Guests say
Bowness Oaks is a well-regarded holiday rental with guests praising its excellent location, comfort, and cleanliness. Many visitors have made happy memories here and are keen to return, highlighting the property's proximity to local amenities and the lake. While some minor maintenance issues have been noted, the overall sentiment remains positive, with the property being described as well-equipped and providing a home-from-home experience.
The property is consistently described as very clean, with multiple reviews affirming its tidiness. One review mentioned a decline in satisfaction due to a weak WiFi signal and an uncomfortable mattress, but this does not directly relate to cleanliness.
The location is frequently praised for its convenience and proximity to shops, pubs, restaurants, and the lake. The only drawback mentioned is the steep walk to the flat, which could be challenging for some guests with mobility issues.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the apartment cosy, contributing to a pleasant stay. However, one review mentioned an uncomfortable mattress sloping on one side, which suggests room for improvement in this area.
The property is described as well-equipped and generally satisfactory. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as a broken bath plug, loose window handles, and discrepancies in check-out times, which indicate that some attention to facilities is needed.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews. Therefore, it is not possible to assess this category, and the score is set to null.

Stayed here many times. Just as good as ever but the hill up to the flat seems to get bigger the older I get! Sure to return in the future.

We have stayed here many times over the years, the location is excellent and the flat is very clean as always however we were disappointed this time because the WiFi was very weak and we struggled to watch tv with it, also the mattress on the bed in the main room was sloping down on one side which made for a very uncomfortable nights sleep, unfortunately we won’t stay here again due to these issues.

Our stay at Bowness Oaks was perfect. Everything you needed was provided, and that which wasn't, there are shops just around the corner! We would not hesitate to book again. Happy memories made!!
