Bowness-on-Windermere Bed and Breakfasts


Travel, heritage, and accommodation information

Heritage Rated Hotels and other Historic accommodation Historic Accommodation - heritage rated
We love British heritage and history. If your idea of fine accommodation is an historic medieval coaching inn or an elegant country house hotel, you'll like our new Heritage Rating system for accommodation. We've poured over thousands of bed and breakfasts, hotels, inns, and guest houses in our directory and noted those accommodation properties that offer more than just a room - they offer a taste of history! If you love British heritage, look for Heritage Rated Accommodation or Heritage Rated Accommodation or Heritage Rated Accommodation. Historic accommodation properties, those rated highly on a Heritage Rating, are also highlighted in yellow and listed first. Learn more about Heritage Ratings for historic properties.

Bed and breakfasts are frequently owner-operated, and generally offer a more personal level of service than you might find by staying in a larger hotel. In many cases you will be a guest in the owner's private home.

Bowness-on-Windermere Heritage Snapshot
The name 'Bowness' is thought to have originated with the Romans, and is a combination of 'Bull' and 'Ness', or 'town where bulls are kept'. It was not until the advent of the railroad in 1847 that this area was transformed from a remote Lakeland village into a popular tourist destination.
