The location was excellent ,only a few minutes walk to shops ,restaurant and the lake. We had a beautiful room in the converted attic ,tastefully decorated Enjoyed a hearty breakfast . A lovely touch was home baked cake and cookies provided for the guests to enjoy.

There is quite a steep hill to climb to reach the property ,which may be difficult for elderly or the less mobile .

Our stay at this charming guesthouse was nothing short of delightful! We were lucky enough to book a spacious and beautifully decorated room in the attic, which offered a cozy and serene atmosphere. Every morning, we were treated to a delicious breakfast that surpassed our expectation. One of the standout features of this guesthouse is its ideal location. Just a short walk from the town center and the picturesque lake, it was incredibly convenient to explore the area. Whether we wanted to take a leisurely stroll by the water or enjoy the local shops and cafes, everything was within easy reach. But what truly made our stay special was the warm hospitality of the owner. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed and well-cared for. Each day, we were treated to fresh cake, which added a lovely personal touch to our experience. The owner went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed.

It was our second stay and again we chose the smaller but perfect room. The extra effort Nick goes to does not go unnoticed. The biscuits in the room and the selection of drinks. The bathroom facilities. The fresh milk, water in bottles the home made cakes, cookies and “wow” the mince pies all add to that extra special trip away. The house is warm and welcoming and has lots of character it’s a small stroll up the hill (or down the other way) into town. There’s loads of bars and restaurants near as well as loads of nice walks and of course the lake. We will definitely be returning.

The property was in a lovely setting with a beautiful garden. Very tastefully decorated with a comfortable lounge and log fire, which was lit every day we stayed this December. Everything was very good quality from bedding and towels to furniture and furnishings. A very comfortable bed and beautiful bathroom with power shower. Great breakfast and homemade cookie, mince pies, cheese, nibbles and Christmas cake provided was a lovely personal touch. We would definitely recommend this accommodation when staying in the lakes. Thank you Nick for going the extra mile

The staff was very helpful and friendly We arrived late in the evening and the staff pointed us to a lovely pub to get some food .The room was clean and tidy,the bed was so comfortable the on-suiet bathroom was beautiful and quite spacious. We had breakfast and this was really nice and filling us up until evening. All in all I would definitely stay again and even recommend to friends. And it was quite central to town.

Nothing about the hotel but only were it was situated as it was a very steep hill and not to good if disabled persons with walking difficulties and asmatics which I am.

The care and detail to quality that the owner had put into fitting out the rooms was exceptional. The bathroom was fantastic beautifully laid out, quality fittings, bath and shower. Lovely and warm with ample supply of hot water. The double bed was also extremely comfortable and clean. Nice quiet room. Plenty of hidden extras laid on by the owner. Breakfast was also exceptional, well cooked and presented using quality bacon, sausages etc with an ample amount of food. I would highly recomend this hotel and will be visiting again in the future. Regards Andy R.

The owner successfully offers the best services to his customers and takes pride in doing so. Possibly the owner had had a bad day when we arrived as the following morning he was very amicable and presented an excellent breakfast.

Such a great find. The location was quiet ....just out of town, a short walk down the hill into Bowness with plenty of restaurants, pubs, shops etc..Host Nick couldn't have been more attentive.....daily fresh milk, homemade cakes & bottled water available each day on the first floor landing for all the guests to help themselves .Also a jar of little home baked shortbreads in our room to accompany the tea/ coffee making facilities. Breakfast was really tasty, fresh & locally sourced. Beautiful garden for guests to enjoy. We had a garden view room, on the top attic floor & it was very spacious.

It wouldn't be suitable for anyone staying who had limited mobility or disabilities.

We were greeted with a lovely lady who turned out to be Nick's (The Proprietor) sister and immediately loved the ambience of the property. The quality of breakfast was superb and the choice was more than adequate. The locality to the main shops was perfect as it was far away enough not to be in the hustle and bustle of Bowness, but near enough to walk. Nicks garden is a rarity in Bowness in its size, so it was a real treat to sit and enjoy the serenity of it. Being May, the rhododendrons and azaleas are in full bloom, not only in Nicks garden, but all over Windermere. Bedroom could have been a bit bigger, but for the money it was very good value for money. Nick left homemade cakes each day, which were delicious, available communally with a welcome jar of home made biscuits in our room. I would certainly visit again, hopefully with a bit better weather, but that's England for you!

I felt that the room could have been more thoroughly cleaned, i.e. the skirting had dust on it, and the shower waste perhaps needed a little attention.

Nice little touches such as cakes, water and fresh milk on the landing available for all. Breakfast was excellent and the choice & quality of the cereals etc. was very good. Only a short walk into town so location was great (with views of Windermere from our room).

This is a minor thing and not really a dislike of ours. The shower in our room was a little quirky. It has clear windows and I can imagine some people could be reluctant to use it! Maybe some extra frosting on the windows would make people less self-conscious.

Nice little touches made this stay very nice. A fridge on the landing with little bottles of fresh milk and bottled water. The owner also left homemade ginger cake out to have with your cuppa, and on the 2nd day , carrot cake - both were delicious The bedroom was lovely as was the bathroom. Homemade shortbread in the room was also a nice touch Lovely fresh bedding and towels. Breakfast was also delicious with good quality items.

My cousin who isn’t very fit struggled with the steep slope into the town, so anyone with mobility issues could find the short walk uphill to the property a problem . Otherwise it’s close to everything.
