We're got the first parking space by arriving early at about 11:30am. Good location, 30 mins walk to Bowness, Millerground Lakeshore and Orrest Head. We liked the food at Graze cafe, Rastelli's Pizzeria and Homeground Coffee + Kitchen. We liked the decorations of house and good selection of breakfast with friendly staff service. The WiFi was fast but busy at night time. One minor thing the no window bathroom's extractor fan wasn't working.

Super friendly and welcoming host, we had a wonderful time staying here. The guest house is in a nice location, which just takes 7-8 minutes walk from Windermere station. The room we stayed in was clean and comfortable, and those breakfast options are all great, can’t wait to visit here again.

Avoid this place. Apart from the acceptable breakfast, it disappoints in most ways. The only welcome is on the signs at the front door. NOT recommended.

The B&B that just keeps giving 😊

Really lovely B & B just a few minutes walk into the centre which had plenty of independent shops, cafes and restaurants It’s also near the Orrest Head walk with spectacular views. We ate at Tapios one night for delicious tapas and highly recommended them. Our second night we ate at The Pig ( name changed to Tilly’s ) and had their Cajun chicken burger… yummy! We opted for a full English breakfast which was not the biggest one I’ve had but cooked fresh and nicely presented and the option of cereal and toast as well Our room (2) on the first floor at the front had a lovely window seat which was lovely to sit on and read for a bit. It was also very spacious and clean. And lastly the icing on the cake was the use of the pool at the local leisure centre which was literally a 5 minute drive. We spent a couple of hours in there both days and had the place virtually to ourselves !! The jacuzzi, steam room and pool were amazing. Thank you so much for providing a break that was sheer relaxation

Our room was cosy and the bed very comfortable. The location is perfect, right in town for easy access to restaurants and bars, with plenty of lovely walks nearby or just a short drive away. The only downside was breakfast on the Saturday: my husband’s full English was quite overcooked, and my porridge was more like raw oats in warm milk, not creamy at all. Thankfully, the following morning’s breakfast of crumpets and scrambled eggs was much better, so perhaps just an off day for the chef. Overall, a lovely place to stay, we’d definitely return. x
