FAQs & Other Useful Information
What are the rooms like?
They are lovely! All have been completely refurbished with every modern amenity and are spotlessly clean with comfortable high quality furnishings in a pleasing contemporary style. The style and standard of furnishings would grace a superior Hotel.
Will my room have a lake view?
Nearly - but not quite. Although the lake is comparatively close, there is only the merest glimpse of it from the first floor bedrooms, through mature trees but then only in winter when there are no leaves!
Estate agents will understand the dilemma here. Nevertheless, there is a very attractive view from Lingwood Lodge's elevated position across its own landscaped garden to the wooded slopes of Claife Heights on the other side of the lake.
Is there car parking?
There is room for 6 cars which may be freely left for the whole of your stay as required. A pleasant 400 metre walk takes you to the lake, shops, restaurants and attractions of Bowness.
What is Bowness like?
It is the major tourist village of the Lake District and as such is busy for most of the year.
The area of the steamer piers has a 'by the seaside' feel to it on a sunny day with boats for hire, ice cream kiosks and wandering ducks eager to be fed.
The local shops offer interest and variety and a special opportunity for holiday retail therapy. Bowness is highly recommended if you enjoy wandering and people watching amid a lively holiday atmosphere.
Are there places to eat in nearby?
The local restaurants, hotels, bistros, pubs and cafes offer a huge choice with round the world dining to suit every taste and occasion. Anything in the spectrum from a 5 course a la carte meal to takeaway pizzas or fish and chips is available within a short walk from Lingwood Lodge.
