    Wasn't there anything to dislike really.

    It's a lovely guest house, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The hosts are great and considerate. The breakfast was delicious. A lot of attention to detail has been given to everything. The location is superb, not too close to the lake or the commercial centre but still just a nice walking distance away.

    As can be seen from the picture the property is full of character. Especially our rooms at the top of the building. Our hosts were friendly and helpful, nothing seemed to be too much trouble. The full English breakfast was superb. We could easily park nearby in the street and we were roughly equidistant from Windermere and Bowness as mentioned by our host upon arrival.

    maybe a little bit far away from the train station (but therefore closer to Bowness Pier)

    Richard and Paula are the best hosts and the Full English breakfast had been fantastic until my clumsy husband ruined it by loosening the cap of the salt can😂would recommend the hotel to my friends absolutely.

    Ceiling a bit low on one side of the double bed.

    Great location between Windermere and Bowness. Plenty of parking on the roads in quiet area. Room was very clean and beds comfy. We had the family room on the top floor. Breakfast good each day with plenty of choice. Richard and Paula very friendly and helpful. Good value price for a long weekend in school summer holidays.

    Stayed in the top floor unit, the beam is quite low, must watch your head when moving around the room

    Paula is very welcoming and friendly. The homemade compote/yogurt at breakfast is amazing. The property is in a quiet part of town between the north and south end of Windermere which are both walkable.

    Lovely welcome upon arrival and Richard was very friendly, made to feel at home, shown where everything was and given some leaflets with things that might interest us during our stay. The room was spotless and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was brilliant and you could tell that they really pride themselves on supporting local produce suppliers. Paula was lovely and friendly and we had a lovely chat over breakfast.
