How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 2 pet-mention guest reviews sourced from major booking platforms - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover - we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 82 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.4/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: July 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.
Pet-friendly summary
High Rise Apartment is a three-and-a-half-star self-contained apartment on Quarry Rigg in central Bowness on Windermere, set on a quiet residential road close to the village amenities and the lakeside. It is one of the more centrally located pet-friendly Bowness apartments and is set up for a couple travelling with a settled dog.
The one confirmed pet-traveller stay describes the apartment positively: spotlessly clean, with a comfortable bed, a well-equipped kitchen, useful small extras like a dressing table with straighteners and a hairdryer, and a helpful host who responded quickly on the phone when the guest needed parking guidance. The location is described as perfect for accessing the village.
One small practical suggestion from the same reviewer is that a dust pan and brush would be a useful addition for guests bringing a dog, since a moulting dog will leave traces during a longer stay. Bring a small travel-sized brush or ask the host directly if you plan a week with a heavily-shedding breed.
The apartment has an overall guest rating in the high nines across more than eighty reviews, so cleanliness is generally good. As with any short-let, confirm changeover-cleaning timing with the host before arrival to set expectations. Best suited to a couple with one settled dog who values central Bowness access, a clean modern apartment and small thoughtful host touches.
