Chose this due to the location And the benefits of the health spa We were disappointed that the health spa was not on site as when booking it was advertised but this has been changed On arrival the hosts are most accommodating and very friendly, Property is outstandingly clean through out . Breakfast has a lot of choices which is nice and very good quality My only gripe is not a fan of pre ordering and specific times

Best breakfast in Windermere 😊

A wonderful stay at this charming guest house. Our hosts Rich and Ada were very welcoming and gave us recommendations on places to eat and walks to enjoy in the local area. We had a tastefully decorated small double room which was spotless and although compact very comfortable with everything we needed including a mini fridge. Breakfasts were delicious, fantastic choices, beautifuly presented and fresh local ingredients. Lovely little garden at the back. Very easy walk to both Windermere proper and Bowness, ten mins each way. A lovely stay, we will return.
