The property was well located within walking distance to the lake at Bowness. The room was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The free breakfast was excellent with the best choice we had ever seen. The staff were amazing, being so attentive and engaging.

Perfect location for staying in the Lake District

Situated in a convenient location on the main road between Windermere and Bowness, our stay was amazing. Rich and Ada were brilliant hosts, welcoming and was very helpful. Breakfast was one of the best we've had in the UK and comes with so many different options. We had booked a cost double room but didn't feel that small to be fair. They were cleaned daily and the bed was so comfortable. There is no doubt that if we come back to the Lake District, this would be where we would stay again.
Naresh, 4-night trip

Amazing

Honestly one of best places I have stayed. Such a lovely area and Richard was amazing. He was very kind and very helpful. Everything was amazing from the room to the breakfast in the morning. Definitely will be planning on staying again. Me and my friend really loved our stay and both agreed to stay again.
Alex, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A good location, great breakfast and friendly hosts combined for a lovely stay. I used the health club and went at a quite busy time (after work slot), I would advise visiting outside the peak hours if you can. Facilities at the gym/spa were great, it was just busy and not as clean etc as a result. Overall a great stay and will stay again next time i am in the area.
