away. Would definitely recommend and will visit again in the future. We didn’t receive the check in details but thankfully Paul was able quickly sort this for us.

Perfect location
Very comfortable accommodation, five minutes from the centre of Bowness. Parking not provided but never had any trouble finding any very close by. Everything we needed for our short break, with the added bonus of two bathrooms, although the shower pressure not great but wasn’t a problem. Would definitely book again.

Ellie's View is very clean and tidy with great decor, a great view & immediately felt at home! Only downside is the steep steps up to the property which were a bit tricky to go up & down with a heavy suitcase & may be a challenge for some people.

Christmas 🎄
Stayed with our two adult children. We thought this accommodation was perfect! Good location. Lots of space and very clean. We had a wonderful Christmas in Bowness. I would recommend this property and would definitely stay here again. The only minor suggestion I would make is improvement of showers which were quite cold and had no real power.

Ellie's View is a lovely property in a quiet residential street and close to the shops at the end of the street, don't forget the shortcut. You can just see the Lake. It is immaculate. The beds and bedding are very comfortable.. Please note the only way to the property is at the rear and there is an outside iron stair way to the front door. The key safe door doesn't drop down when you have put the code in, and after fighting with it for a few minutes I had to call Paul who said to use your finger to gently pull the door down :) The street is on a hill if you have mobility issues. I would definitely stay again. Shame it rained the 2 days we were there but we had a lovely time.

I booked this accommodation for 3 work colleagues who were working on a local project. All 3 gave great feedback saying the accommodation was very clean and tidy and great value for money. We would definitely book again should we need to stay in this area again.

Excellent location and great value for money for a weekend getaway
Excellent communication from the host made everything hassle free. Master lock key system meant no problem accessing the property. Comfortable living arrangements and excellent location. Pet friendly too .... only downside would be the parking.

Only comment would be that the steps up to the door would benefit from some sort anti slip material being put on them.

Nice apartment in a lovely area
Had a nice few days here. The beds were super comfortable and clean, the shower was lovely and the bath upstairs was a nice size. There was no plug in the downstairs bathroom though, which was a downside with a mixed party both wanting baths at the end of a very taxing day. The towels in the main bedroom were also not very pleasant, they had more of a blanket like texture and we found long hairs on them. That said, we had no other issues with cleanliness. The kitchen was nice and decently equipped, although when preparing food the knives were rather blunt. The view from the bay window in the living room was lovely, perfect in the evenings.

Bowness Retreat
While the access to the retreat is a fair climb, it is well worth it. The rooms are quaint and full of charm. Directions given by the owner were well stated. The views from each of the bow windows were exceptional. Ellie’s View is close to bus routes and delightful tea and breakfast spots. The town is full of lovely dogs of all makes and sizes.
