Located in a perfect location within walking distance of a number of eating establishments Breakfast and staff were extremely helpful. Had a room on the top floor with a vertical spiral staircase. Ask for this room. Provided parking which was also a plus. The rate should have been higher as one could not ask for more. Would have paid more without a second thought.

Great room, superb king sized bed, quality linen and pillows, excellent shower, lovely old fashioned look but still modern kettle, DAB radio, very nice room, warm too.. TV was good with all channels and netflix, amazon prime etc. The breakfast was outstanding. Shiralee was very kind and lovely as we arrived in xmas day itself. Another reason I booked the property was access to the swimming pool, but it was closed. This is clearly due to the xmas period and not the fault of the property, but its a positive.

Rooms 4 & 5 are on the 2nd floor (we had room 4), and there was a spiral staircase, which meant we could not take our luggage upstairs. This was NOT mentioned (I read the booking description several times) and if I had known, I would not have booked this room. It should have been mentioned, or support to take luggage upstairs for guests should be provided. The other rooms on the first floor looked great and would have greatly enhanced our stay. Anyway, we managed.. and it was "an experience". The other thing is that the breakfast room was freezing, due to just one small radiator in the room. I know another radiator is coming, but an electric heater could have been provided in the interim.

We really enjoyed our stay here, Shiralee made us feel very welcome from the minute we arrived.. she also cooks a delicious English breakfast!! Will definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

The room was decorated to a high standard, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Great shower, and the toiletries supplied were lush. Breakfast was delicious, and the full English cooked to perfection. Ian was a fab host and extremely helpful and accommodating. The location was superb, and we loved Bowness village for the views, lake, and eateries. We had a great time and would highly recommend it.

2 tiny niggles. The spiral staircase was awkward carrying luggage to the room but otherwise we had no issue. Time chosen for breakfast, this means the specific time your cooked food is coming to your table. You need to factor in a good 15 mins before this if you're going to eat your cereal/fruit/yoghurt first. Otherwise, you will have your cooked food in front of you while holding your bowl of cereals.

- The host, Ian, was amazing—always available, cleaning, and serving breakfast. We could message him anytime we needed. - The entire place was spotless, with a cleanliness rating of 10/10. - The bathroom was well-equipped with separate sinks, a toilet seat that cleaned you, and a beautiful big shower. - The bed was comfy, and the bedroom had a soft, clean carpet. - Breakfast was effortless and delicious, featuring a full English breakfast. - Check-in was simple and convenient with a code. - The innovative feature of ordering breakfast the night before on the iPad was clever. - Great location with convenient parking.

- The bathroom could use an extractor fan as the walls were wet after showers. - The pillows were a bit too soft for our liking. - Neither of the two fridges worked properly, which was inconvenient during the hot weather. - The breakfast room was small and awkward, which led to some discomfort for guests, like a German family of three where the dad ended up sitting alone and a larger guest feeling like they were in the way. - When searching on Booking.com and using filters for properties with pools, this property comes up even though it doesn't have a pool. You can use a pool down the road, but this felt a bit random. I try my best to give a full rounded review and I hope this helps future stayers of Glencree.

What a gem of a place this is, a real find in the heart of Windermere. We stayed in room 6, a small double but comfortable and had everything we needed. The host Liz was fantastic and produced a lovely breakfast each morning, nothing was too much trouble for her. This property is ideally placed half way between Windermere and bowness, just a 10 minute walk in either direction. Check out Baha in Windermere with a boho atmosphere and lovely pizza. The weather was rainy and cold ( not unusual for the area) but there are loads of bars, cafes and shops to shelter in. Fantastic short break in beautiful surroundings during twixmas.

We spent the weekend at Glencree and everything about it was excellent. The view from the decking area was stunning, with the sound of the stream just making it even more peaceful. The room was lovely, and the bed was so comfortable. Breakfast was cooked to order, which you choose on the tablet in the room and pick your preferred breakfast time the night before , which is such a great idea. The location is perfect, being 15 minutes either way to Windermere or Bowness, with lots of great choices for food and pubs. Ian was a great host and Glencree is such a beautiful place to stay, we would highly recommend staying here, you wont be disappointed.

Breakfast was brilliant, order on the tablet and any adjustments are easily taken care of by Ian, in the morning. The room and bed were comfy and warm. Amazing location, with an easy walk to Windermere or Bowness. It is also on the Hop on Hop off bus route for further afield. Nicely maintained, the host is there if you need him, and there's tea and coffee in the room. Parking outside or across the road is ample. We even managed to use the free pool access, with a hot tub and steam room to take away the aches and pains from a walk around Loughrigg

The only criticism that anyone could make , is that the rooms are a bit tight. BUT, that is it. I would definitely stay here again (and again)

I stayed at Glencree for 2 nights after reading all the positive reviews and what can I say except for what a wonderful guest house, it exceeded my expectations, it was spotlessly clean and modern, the host Ian was polite and couldn't do enough for you. The location is great only a 10 minute walk into windermere or Bowness. The breakfast is made to order at a time to suit and was lovely, the breakfast menu offered a good selection and catered for dietry requirements. I would certainly recommend the guest house and when I visit the area again will most certainly be staying there.

there is nothing I didn't like.

I can honestly say we loved everything about this property. It was spotlessly clean and we loved the spiral stair to our room. Ordering breakfast which I may add was superb on the tablet was so easy and convenient. The location is superb and we parked our car up and walked everywhere. Finally Ian was a lovely host and very helpful with recommendations on where to go and what to see. Definitely 5 star from start to finish

Absolutely nothing at all
