About this property

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. You can book direct on oh double seven three double four to for ate o2, apologies for having to be cryptic! 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.

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.

Just perfect
The apartment was fabulous . Beautifully modernised, very well equipped, spotlessly clean and a stunning location. Superb views over the inlet into the Marina and plenty of wildlife to watch from the lounge or balcony. A ten minute walk from Bowness shops etc yet a quiet and peaceful place to relax. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and this lovely "boathouse" will be our first choice if we visit Bowness in the future. The great weather made our visit "perfect plus".

Beautiful Boathouse
Our stay here was wonderful. This Boat house is beautifully situated,with a fantastic view of the Marina (Great for Birdwatching). The facilities were great and there were some lovely personal touches. A lot of care and attention goes into the presentation of this place. The only slight issues were the wi-fi ( it was very intermittent) and the shower pressure (you need a good hose down after a long walk). The owner was very professional and helpful. The Boat house is close to the village of Bowness and Windermere so there is plenty to do. We would definitely like to stay again! Thank you.

Perfect home from home
Beautifully decorated modern boathouse,10 minutes walk from all bars and restaurants. Or 3 pounds in a taxi. The apartment is very high spec throughout. Comfy bed, fresh fluffy towels and more kitchen appliances than we have at home. Fab views through the picture window of the marina. Which also has a nice bar. Lovely place to chill and watch the worl go by. Fab communication from owners. We love Bowness, and will definetly return to the boathouse in the future. Thank you for a very relaxing stay. Wish we were still there :)

Perfect quiet location in the heart of the Lake District, just a stroll away from Bowness. It was a pleasure waking up every morning watching the boats and wildlife go by. The boathouse has been modernised to a high standard and was exceptionally clean. Owners were helpful with any questions. A smooth care free booking and great stay.

Lovely Property
Easy to book with good information provided by the owner. Great location very tranquil, only a short walk to Bowness on Windemere which has lots of very good places to eat and drink. The Boathouse has been decorated to a high standard and is well equipped. A bottle of Prosseco and chocolates was a lovely surprise on arrival The swans arrived every morning for breakfast and enjoyed feeding them from the balcony with the bird food provided, as well as the robin which was also a regular visitor. Will definitely book again.

Perfect apartment in the Lakes
This is a wonderful apartment to stay in while visiting the Lakes District. We liked that it was close to town but far enough away that it was peaceful and relaxing. Beautiful view, excellent kitchen and plenty of space. And we got to see the otters on the otter cam which was a real treat!

Relaxing comfortable and quiet
We stayed here for three nights and our stay was very relaxing and comfortable. The apartment is beautiful and we had everything we needed for our stay. The apartment was spotless with stunning views. Loved feeding the birds from the bird seed provided. We had lots of guidebooks to read and lots of advice from the owner. We walked into town that didn't take long about a mile along the paths. We would recommend this apartment to anyone who wants peace and quiet.

Our second stay
This is a wonderful place to stay for a relaxing holiday. It is very clean, well equipped and is exactly as described in the listing. The owner is a joy to speak with on the phone and the wine and sweets went down a treat! It is very well situated for touring the Lake District. We also spend a lot of time just admiring the view from the settee! We would definitely recommend The Boathouse to friends. And we hope to be back next year.

A delightful apartment at a perfect location
Excellent description how to find the property. The apartment was very clean, well furnished and contained all you might need for self catering - and more. The chocolates on arrival were appreciated, as was milk in the fridge, paper towels and also a 'starter kit' of tea and coffee. The view from the balcony onto the marina is delightful. The area map was also very helpful. The location was perfect. Blessed with excellent weather we had a great time and would book again.

A truly magical place
Cathy is certainly a wonderful host who looked after us very well. This included communication before, during and at the end of our stay and lovely touches such as chocolates and a bottle of bubbly. We were lucky enough to celebrate our 30 year wedding anniversary at Bowness on Windermere to wake up to magic scenery in a very quiet, clean and well equipped apartment. The apartment is in a magic spot overlooking the lake. It's a short stroll to Bowness and not very far from Windermere. We highly recommend staying at the apartment and would definitely stay again when we visit the area.

Wonderful Boathouse
Have never booked privately before but would definitely recommend. Communication was fantastic prior to arrival with easy to follow directions and instructions. Boathouse was lovely clean and well maintained. The bottle of bubbly was a lovely touch for our Silver Wedding Anniversary. The small touches I.e the sweets, milk and get you started tea coffee were a great touch. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay especially the otter cam which made a refreshing change to normal TV. The view from the balcony was stunning especially sitting of an evening. Would highly recommend the evening sunset tour of a Lake Winderemere especially after a day walking up to Brantfell with stunning 360 degree views using the maps provided in the boathouse. Will definitely rebook and recommend.

An absolute ideal apartment
First impressions as we walked into the apartment were first class. The apartment was all new, modern and tastefully decorated. If this apartment is available during your dates then just book it, you won't be disappointed. Ideally situated not only for sightseeing the Lake District but also for a walk into Bowness so no need for the car for your evening meal. The whole booking process with Cathy was uncomplicated and straight forward, as were the directions to the apartment. We would have no hesitation in staying here again.

Perfect apartment, great views
The property was spotlessly clean and very well furnished with a fantastic outlook over the marina. I was lucky enough to have 3 days of great weather so I made good use of the balcony in the evenings. Very quiet setting (only heard swans and ducks mostly). Owners were easy to deal with and key pick up was simple. I would definitely recommend the property to friends and family as it is very well positioned to explore (shame the road was out above Grasmere) the beautiful area. Windermere was great with a couple of very good restaurants, the pick being the Wild Boar Smokehouse, which is about 10 minutes out on the road to Kendal but the food was superb. I played golf at 2 local courses: Kendal, which was quite difficult and VERY hilly (it seemed mostly uphill!), and; Grange over Sands which was less demanding and flat. Both courses were extremely welcoming. The property is actually more impressive than the advertisement and offers great value for money.

Fabulous Romantic Retreat
We stayed for 5 nights and had a fabulous time. The accommodation is first class and in a brilliant location. If you like nature this place is ideal. There is an otter cam and we were looky to see one during our visit. We also saw the King fisher daily and a cormorant . We plan to return this year.

About the host

Hosted by Catherine Bateman

Host profile image
My husband and I live in Windermere with our two children and two dogs. We love and appreciate the area and are sure that you will to.

Why they chose this property

The property has been in the family since my Grandfather and a local builder built it in 1965.After being used as a family retreat for many years my husband and I completely renovated it and gave it a new modern look in 2013.

What makes this property unique

The Marina Boathouse is perfectly situated for the vast amount of things the Lake District has to offer. Whether it's a fell walk up Brantfell, a cruse on the lake, a night at the theatre in Bowness, boutique shopping, a huge choice of restaurants and bars, the Motor Museum at Backbarrow,the art at Blackwell or a full range of water sports; it's all on the doorstep. Look out for the otter and the kingfisher that frequent the banking.
