The Experience
There’s a definite wow factor here. Built into the hillside above Bowness and made famous by Grand Designs, this extraordinary modern building has sweeping views across Windermere to the central fells.
But for all its drama, it feels remarkably relaxed. Dave and Hayley look after guests with warmth and flair (her cooking is a major part of the experience). Expect generous breakfasts made to your liking and, if you choose dinner, six-course tasting menus that change seasonally. The vast open-plan living and dining space is made for lingering over food and conversation, with a full-length balcony for those views.
Five spacious suites have super-king beds, four have seating areas and three look out over the lake. When you’re not out walking, do laps in the heated indoor pool, have a sauna or sink into the hot tub, challenge someone in the games room, or simply settle into an armchair and watch the light play across the distant lake.

Location
The neighbourhood
On the eastern edge of Bowness-on-Windermere, it’s less than 10 minutes’ walk into town, where you will find lake steamers, shops and restaurants, while footpaths including the Dales Way begin nearby. Brant Fell viewpoint is a short walk away.
Local points of interest from Yvonne Malley
- Dome House is the perfect place for a special birthday or celebration. The whole house can be booked exclusively for up to 10 guests. The whole house experience includes breakfast, bespoke menus and all drinks are included.
- We collaborate with a local massage and beauty therapist to offer massages and facials during your stay with advance notice.
- Brant Fell is a lovely 15-minute walk straight from the house. It's the perfect spot to capture a different view of Lake Windermere and on a clear day you can see as far a Morecambe.
- Our chef specialises in gluten-free cooking and baking. Our menus are coeliac friendly.
- Dome House backs onto the start of the Dales Way. You can leave your car in our ample car park and enjoy walks straight from our doorstep.
- Dome House featured on Grand Designs in 2010.
