Emma and Gregor are lovely, down-to-earth hosts with an obvious passion for what they do, and it is this passion that really elevates Rum Doodle above your typical B&B. There were so many little touches that made the stay more special, from... More

We had one night at this lovely B&B, but could easily have stayed longer if we had more time. Our hosts, Emma and Gregor, were charming and very friendly and helpful with things to do and see in the district. We were given a neat room complete with 4 poster bed, a nicely refurbished bathroom with shower over bath, and... More

Thank you for those kind words, we're so happy you enjoyed your stay with us here at Rum Doodle, Windermere. More

“Warmest Welcome”

Reviewed 9 May 2013 via mobile

Stayed at Rum Doodle mid week. Had the warmest welcome from the owners and we had a wonderful stay. The breakfasts are amazing and the pancakes are hevenly. We would stay again without a doubt. The little touches really elevate this place above other bed and breakfasts that we have stayed at like home made cake on arrival.

Thank you! We agree it is the small touches that mean so much more at Rum Doodle, Windermere! A warm welcome is what we hope for when we travel, so it's the least we can do to make sure our guests always receive one here. More

“Second Stay at Rum Doodle”

Reviewed 24 April 2013

Second Stay at the Rum Doodle (March 2013) Fantastic little B&B and warm welcome from the owners who couldn't be more helpful. We stayed the March weekend with all the snow, but this didn't deter from the experience at the B&B. Quirky, Fun and you are well looked after here! The breakfasts are brilliant too. Hope to visit again soon

We're delighted you liked Rum Doodle in the snow! Spring is finally here - now the sun is shinning and the food is just as good as ever! Come back soon! More
