Great guesthouse and excellent value.

Great modern room, lovely and warm especially in the freezing temperatures of November! Such a great find in the heart of Windermere. There was no noise throughout our stay and free parking is a bonus.

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.

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.

Okay stay, but could be better

Positives: Room was clean and tidy and very spacious. Well located in Bowness, only a short walk to bars/restaurants and the lake. Plenty of free parking in the overflow carpark too. Check in was easy, no issues with codes getting in etc. Negatives: Mattress was quite uncomfortable, could feel a lot of springs when moving around, although bedding was cosy enough. Room was not sound proof, so heard every noise from other guests, which unfortunately were very noisy in the middle of the night - we were located on the ground floor so may have been different upstairs with no one above us banging about and shouting. Bathroom was clean, but very cold and a bit tired. Overall our stay was okay. The guesthouse was considerably cheaper than other b&bs, so probably provides a good base for an evening, but wouldn’t be inclined to stop for multiple nights again.

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.

Unusual cottage. No kitchenette. Not allowed food in the cottage. No WiFi even though the host put the password in the book and via text message. Tv channels are limited. Spa bath is a nice touch but not enough hot water to fill it. Shower was nice once the hot water was restored in the morning… Sofa was so worn it had zero padding. Broken/cracked mirrored drawers and bedside table so posing sharp cut risk to people staying. Bed was comfy enough which was something. Wouldn’t come back.

Short stay

Stayed one night but had such a nice first night we booked a second night. Would recommend. Comfortable and cosy. Easy and simple to use keypads instead of pointless waffle.

Lovely property spotlessly clean within walking distance to shops, restaurants & bars. Room very welcoming. Only issues we found the room too hot & the mattress on the bed was thin & uncomfortable. Would give 5 stars but unfortunately did not sleep well shame as the room & property was so clean & decor was lovely.

Property was in a good location not far to walk up to Windermere or down to bars and restaurants, small amount of parking. Stayed in the coach house. Check in was good. Cleanliness of banister there was settled dust, cracks in the cabinets. TV quality wasn’t great. Bathroom shower was good. Heating wasn’t an issue at all, warm in November. overall was a good stay. On the last night we got back late and car park isn’t lit very well my partner fell walking from the coach house to the car, there is a big drop which should be lit where it slopes down next to the garages, which did dampen the stay. Takeaway policy seems excessive after being out walking all day and booking that sort of place you would expect to be able to relax in the space of you wanted too.

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

Beautiful stay, fabulous hosts

We stayed in the double room for one night. Hotel was immaculate, parking was great, furniture in the room was lovely, shower room spotless. The location was a 5 minute walk from the lake, bars and restaurants. Although no host is on site, the hotel is extremely secure. We will defiantly stay again. Thankyou so much for a fabulous stay.

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.
