Just returned from a great weekend at Oakbank house, in our opinion you should ignore the negative reviews. We stayed in Room 6 with two windows and a view of lakes and hills from both, absolutely stunning. Yes the room was sometimes a bit cool but this was due to the traditional windows and the high ceilings, there was a... More

My husband & I stopped here for 2 nights at the end of march. The hotel is in an excellent location & is very clean. Breakfast was good with prompt service. Now the bad points ......

We stayed at Oakbank House the same time as chillimillie and I was flabbergasted to read Bradford Taylor 's review. As we checked out at the same time (myself and CM) I can honestly say at no point were there any raised voices/verbal abuse in actual fact we left on a pleasant note chatting to Danny about New Year's Eve...

We had a lovely stay over New Year and I was quite surprised to read the comments of the previous review. Unfortunately I think we were the ones that had booked Room 4 the day Chillimillie (and after reading her review I can see why she would be called Chilly!!) was moved to another room. I actually felt sorry for... More

Oh Danny Boy!!! There the song ends, the lakes may be calling us back but Oakbank guesthouse definitely isn't. Bowness is lovely, nestling by the lake, it is very picturesque, with plenty of places to eat and drink - all you need for a short break. However not quite so adaptable was Oakbank House. We were disappointed with some of... More
