We visited Bower House after a gap of one year to be disappointed by how it has deteriorated in this short time. Although the rooms were pleasant and clean, the staff were helpful, the food was bland and poor quality. Furthermore, it is was greatly understaffed, the two staff were rushed off their feet trying to cope with a busy... More

Bower house Inn is located where your sat nav will tell you different streets that is not there :-) we found it eventually :-) Arrived and met Dave (i think the Manager?) he was very friendly and gave us tips on where and what to do. He was working on his own as well so he was here there and... More

We were greeted by a scowl, silence and a document to sign. We were shown to room 4 could easily be 101, can I put it in 101? The dust was so thick that it could have given rise to a medical condition, Bower House Lung. At least we had a view, wait a minute, we did have a mountainous... More

This was a gem. We found it such a relaxing place to stay and being on the west of The Lakes it gave us a great opportunity to see less well known areas of the Lake District. Just a helpful comment about location . We did have to travel a lot further than we anticipated because the passes taking us... More

The Bower House Inn, Eskdale was quite in the middle of nowhere - no phone signal but they did have wifi! Great location for the start of great walks. Close to the mini railway too. Food was good in the bar/restaurant and given that our stay was in the cold Spring we were grateful for the open fires too. Breakfast... More

Made to feel 'Home from Home' here, comfortable, clean, good food and great service. The staff can't do enough for you and the food is fresh and featuring local produce. good choice for breakfast ranging from Porridge, or Kippers through to the Bower House Cooked Breakfast. Ideally located for easy walking or drives to the Western Lake District. There is... More

My partner and I were smitten by this warm and welcoming place. We were after a quiet getaway for a couple of days and the Bower House Inn fit the bill just fine. Peaceful walking is on your doorstep, as is the Ravenglass to Dalegarth railway (both of which we took plenty advantage). I've travelled a bit, and of all... More

We were apprehensive about our stay after reading recent reviews, but we did enjoy our stay. We had a friendly enough welcome, the room itself was very nice others have mentioned cleanliness overall, i'd say it was good, the only gripe would be a boxing in the bathroom that wasn't a clean as it should be. But other than that... More

Stayed here on the weekend on a deal. The price of the hotel tariff does not make any sense for the value you get at full price and so with the voucher deal being a discount rate, you would think your getting a bargin but it's still overpriced compared to other places in the local area aswell as other deals...
