Just got back from a 3-night stay. Jane and Mark were very welcoming, room was clean, comfortable and everything we needed for a relaxing stay (mummy & 5-year old son). Especially loved the hiding of the toys in cushions and pillows on Saturday.... amused my son so much! Can't recommend this highly enough and will definitely be coming back soon.... More

Spent 2 nights at this great place with wonderful & friendly hosts , Mark and Jane. I had room no.7 , which is the family room at the top floor. Bathroom was large but with several roof beams and so was the room , but that’s okay as I was informed about that before I booked the place. Location is... More

Just back from a very pleasant weekend here. Our room was comfortable, clean and stylish, and the breakfast was delicious. The owners were very friendly and helpful and had lots of recommendations for us. The b&b is also in an ideal location halfway between Windermere and Bowness!

We have just returned from a 2 night stay at Thornbank House and cannot rate it highly enough. Mark & Jane were excellent hosts, full of great recommendations and advice, clearly very knowledgeable about the area. They had created a little booklet full of tips and ideas for days out which was great as we weren't familiar with the area.... More

Booked a much needed break in the Lake District and, after reading all the positive reviews, I booked a room in Thornbank House. The area itself is lovely and the location of the B&B is great (halfway between Windermere and Bowness), but that's really where the good points ended. We found the owner quite frosty on arrival, which was not... More

Booked three nights for a last minute long weekend and must say that Thornbank House made the ideal base. Situated half way between Bowness and Windermere you are little more than a 10 minute walk from either. The rooms are very clean and decorated to a modern standard and this is probably the most comfortable bed I have slept in... More

Booked 3 nights over the new year and was delighted with the accommodation and especially the warm and friendly welcome we received from Jane and Mark. They couldn't have been more helpful and offered some really useful advice on walking in the area. The booklet (left in the room) they had put together of things to do in the area... More

My wife and I came to the Lake District for a weekend so that I could indulge myself with my hobby - landscape photography. But in deference to "her indoors", I wanted to make sure we stayed in a nice lodging within easy reach of decent restaurants. After much research, I chose Thornbank House to stay at. It is close...
