Ellie’s View was a delight to stay in! Cute bedrooms, luscious sunlight streaming in, a GREAT view, and well-equipped kitchen! We loved it. All except for the parking - it wasn’t BAD, but just not super convenient (up the hill a bit).

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 a delightful two story flat with a nice view over the town and of the surrounding hills. The home was well equipped and comfortable. There are metal stairs leading up to the door so anyone with a disability would find it a challenge. The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed several evenings and mornings having a drink and enjoying the view.Parking was a bit of an issue for me as it would require me to park on a steep hill so I used a nearby public lot which offered reasonable 3 night and 7 night rates.

A nice house to stay. We felt comfortable. Spacious. Cosy old house but with good facilities. Close to the centre, 3 minute walk. Our advice. Make a long walk through the countryside, away from the toeristische hussle and bussle.

Lovely place for a relaxing stay

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sehr gut ausgestattete großzügige Wohnung

Die Wohnung besticht durch ihren tollen Ausblick und das großzügige Platzangebot. Wir fanden alles vor, was wir benötigten. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Gern hätten wir beide Duschen gleichzeitig benutzt (3 Kinder), das lässt jedoch das Alter des Gebäudes nicht zu. Für uns ist Bowness etwas zu touristisch, die Wohnung liegt jedoch in einer Seitenstraße ab vom Trubel und dennoch ist man schnell an den Geschäften und Restaurants.

Home from Home

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.

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.
