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.

Amazing room and even better staff
Stayed here for a night a few weeks ago and wow what a fabulous stay. We loved the view from the hotel, the surrounding areas, the breakfast was amazing and the staff were the best, especially Aimee.We’re planning to come back in a few weeks, cannot wait!
Especially friendly and homely hotel
A brilliant 3 night stay at Burn How House Garden Hotel. All staff friendly and helpful nothing was too much trouble. Melissa in the restaurant looked after us so well the food is excellent the best breakfasts I’ve had in a long time. Dinner choice brilliant house menu or a la carte mix and match. Highly recommend this hotel and will definitely return.

Fantastic hotel. Some of the most welcoming, happy and friendly staff we have ever come across. The decor and gardens are beautiful. Our room opened out to the beautiful garden which was a real treat in the morning. The breakfast was sublime. Parking space right outside our room is also so convenient and in stark contrast to previous stays elsewhere in bowness. A great walk was recommended and our little one loved finding the secret Burn How inscription en-route which also earns us a free drink when back at the hotel. This hotel is overdelivering on my expectations.. fantastic.
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.
Really Great Place
