Very welcoming owners, great location and the room was comfortable and very clean.
9.0 / 10.0
Absolutely spotless room and entire house. Felt very safe with the secure locks on the door. Comfortable large bed with spotless soft bedding. The facilities on the tv was a very nice touch, netflix and such.
My one criticism is that the bathroom was a touch small and the positioning of the bed makes it require a bit of choreography for two people getting ready in the morning.

We stayed as a group, so we had three of the rooms which were all lovely, spacious, clean and comfy. We briefly saw the hosts who were great and made sure we were happy with our stay!
The location is perfect… walking distance to everywhere we wanted to go.
We will absolutely stay again next time we’re in Windermere!

Michelle was very welcoming, very friendly and gave us plenty of information about the area. Location is ideal for getting to Bowness-on-Windermere and Windermere town and rail station.
The WiFi connection wasn’t great. Kept losing the connection.

In a fab location, room was large & well furnished with 2 large windows letting in lots of light. The bed was one of the comfiest I’ve ever slept in. The shower room was really modern plus everything felt very clean.
Only criticism would be not enough coffee/milk etc only enough for one drink really & not a fan of the little UHT cartons.
I would imagine parking can be an issue, however we dropped on a space on the street very close by.

Bernard and Michelle were amazing hosts, we stayed in the dog friendly room which was fantastic, spacious and clean. Had our own entrance via balcony doors and directly next to the car parking space which was a huge help. Our dog Peanut was a huge fan of the free doggy biscuits left in the room. We also were given fresh cold drinking water daily. We can’t wait to stay again, hopefully next year.

Great location – just a short walk from the centre of Bowness
Friendly, welcoming host (Bernard) who gave excellent local recommendations
Spacious, light and airy king room (Room 1) – even with extra bed made up
Spotlessly clean room and en suite
Quiet stay despite being at the front of the property
Felt very secure – smart lock and Ring doorbell fitted
Tea, coffee, and bottled water provided daily
Handy information folder in the room with menus and things to do
Room 2 (stayed in by others in our party) also very clean and comfortable
No designated parking – street parking available but limited and not guaranteed
Pillows in Room 1 were very soft and a bit lumpy – not the most comfortable for us
Tempur mattress in Room 2 wasn’t to our guests’ taste (personal preference)
We’d mentioned a special birthday in advance – would have been lovely to have had a small acknowledgement, though it didn’t affect our overall enjoyment
