Birthday in the lakes
Fantastic 3 night stay at this b&b. 15 mins walk into bowness and same the other way to Windermere so perfect for restaurants and bars . We stopped in the suite with its own lounge and patio with hot tub which was fantastic , but you would need to book well in advance for this as it’s not always available . Everything was spot on for our stay , breakfast in the morning consisted of fruit and yogurt , cereals, all different jams and spreads , and full English breakfast and other things available . Ian the host kept in communication with us to make sure our stay was perfect. Would highly recommend this place and we certainly will be coming back again 👍

Beautiful guest house, fantastic host!
We have just come back from a beautiful, comfortable stay at Glencree. Ian is a fantastic host and communication was very easy. To our surprise, we were upgraded to a suite which was absolutely stunning! The guest house is about a 10 minute walk from everything (including the lake) so brilliant location. Waking up to the sound of the running stream outside was one of the highlights, so peaceful! Breakfast was very well ran, and the food was lovely. For our first trip to the Lake District we couldn’t have chosen better and I think we’ve found our go-to place! Thank you!

Gorgeous guest house
Brilliant stay at The Glencree. Great location and beautiful property. Ian our host was amazing, nothing was too much trouble. We stayed in the romantic double with balcony, although the room was small it was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. Overall an outstanding stay and would definitely return.

A fab stay in Windermere!
We stayed at Glencree for 2 nights, our first time in the Lake District. We couldn’t have wished for a better break away! Ian, the host, was super friendly and gave brilliant advice on activities, restaurants etc., upon arrival. The location was perfect for short walks into both Windermere centre and Bowness. The room was spotless with gorgeous decor and morning breakfast was delicious. Will 100% stay again in the future. Thank you!

Fantastic cheers Ian
What a beautiful guesthouse we had the small room with the balcony the room is small but very clean and comfortable, the toilet again was beautiful. The only improvement needed was to put some sort of canopy or umbrella on the balcony as you can’t sit outside if it rain’s.

100% stay at Glencree
We stayed at the hotel for a couple of nights as a getaway. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and modern too. The service was excellent and Ian really cared about his guests stay. He was very welcoming and went out of his way to make our stay was the best it could be. The breakfasts were great as you could pick and choose from the options. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone. I can’t wait to stay there again but for longer next time.
