Break that we needed although the stairs are very steep, would only recommend for the young at heart! Fairly good location, although would recommend going with pre-bought food with freezer packs as the shop opposite does not stock healthy meals or drinks, only serves as a cafe. Excellent walk uphill behind the post office that leads to wonderful views of Windermere. In Bowness tourists can be very argy-bargey as it is far too crowded. Other places are nice but we felt the need to book as we were treated like we had dropped a bombshell when we asked for a last minute table after seeing somewhere nice! Ullswater is very beautiful, take paracetamol for those sore muscle day-afters!
