Latimer House is in the perfect location for Bowness & Windermere. The property has 5 parking places on a first come first basis (the accommodation has 7 rooms) but the block has many free parking available and so parking was no problem at all.

We stayed for 2 nights mid-week, and had a lovely time. Latimer House was easy to find, with parking available on site and well located, communication ahead before arrival was helpful and responed quickly to a question I had. The room was bigger than expected, modern, clean and quiet, check in was simple with clear instructions for the digital locks. We will be returning in the future.

Not staffed, you receive a code for entry on day of arrival, all worked great. The room was clean, decorated nicely, had a huge bathroom with large shower and free toiletries. Internet was fast and reliable. It was very quiet. The heart chocolates on the pillows (it was Valentines the day after our stay) were a cute touch.

Part of road trip stop

Quick overnight stay. Handy code access for quick and effortless check in which we like. Room nice. Terrible car parking. Very limited space so struggled and was last thing we wanted after long driving. Otherwise would be perfect.

Great location and spacious

Great position. Very nice spacious room nice quality and outside area. Only problem was the room wasn’t sound proof because we was next to the staff room which had a washing machine or dryer going at 10 o’clock at night. Would stay again though.

3rd stay here for us

This is our 3rd stay at Latimer House, and it’s perfect for us. The location is good and the rooms are big enough. The only problem we encountered this stay was the radiator wouldn’t heat up fully so of a morning the room was very cold, the radiator probably just needs bleeding but in 3 years we have stayed here that’s the first problem we’ve ever had. The bed as always was very comfy and the tv allows you to log into your Netflix and Amazon prime account which is nice. There is no check in procedure here which we love, you get sent your room number and entrance codes an hour or so before check in time and you just let yourself in there’s no waiting in queues to go through check in. We will 100% be back again.

Christine was lovely. Accommodation was spotless Extra measures still in place regarding covid which was good. Breakfast hamper was very nice. High ceilings in room and decor was very good with a view over garden. Short walk to village centre and lake. Would definitely stay again. Thanks to all the staff behind the scenes.

All in all the stay was fine the location was great and we had parking included, just a few little niggles, we had no tea bags on our tea tray, only one bath sheet was provided so my husband had to use hand towels to have a shower and it was a little noisy when people were coming in the building and going to their rooms

Really difficult to spot property from busy main road. Key safe on wall by door redundant. Keypad is through front door. Lovely big room. Bowness is a great town.

Lovely and great location

The hotel is really lovely, well presented and modern. First hotel ive ever stayed at without a reception but it didnt affect the stay. There wasnt a wardrobe which was strange but for one night stay we didnt need one. The shower was confusing, if you turned it on fully, it was really cold and couldnt figure out how to get it warm. Location was great.

Cosy new year's break

We stayed in The Coach House which was lovely warm and cosy. It had all you needed for a short stay. The sitting room area was ideal, nice to have the space, the bedroom had a low ceiling so if you are tall mind your head, thw bathroom was spacìus and had a spa bath ideal after a days walking Parking was onsite and with it being the bank holiday we were able to park near the door which was a bonus The location is good, short walk (5-10 mins down to the bars, restaurants and the lake. The host was welcomng although with it being a short stay our room wasnt serviced while we were there but we were left with plenty of towels etc

Disappointed

OK stay. Bathroom looked good but there were no hooks or towel rail so nowhere to put towel near the shower. The electric mirror was completely useless to anyone of my height - 5ft 3ins - as it was hung too high. Heating was very limited, late afternoon only, so cold in the morning. No control over ventilation. Woken by front door banging late at night & middle of the night.
