Upon arrival, our host quickly checked us in. The room was clean and comfortable. The property is conveniently located between the town center and Lake Windermere. We used it as a base to get to Helvellyn for a great day hike. The breakfast room and breakfast are wonderful and well worth the sitting. Overall a wonderful experience!

Lovely little hotel, bed was really comfortable which I think is the most important thing. The breakfast was also really good. The hosts were really helpful and polite. We only stopped for one night to break up our long drive to Scotland. If we ever go back to Bowness we would book this hotel again, real value for money also.

Lovely little B&B with parking, inbetween Windermere and Bowness. The staff were super helpful, and breakfast was great. The only small downside was the lack of sound proofing of the rooms, particularly noise from the landing. Would still stay again though

We’ve been here twice now (this is our second year) and I don’t really think there’s anywhere else I’d stay. It’s located perfectly between Windermere (for the station) and Bowness and the lake if you want to have a quick nip down. Also well connected to the buses if you want to explore more and didn’t drive down.
The staff are incredible - you’re really taken care of well - check in is later, but they’ll gladly keep your bags and take them up to your room if you arrive earlier by train, and equally they’ll keep some of your bags if your train is later than check out. They’re also always super friendly and ready to help you out whenever you need.
Breakfast - everything is good. Everything. Is. Good. I usually go for the pancakes or the eggs on the muffins with the salmon, but you can’t go wrong with anything they have. Granted, I haven’t had the vegan breakfast, but if the vegetarian is anything to go by you’ll be happy.
Stay here - but leave me a spot, I need to come back again. Deal? Deal.

Room was beautifully decorated, and very clean. Staff super friendly. Bathroom needed an update with rust in bath and tiles falling off, plus very compact and you couldn't open door fully due to sink behind it.

We loved our stay, the cleanliness was exceptional and the waitress at breakfast was amazing.
Off road parking was a big plus and the location is ideal for both bowness and windermere.

The stay overall was very good. Limited parking space and can be a little awkward to drive up a small steep drive to park well if there are other cars parked there too in the limited spaces.
Main issue for us was that there is no separate bathroom in Room No.8 whic is in the attic.The bathtub is in the room with an attached flx hose shower with no privacy. Apparently this mentioned in the websites,wher this property is advertised, but I didn't pick up on that.
No issues at all with cleanliness, and courteous snd friendly staff. Location is conveniently close enough to Ambleside and Windermere.
