A wonderful two night stay at Dene House! A warm welcome on arrival. Our room was lovely, spacious, clean and with all the amenities we needed for our stay. The breakfast was delicious, cooked to order with cereal and fruit options available too. The location Of the hotel is perfect for quick and easy access to the nearby shops, restaurants and bars as well as the lake itself. Close enough for a short walk but far enough from the main road to enjoy a quiet nights sleep! Couldn’t have asked for any more! We will return!

Great B and B

A big misunderstanding on our check in was dealt with very well once the owners realised the issue. It was a big issue, but, as I say dealt with exremely competently. A lovely b and b and very fresh tasty breakfasts are served by friendly owners/staff.

Beautiful guesthouse in ideal location

Lovely guesthouse with private parking situated just 5 minutes from Bowness centre and lake ferry point etc. Spotlessly clean with very comfortable super king bed (superior room). Nicely furnished. Added bonus was a good sized fridge and large fan which we needed as there was a heatwave. Breakfast was delicious. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating and allowed us to park up prior to check-in in as we arrived a little early. Will definitely be returning!!

Friendly hosts with efficient service Lovely fresh breakfast - working distance from amenities + parking on site etc Only negative for is was the room bed etc was not made up daily ( we were in here six nights in total ) and other places we have stayed do this. We did however get fresh sheets and towels part way through our stay Which was appreciated - thank you an overall excellent stay

6/10 Okay

Didn’t like it when we first got there after travelling a couple of hours and needed the toilet only to find I had to go to the public toilets in town as the room wasn’t ready, and they had no toilets for me to use, I felt I could have used my room even though it wasn’t cleaned then gone to town and wait for the room to be ready

On arrival the host was very charming and went out of her way to give us as much information about our accommodation and resort. It was a 5 minute walk into Windermere Town and the lake. Our room was number 6 and was at the top of the property, very pleasant and bed and pillows were extremely comfy. Breakfast was OK, not a lot of choice but adequate and cooked perfectly. For the price of the room it could do with a few upgrades especially the bathroom. Overall it was very good and we would definitely stay again😍
