My husband and myself have just come home from our first experience of the Lakes and would definately return to both May Cottage and the Lakes. We had Room 2 which I could not fault. It was spotlessly clean and had everything needed for your stay. Mind you if you forget anything Sue and Len would effortlessly put themselves out... More

This choice was late on our part, done in a panic, late at night before our day of travel there but owner Sue responded to our inquiries, held the room till we could get back to her. Very considerate upon arrival and if you can see " the red poppy room" picture which was ours, you can see that it... More

There's a reason its called a bed and breakfast....because that's all you want ...you don't want stories or tasks over breakfast and you don't want owners cleaning your room and folding your clothes up while your out walking ......was overpriced but the entire area is .....we would stop again because its central (but I wunt tell her I wrote this...

Originally we booked this B&B for our four-day trip mainly because of its convenient location and - most of all - giving us a clear view of Windermere everyday. However, it was far beyond our expectation and turned out to be the best B&B experience we've ever had in the UK. The room we stayed was the top loft -... More

We stayed there for 4 nights. The lady was super-nice and helpful and provided us with a loft room with lovely roof windows both in the bedroom and in the bathroom. We enjoyed the lake view from our room. The full English breakfast I had there is the best one I've ever had in my life. During the breakfast the... More

Just returned from a wonderful weekend at May Cottage. If you're thinking of spending a night or two in Bowness then you won't regret staying at May Cottage with hosts Sue & Len. Just a minute or two from Bowness centre and the pier. We were in room 1, lovely and spacious, huge bed, very smart bathroom and lots of... More

From the moment we stepped into May Cottage we were made to feel like we were 'old friends'. Our room was bright, welcoming and spotless, and the king sized bed proved to be very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and set us up for the morning. We didn't avail ourselves of the use of the nearby Burnside Hotel's swimming pool with... More

We recently returned from a lovely 2 nights in May Cottage. We were unexpectedly early, but Sue showed us to our room and we were immediately offered tea and coffee. We had the room at the front with a sofa: beautifully clean and with an adjustable radiator. The location is superb: quiet, but 2 minute walk from the centre of... More

We were two females staying for a walking/relaxing holiday in May Cottage, room 3, with a twin set up. This B&B in Bowness-on-Windermere was a gold mine. On arrival we parked in the private off-road parking space and were warmly welcomed by Sue and Len with a cup of tea brought to the room. Sue offered fantastic advice for nearby... More
