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.

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.
Excellent quality
Just back from a two day break at Burn How. It is so relaxing, the staff are brilliant and very friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. The food is of a really good standard. I have no criticism whatsoever! Looking forward to going again next year, or earlier if I am lucky!
The garden is superb; the hotel even more so!
We have stayed at the Burn How a number of times. The comfort is very good; the food excellent; and the staff (including proprietors) appear to have 'instant memory syndrome' each time we arrive. Happy staff produce very happy customers/visitors.
Perfect for our needs
Six walkers in three twin rooms and everything spot on Lovely friendly staff and really good breakfasts. Rooms clean,warm and comfy. Really handy for Bowness centre. Just to reiterate the staff are a really mixed group from youngsters to slightly less young but all super efficient and welcoming, Well done
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!
