This was a spontaneous stay, and we were very pleased we chose this hotel. The owners and staff were lovely and welcoming. Our room was great. Would stay again.
Beautiful property amazing hosts who cant do enough for you. Suzanne greeted us at the property and made sure to recommend local restaurants for our evening meals. The breakfast fruit starter is amazing and Glen cooks a mean breakfast with high quality produce. Rooms are spacious clean and individual. Highly recommended would definately stay again.
This B and B is a short walk from Bowness-on-Windermere. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. This property is immaculate and well maintained. The full English breakfast was outstanding. Enjoyed a free upgrade to a better room on arrival. Thank you
Susan is very friendly. She greeted us warmly. We really liked the room, which was very cozy. Susan introduced us to nearby tourist attractions and routes and gave us many tips on saving money and budget-friendly travel options. We enjoyed the breakfast at the place very much. The breakfast was very abundant and fresh, prepared by the chef on the same day. Please confirm your check-in time, as the chef needs to wake up early in the morning to prepare breakfast for each guest, so they need to go to bed early. Please make sure to check in before 9 PM to ensure their schedule is maintained.
Fabulous B & B great location short walk to lakeside and town. Accommodation spotless, beautifully done out and very comfortable. Owners and staff so friendly and helpful . Garden is gorgeous with lots of places to sit and relax. Excellent breakfast too .Highly recommended *****
Perfect location for travelling around the lake and for going out in the local area. Delicious and ample breakfast, tailored to your needs with plenty of tasty options which set us up right for a long walk. Super comfy bed, warm, little nice things like milk and good advice on walks and local sights. They also gave us biscuits to keep us trucking on our walk on our way out the door.
what an outstanding property! This was certainly in the highest class of a B&B, more like a luxury hotel. The ambience was excellent, the rooms and living areas so tastefully decorated. The owners are a lovely middle aged couple, friendly and always happy to advise on things to see and do. It was a pleasure staying here
Absolutely beautiful property. Amazing hosts, so welcoming and very informative . Stunning decor, spotlessly clean. Hosts had thought of everything to make our stay a thoroughly enjoyable experience . Would highly recommend - do not miss this gem of a place
Stunning. Loved it
