Great base for Windermere outings
What a find! Beautiful rural location just outside the Bowness business & within an easy drive of west Windermere. Our room was beautifully decorated & spotlessly clean. The food at the pub was excellent & the service friendly but unobtrusive. The only downside for us was that although the outside room with patio was dog friendly there was nowhere on site to safely let our dog off lead. Otherwise we would definitely be back to stay again.

Excellent service and good food (we only had breakfast), and quite nice, modern style accommodation in their independent "pods". About 10 minutes drive from Bowness Pier, which is easy if you have a car. If not, you have to call a taxi; there is no bus stop or train station in a walkable distance. This can be a challenge during peak hours, with long waits so you have to plan your day well and call in advance.

A lovely base for exploring the Lakes
The Brown Horse was a lovely place to spend a couple of nights while our family of three explored the local area. The room was a good size, with a modern ensuite bathroom. It was pretty clean, although some of the fabrics could do with a good dust as I couldn't stop sneezing. The bed could have been more comfortable as it was quite firm, but perhaps that's just a preference. The food was top notch. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast both mornings, which you're asked to preorder the evening before. We also ate dinner one evening and it was delicious. There is a play area for children to enjoy, with benches for adults to relax while supervising the children.

We’ve never been to this area of Cumbria. We normally stay around towns. The Inn is very rural but it is easy to get to Bowness on Windermere by car. Our room was lovey and clean, the bed was comfortable, the shower was great, the views were amazing and the staff were friendly and polite.
