Towards the back of the open-plan living space you’ll find the studio kitchen – well equipped with an electric hob and oven, full size fridge/freezer, dishwasher and microwave. The glass dining table is the perfect spot for a romantic dinner for two.

The enclosed, private terrace with views across the marina is ideal for a sundowner or alfresco breakfast on warm summer days.

Perfect spot to walk into Bowness-On-Windermere

5 stars

The only negative we can comment on is that the terrace is not fully covered so when it rains you cannot use it, we normally like to sit out for morning coffee and or early evening glass of wine.However it would not stop us staying again.Excellent customer service and accommodation.

Another great stay at marina village

4.3 stars

The apartment was great as always we always stay at marina village as it is clean and staff are lovely the only thing Id say about windward 18 is you need to put better seating in there the small conservatory sofa is so uncomfortable I ended up on the floor that is the only fault from me but the apartment itself is wonderful I understand it is only for two but a comfy seat to enjoy a film and hot chocolate on would be nice change the uncomfortable little brown sofa and you have a perfect apartment we love marina village and will always stay there little costly but you get what you pay for great location and again the staff are wonderful hoping to stay at new year but not in 18 only due to sofa lol thank you marina village

Stay at Windermere Marina

5 stars

We had a lovely week at the marina. All the staff we met were very pleasant and helpful .The apartment was very comfortable and quiet. It was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped . We thought the cleaning starter pack was generous. It was interesting looking onto the marina from our balcony. Ample car parking outside our apartment .We felt it was very secure, although members of the public could enter the marina easily.We especially liked the walk into Bowness, which was very enjoyable and also meant we didnt have the problem of parking, either the expense or availability! So much to see and do in Bowness. Lots of lovely restaurants, pubs, shops and attractions . A great choice of boat trips and also Mountain goat tours were a real bonus. A frequent bus timetable to many other places enabled us to leave the car at the marina.

My stay at the Lake District

5 stars

This is the first time I have stayed in the Lake District and could not believe how busy it was. The apartment was brilliant, so close to all the Lake boats, activities, walks etc but lovely and quiet so you could just relax. I will definitely be back. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

Windermere Holiday

Great holiday accommodation because of the setting and proximity to Bowness and Windermere. The apartment was modern and well provided with essential equipment.

Review of a happy short stay and hoping to return in the not too distant future

4.5 stars

As always we really enjoyed our stay at the Marina village.We would stay in the apartment again.The bathroom was very good with a brilliant shower.Perfection for us would have been a hook or towel rail nearer the shower cubicle.The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped and spotlessly clean as was the rest of the apartment.The apartment was located in a lovely position with beautiful views of the boats and was very quiet at night.

Windward No 18

5 stars

We have had several stays at Windermere Marina Village - this time in Windward 18. A delightful apartment and exceptionally clean. It is well-equipped. Andrew (maintenance) was very helpful in tuning our TV and connecting my laptop to the internet. The only improvement would be brighter lighting in the bedroom. However, the boiler, located next to the bedroom was a bit noisy when it kept firing up during the night. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay as usual. The milk, tea and coffee etc. given to us on arrival were much appreciated.

We loved it!!

4.8 stars

We never stayed at Lake District before- it was our first time and we absolutely loved it! The location was peaceful and quiet, the apartment was very cosy and we felt home at all times. We werent sure how to use the hob so we rang for support and within 2 mins someone was at the door to help us out. It was an amazing staycation and we would definitely come back!

Superb accomation

5 stars

Everything about our stay at Windermere Marina Village was first class. Reception staff were great and friendly. Accomadation was spotlessly clean on arrival. Views from the balcony across the marina were great and relaxing. Reserved parking outside was a plus. Having an onsite restaurant was great. Would highly recommend WMV to anyone. 100%
