We stayed at Newstead for 3 nights following a family wedding in the area. We decided when booking to upgrade to the four poster rooms but from the look from the outside the other rooms on the 1st floor are all fine too. It was very welcoming with really good breakfasts and local information provided! When we were there the guest house was full but there was still plenty of parking out the back and with such a short walk to Bowness and Windermere there is lots to do even without a car!

Jane,we absolutely enjoyed our stay in Windermere. Thank you so much for the amazing cooked breakfast in the morning!! The place was spotless, cleaned everyday, rooms were nicely decorated, felt at home..amenities were replenished daily..Jane was very helpful in giving tips on where to go n how to spend your day. Location was also ideal, you could walk to windermere and bowness..We would definitely go back!!

We stayed at Newstead on 17th and 18th May for our 10th anniversary. I booked it mainly because of the excellent ratings and the fact that it seemed to be pretty good value for a 5 star guest house. We stayed on the top floor in the 4 poster room. However, while the property itself was lovely and kept spotlessly clean, we felt it fell well short of its 5 star rating in comparison with other similarly rated properties we have stayed at in the past and feel it only fair to provide our take on what to expect if you are looking at Newstead for a 5 star break in the Lakes. Our reasons for Rating this below 5 star status are as follows ;1. Toilet Flush - Had to hold flush button for about 30 seconds to get it to flush.2. Water - No hot water at 7pm on the Friday evening,.3. Room lighting - dull, no reading lights other than bedside lamps.4. Extras - Minimal, for example shower gels not replenished over our stay ; only 1 packet of 2 biscuits per day between us ; no flannels or bath robes supplied.5. Breakfast - Cooked breakfast excellent. Disappointing that no locally sourced yoghurt was available with cereals, in fact, a small carton of Ski was given if a cooked breakfast wasn't ordered! Was surprised the waitress wasn't aware of what flavours were available and didn't come back to clarify.

My wife and I came here for the Easter Bank holiday weekend after reading all the positive reviews from recent guests.The hotel is very easy to find by car and there is ample parking at the back; and after a long drive that is just what you want. The house itself is very impressive and tastefully deocrated. We had one of the attic rooms (number 7) which for us was a great size with a tidy en-suite. Owners and staff were friendly and recommended some great ways to spend our day in this area of the Lake District. The hotel is conveniently located between Windemere and Bowness - just a short walk either way, plus with the weather being sunny (but very cold) made it a memorable Easter break. Would love to return to this B&B if we ever consider visiting this part of the Lake District again.

I recently stayed at the Newstead for a few nights and it was a pleasant stay. It's easy to find as you drive through the town and there is plenty of parking at the back of the guest house. We arrived early but it didn't seem to be a problem and we were checked in quickly. We were shown round the ground floor and were given a map and explanation of the surrounding area (as we hadn't been to Windermere before) and then we were shown to our room. The decor in the guest house is very traditional and it made a nice change to the boutiques and minimalism that you find in most places!We were staying in an attic room as this was the only room available when we booked which is a shame because I think we ended up with the smallest room. Having looked at pictures online, it would seem that most of the other rooms have four poster beds and high ceilings and are quite spacious etc which wasn't the case for us. Our room was very small and had minimal walking space around the bed and only had a skylight as opposed to normal windows. The ceiling beam got in the way a little but it was fine for just a few days stay. The bathroom was nice with a great 'P' shaped bath which was ideal after a long walk in the hills when it was snowing!Breakfast is served each morning between 8.30 and 9.15, it's made to order so you can have whatever you want and its cooked fresh for you which is nice. There was also plenty of cereal/yogurt/fruit if you didn't fancy the cooked options.Finally, location wise, the Newstead is just a couple of minutes from Windermere and about 10 minutes from Bowness so it's easy to get around for pubs, restaurants, shops, the marina and even the cinema!
