Above The Bay, Windermere

We are quite literally situated above Bowness Bay, overlooking the lake and the popular, bustling village of Bownes-on-Windermere, which nestle picturesquely on the shores of Lake Windermere, and which can be rightly described as the jewel in the crown of the Lake District National Park.

The hustle and bustle of this energetic community reflects its status as the premier place to visit in Cumbria in the majority of tourist itineries. We are a small but far from ordinary B&B set in a modern, detached house occupying a uniquely elevated position enjoying superb panoramas of the surrounding area. We are very much aware of how important it is to have a relaxing holiday, so please take this opportunity to discover the many advantages we are proud to offer guests who choose to stay at Above the Bay.

We are only a short stroll (200 yards) from the centre of Bowness where the pubs, clubs, restaurants and shops satisfy most needs, or the lake, where everyone eventually gravitates, simply to enjoy the serene beauty and peace, or to participate in the manifold water activities offeredaround the Glebe such as boat hire, water skiing, or embarking on one of the many pleasure cruises available throughout the year.
