The Angel Inn is a strong all-round Bowness option if you want somewhere that can cover food, drinks and staying over in one go. It is well placed for exploring the area, open daily for hearty pub food and drinks, and also offers dog-friendly rooms, which makes it especially useful for visitors travelling with dogs. The overall feel is classic inn comfort rather than boutique fuss, with the extra bonus of parking for overnight guests, which in Bowness can feel like wizardry.
