Jackson's Bistro

West End, Bowness-on-Windermere, Windermere

We were recommended Jackson's Bistro by a number of people online and it did not disappoint. The food was incredible, we had different starters (chicken liver pate and the scallops - both amazing) and we both had the ribeye for mains- one of the most delicious steaks we've had (and we've had a lot of ribeyes because they're our favourite!). Cooked to perfection, melt-in-the mouth tender and full of flavour, I didn't want it to end!For dessert, we had the chocolate brownie and the crumble; I couldn't decide between ice cream and custard with my crumble so they suggested I had both! Amazing! Again, absolutely delicious.The service was top class; attentive, friendly- I can't praise it highly enough.Highly recommend you give this wonderful place a try!

Popped in today for light bit of lunch. My partner and I were in a rush to catch a bus and this spot looked nice to stop for a coffee and a quick bite. We both ordered the salmon rice bowl and it did not disappoint at all! Salmon was crispy but tender and absolutely delicious. Flavours were amazing and portions were a great size. The outdoor sitting area is nice when the sun is out. Owner was lovely and courteous. Cafe was so clean and smelt lovely.

Our second visit whilst in Bowness and we managed to sneak a table for food between busy periods! An open fire, good atmosphere, cosy and warm, and now we know delicious food! Worth a visit, even if it's just for a quick warm by the fire. Was so thrilled, forgot to take a 'before' photo but here's what's left of our (huge portioned) dinner. Recommend!

Burn How Garden Hotel

Back Belsfield Rd, Bowness-on-Windermere, Windermere

Lovely location and very quiet due to the trees and well maintained garden that surrounds the hotel. Bed was very comfortable with high quality linens and duvet. Breakfast offered a good selection of fruits and cereals with excellent cooked options. Public areas were really pleasant and offer a great view of the garden. Very close to Bowness with good shops and some excellent bars and restaurants. The only negative comment….the bedrooms could do with a little maintenance. Only saw two but repainting and re carpeting would improve things. Really appreciated the friendly and welcoming staff.

Fabulous food and a wonderful welcome for my birthday celebrations. Everything was excellent until after my liqueur coffee. I asked twice for the bill, which was not provided. Finally, we put on our coats, and I went to the bar to pay. The gentleman took my card payment and then refused to give me a card receipt, saying the paper bill would suffice. His attitude cost the staff their tips, I'm sad to say.

Joey's Café

Claife Station, Ambleside

This was an unexpectedly amazing find, one of the best cafes I've ever been to. Joey is an extremely skillful cook and it looks like he invested a great amount of time into everything that he does. You will find various types of vegan and vegetarian pasties, cakes and drinks (even Joey's Cafe beer!), all home made with his own twist. By the time we finished our little treat we regretted eating breakfast before coming, since we wanted to try many more things!

We visiting during the breakfast rush so we weren’t surprised how busy it was and we were able to order and find a table quickly. Staff were all really friendly, helpful and efficient although the member of staff serving drinks (we were told his name is Billy) was someone who stuck out to us. As we were being served we noticed that he was taking the time to engage with each customer as he worked hard making their drinks. As he chatted away, making conversation with each customer about how they were, their plans for the day, recommendations on places to visit in the town etc we were quite taken aback as he is quite frankly a breath of fresh air. We would like to thank each staff member for a lovely visit (sorry didn’t catch others names) and great customer service. Billy, you’re an asset to the Costa team!
