Having read a review which advised us to look no further and just book this hotel, we were really pleased that we did so. The hotel is situated within five minutes walking distance of Lake Windermere and although on a reasonably busy road, it was quiet and relaxing. Our room had a superking size bed with big fluffy pillows and... More

Thank you so much for submitting your wonderful review. We were extremely pleased to hear that you booked on the basis of reading the review of another, equally happy guest, and that we came up to, and even exceeded your expectations!

Very friendly family-run hotel. Owners/hosts were very welcoming and provided helpful advice on local sights and amenities in the town. Well run and managed hotel. Great breakfast choices, mostly using local produce and also home-made preserves and yoghurts, definitely try these! Our room was well appointed and had a great shower in the ensuite bathroom. Beautiful garden. Only 10 minute... More

The reviews are not wrong. This is a lovely place to stay, with such attention to detail. Breakfasts to die for - no need for lunch. We stayed in the Victorian Room with seperate dressing room and walk in shower - all very nice. Lovely lakeside walk into Bowness on an evening for a meal/drink. Thank you for making our... More

We're so glad you enjoyed staying in our Victorian four poster suite - and that your experience here was relaxed...which is of course what we aim to provide. Thank you for your compliment regarding breakfast, which as far as possible is locally sourced with home-made items on the menu. The lakeside walk - Cockshott Point - can be reached within... More

After searching endlessly for a nice quiet place to stay up in the lakes for a couple days, we came across this little gem. We had room 7 which was a large ground floor room with a 4 poster bed. It was spacious, had a minibar that wasn't massively overpriced, a large bathroom filled with "the white company" products. The... More

How pleased we were to read that you felt your lengthy search for a quiet place to stay was fulfilled. Our Queen Anne four poster room is, as you say, very spacious, with the benefit of access by French windows to our gardens and seating areas. We were especially glad to hear that you enjoyed breakfast - with personal service,... More

We stayed at this lovely B&B for 3 days. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and cooked a great breakfast. Our room was spacious and provided plenty of comfort. The location was ideal, as it was only a 10 minute walk from Bowness town centre. We would recommend staying here and would gladly stay again. More
