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.

Fabulous. Nothing to much trouble for the staff
Had an amazing time here. Our room was lovely and clean with extra measures in place. Check in smooth and quick. Breakfast was really nice and tasty. Thank you to the young man and Linda for a great stay.
Fabulous
Had an excellent stay in this amazing hotel . A warm welcome on check in which was quick . The rooms were large and comfortable with balcony and view over the lovely gardens. Everything you needed in the rooms including iron bathrobes etc. Loved everything about this hotel and will return.
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.
Excellent
I found this hotel last year, and having to stay in the area again, I had no hesitation booking into this hotel. The staff are excellent, very helpful. The rooms are nice and big , spotlessly clean with everything you would ever need. The breakfast is the best I’ve ever had, worth staying just for the breakfast. Central location but nice and quiet, with a short walk to the town centre. Great value for money.
Just a lovely, easy, and restful place
Great location, beautiful gardens, excellent breakfast, and lovely, well equipped and clean room with outside space (superior double)! All staff really helpful and friendly. You can catch a lakes area hop on/off bus from the bus stop 7 mins walk away. Also the various boat trip options from the pier. Including self drive mini motor boats Fab for my short break. Will return!
Lovely relaxing break
Staff are absolutely brilliant here. Always there with a smile and very helpful. Food is fabulous and the view from the restaurant across the gardens was beautiful. Bowness was very very busy but this is a peaceful haven away from the crowds.
