Briarwood

Couples and small families will find Briarwood suits them well. The apartment sleeps three across two bedrooms—a double and a three-quarter double—with a single bathroom. You have the whole property to yourself, on the second floor with a balcony looking out towards Claife Heights and the surrounding fells.

The living space is open plan, with a kitchen equipped for proper cooking: electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge and dishwasher, plus a washing machine if you need it. The sitting area has Freeview TV and a DVD player. Bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are included, along with heating and hot water. A cot is available if needed. You can park your car on site, and there's bike storage if you're planning to explore by two wheels.

Bowness itself is within easy walking distance—shops, a pub and restaurants are about a quarter mile away. The location gives you access to local walks from the door, and golf is available nearby. No smoking inside the property, please.
