Convenience Stores in Bowness-on-Windermere, Cumbria

“When our driver was taking us to the hotel I asked him to stop at a liquor store he thought I was just joking, I was not at all and when I saw the sign for Bargain Booze I said, "Stop" immediately. I was thrilled to see my new favorite Sauvignon Blanc for 7.5 quid. I got 2 bottles and a 4 pack of Heineken. As I was checking out the clerk said, "that Heineken is alcohol free" Whoa Joe wouldn't like that. I didn't know the difference since I'm not a beer drinker...You save a fortune purchasing this in advance. It ended out being a great decision because we had to wait almost 2 hours to get checked in to our room.The next day we decided to take a tour of Bownes the town that we drove thru on our way to Windermere Beech Hotel. It was great because I saw Bargain Booze onceagain and they remembered me from the day before. I got some more of that wonderful wine once again. We had lots of rain the first day so we were happy to have some sunthis day for our shop. Great place with very fun lake ladies to help me!”

“Standard co-op food selections, thebloke who served us was helpful by letting me know I'd missed an offer and it would actually work out cheaper for me if I bought another item.”

“Tiny, but well-stocked. They had 80% of what I wanted (that I could get in a bigger Tesco)If you've read the reviews and want to avoid possible rude staff, use one of the self-serve checkouts - there's 4 of them. There's also a human cashier who can take cash.”
