Snaptrip says

Bluebell Hill is a well-presented apartment in the heart of Bowness-On-Windermere, praised for its cleanliness, stylish decor, and comfortable furnishings. Guests appreciate its proximity to local amenities and the added bonus of a balcony. While some minor issues were noted, the overall sentiment is positive, with many guests willing to return.

Guests that stayed at this property said

The apartment generally receives positive remarks for cleanliness, with several reviews highlighting its spotless condition. However, a few guests noted areas for improvement, such as debris under the sofa and worktops, which slightly lowers the score.

The location is highly praised for being in close proximity to restaurants, bars, and Lake Windermere. Its central position in Bowness is considered ideal by guests, making it a standout feature of the property.

Guests find the apartment comfortable, with cosy furnishings and comfy beds. The size of the apartment is noted as snug for larger groups, but overall, the comfort level is well-regarded.

Facilities are adequate, with some guests satisfied with the amenities provided. However, there are several mentions of a small fridge and inadequate shower pressure, which suggests room for improvement in this category.

There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the host in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.

About this property

Set at the heart of the Cumbrian town of Bowness-on-Windermere lies this delightful, first-floor apartment, Bluebell Hill. With nifty, on-site facilities and superb positioning to nearby attractions and amenities, this property is ideal for families or sharing friends who are looking for a relaxing, self-catered getaway in the Lake District National Park. As you step into your new lodgings, you’ll be greeted by a tastefully-presented, open-plan living space, consisting of a fully-equipped kitchen area where the designated chef can whip up delicious, home-cooked meals for the whole group to be savoured at the dining table, sat on the sofa whilst you enjoy a film on the Smart TV, or even alfresco on the furnished balcony in the warmer months. As day turns into night, indulge in a rejuvenating shower before retiring to one of two bedrooms, including a plush double where you can rest and recuperate ahead of a brand new day. If you can tear yourself away from your new dwelling, step out your front door and take a walk around Bowness-on-Windermere, where the attractions of The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction and Fallbarrow Hall can be found, whilst the Windermere Jetty Museum offers daily steam-launch boat tours of the magnificent Lake Windermere. A short drive north along the lake will bring you to Ambleside, with the stunning Stagshaw Gardens, Borrans Park, Ambleside Roman Fort, and the Stock Ghyll Force waterfall providing a day’s worth of fun activities. Slightly further afield, a journey east will bring you to Kendal, a market town home to the eponymous Kendal Castle, Kendal Museum and Miller Bridge. Whatever you choose to do, you’ll never run out of things to see or enjoy during a stay at Bluebell Hill.

Visitors to the Lake District National Park are drawn to the lively twin towns of Bowness and Windermere because each one offers a variety of adjacent attractions, facilities, a movie theatre, shopping, and restaurants to satisfy all interests. Windermere Lake Cruises in Bowness offers a choice of boat cruises and boat rental options to Brockhole, Ambleside, and Lakeside (at the southern end of the lake where the Lakeside Aquarium and the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway are situated). The Old Laundry Theatre and the World of Beatrix Potter Attraction are separated by 1.5 kilometres. It takes 30 minutes to walk to Orrest Head to take in the breathtaking vista of far-reaching views over the lake and nearby fells, which served as the inspiration for Alfred Wainwright to create his series of renowned guidebooks. The historic villages of Grasmere, Ambleside, and Troutbeck are only a short drive away, while Brockhole, which provides high wire tree top activities, is three miles distant. For those with greater energy, marine centres near the lake offer a range of watersports. With easy access to attractions like the stunning Langdales, Beatrix Potter's Hill Top House at Far Sawrey, Coniston, Grizedale Forest Park with its delightful walks and famous outdoor sculptures, mountain biking and "Go-Ape" adventure park, Ullswater, Kendal, and Keswick, stone circles, Roman forts, and England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike, the area is perfectly situated for exploring everything this region has to offer.

    Spotlessly clean and tidy with a very cosy welcoming feel. The beds are extremely comfy with fresh crisp bedding, it had everything we needed and the location is ideal. Just perfect highly recommend we would definitely return.

    No communication was given near our date of arrival so I had to search back to my original boking to find information on where to park and key codes etc - if you book do not delete that email! The apartment is nice but is smaller than it looks on photos. It was fine for us (family of 4) for a few days but think 4 adults would find it too snug possibly. We also had no hot water during our stay. I didn't have time to ring them to let them know as I wanted to enjoy my holiday and not have to spend time sorting this out. A number to text might be handy to have rather than the landline of a caretaker. The bathroom is ok but no toiletries provided. Hand soap would have been nice- it's not something I tend to take on holiday. The shower unit is also quite small and the shower is poor with not good water pressure. I would stay again but for the price could probably get somewhere a bit bigger.
