Both myself and my other half had a very pleasant stay at Glenville house. The rooms were immaculate and the Craig and Lyn were fantastic hosts who were always there if we needed anything. The breakfasts were fab and we will definitely be returning!!

Everything smelled good. The room was clean and comfortable, and everything was new. The owners were attentive and friendly. Breakfast was superb. The B&B was located within easy walking distance of Windermere, with Bowness a little further down the hill but still within easy reach.

This was our first visit to the lake district and certainly wont be the last; both Craig and Lynne made us very welcome and couldn't do enough for us. The accommodation is of a very high standard and the breakfast is top notch. Even down to the small details such as the fresh, homemade biscuits in the room every day.... More

Brilliant. From the moment I first spoke to Craig over the phone to arrange the booking, through the changes to the booking, to his kind help when recommending places to eat etc. to the visit itself, this was a perfect B&B experience. Lovely and friendly, helpful and relaxed on check-in and across the whole weekend, Craig and his wife were... More

Avoid if at all possible, I don't have enough time to discuss how bad it was, Craig I believe one of the managers is called was incredibly unhelpful and utterly rude. Some of the reviews on this page surprise me massively, anything I asked for was met with surly attitudes and bad manners, even down to a fresh towel, did... More

We think that if these guests left after having such a bad experience we would have remembered them, but we dont. Therefore after careful research we can only conclude that these people have NEVER stayed at Glenville House. We treat all guests equally, We are never rude to guests and we change towels regularly, and if guests ask us something... More

My husband and I stayed for a long weekend in March and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Glenville House. Craig was a very attentive host both on arrival and through out our stay. Lynne's breakfasts were just what we needed to set us up for a days walking in the Lakes. We stayed in one of the attic rooms, which... More

Craig and Lynne are very friendly proprietors and have put a great deal of thought into catering for every possible need. We went at Easter and found not just a chocolate mint on each pillow ( standard each night it seems) but a proper Easter egg on the Sunday. That's beyond the call of hostelry ( if I can coin... More

After searching on the Internet for a B&B we found Glenville House which had great reviews. After 2 nights stay, we found that it had gone beyond our expectations. We were made to feel very welcome by Lynne, who showed us to our room. The room was modern, clean with lots of extra little touches which made the stay feel... More
