Hotel accommodation just a stone's throw from Lake Windermere. The ideal location to explore the English Lake District.

This unique Lake District hotel only two minutes stroll from Lake Windermere and the village of Bowness, is an oasis of peace and tranquillity.

The Burn How’s unique layout is refreshingly different to most hotels; all the bedrooms are located outside of the main building within the gardens – winner of Windermere in Bloom 2023.
Each room is provided your own dedicated car parking space and many have a private balcony.

Hidden in the centre of the Lake District’s leading destination town, this Garden retreat offers a very different experience from which to discover the most beautiful corner of England.

Excellent hotel, tucked away from crowds.
Stayed here for 2 nights with another family friend. Spacious clean rooms, barely 5 min walk from the lake front and esplanade. Space at back of rooms to sit and relax in shared garden space. Well manicured mature gardens all over. Lovely made to order breakfast. Nice staff, always smiling. Each room has allocated parking.
Huge room and amazing gardens
Stayed here after walking the dales way. Gorgeous gardens with lovely birds to watch at breakfast. Friendly helpful staff. Huge rooms, motel style, with a nice balcony. Easy parking and good location for lake and Bowness shops.

Fantastic hotel. Some of the most welcoming, happy and friendly staff we have ever come across. The decor and gardens are beautiful. Our room opened out to the beautiful garden which was a real treat in the morning. The breakfast was sublime. Parking space right outside our room is also so convenient and in stark contrast to previous stays elsewhere in bowness. A great walk was recommended and our little one loved finding the secret Burn How inscription en-route which also earns us a free drink when back at the hotel. This hotel is overdelivering on my expectations.. fantastic.

Really Great Place
Stayed here for 1 night and what a great place , lovely Chalet with large en suite double room with kingsize bed and car parking space outside the room , perfect location for lake or Bowness-on-Windermere town , and the breakfast was really good , will definitely stay again.
Short break in Bowness
Had a lovely stay here. Room was very large, warm room with very clean bathroom. Tea and coffee facilities in room also iron and hair dryer. Staff were very polite and helpful throughout our stay and we had superb breakfasts. Parking a real bonus just outside the chalet room. Would highly recommend
