We stayed here over the may bank holiday having never visited the lake district before. Location was a short walk into bowness and windermere and a short drive to hawkshead and wray castle. The service we had was very good, although I found the host a bit stressed albeit friendly over breakfast. Check out was 10.30am which was a little... More

Stayed here for the Early May Bank Holiday as a last minute surprise for the Trouble and Strife and it was a really enjoyable stay. Parking was easy and we were welcomed by Heather who offered us a Tea or Coffee which I thought was a nice touch after our journey. The walk into Bowness is around 10 mins at... More

I'm a regular visitor to the Lakes and these days always stay at this lovely guest house, Heather and Nigel are very welcoming and it's easy walking distance to both Bowness and Windermere, on a quiet road away from the traffic noise. Rooms cosily decorated, with all the facilities you expect these days and spotlessly clean, and the beds are... More

Beds comfortable, rooms warm, breakfast good and my wife's dietary requirements were accommodated with no fuss. Nothing technically wrong. When I checked out, a business transaction had been completed is how it felt to me. Noisy drunkards in the next room on the Saturday meant little sleep, though the owners cannot be blamed for this. People would not have a... More

We stopped here for 2 nights and found it to be very good. Room was clean and the welcome was very hospitable even though we arrived quite late. Breakfast was excellent - good food and plenty of choice, try the eggs benedict! Although we didn't need any additional help from the proprietor we got the impression that nothing would have... More
