Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the spacious, clean rooms, with some even noting lovely mountain views and convenient features like smart TVs with Netflix. The inclusion of complimentary toiletries and a tea/coffee station in each room is much appreciated, and breakfast-featuring cooked options plus cereal, juice, tea, and coffee-receives high marks. While some guests have mentioned that shower pressure was not always ideal, the location, being a pleasant walk from both Windermere and Bowness, combined with access to a local health club, makes for a convenient and enjoyable stay.

Fantastic Stay, Great Hosts

cooked options ample cereal stair flights
The breakfast included cooked options plus cereal, juice, tea, and coffee. Breakfast required a walk down one flight of stairs from reception. Our room was lovely, situated in the eaves. I climbed two flights of stairs since there was no lift. It was a triple room with plenty of space.

i really liked how super clean the rooms were, so clean! the breakfast was also amazing!!! it had lots of tasty choices with local stuff, which i loved. jane and mark were great hosts and gave good info on the bus routes instead of driving, super helpful and saved money.
The heater made strange noises during the night. also, the shower pressure wasn't the best. It was a bit weak. the street parking was sometimes tricky to find a spot in.
