What a pleasure to stay at this beautiful property, with fantastic hosts. The quality of the breakfast is top draw and without a doubt the best egg and bacon sandwich I have ever tasted. A short beautiful walk along the lake leads to bars and shops. We will definitely be back.

The place and rooms were nice but the experience was overshadowed by the bad behaviour of the hostess. We were 15 minites late in checking out coz i had bumped my head. She never offered to help while my forehead was swelling up, refused to give ice or anything to help and just wanted us out of the room. She closed the door to the living room area when we came down the stairs and made us wait for our taxi out in the cold..

What a little gem of a guest house this is, just yards from the shore of Lake Windermere opposite the marina and just a 20 minute walk from Bowness ( or a couple of minutes max by car ! ) Owners Susanne and Glenn are lovely warm friendly hosts and are very welcoming and more than happy to give you any help needed with info on the local area. The guest house is bright and beautifully clean with a slightly 'chintzy' decor, but at least it has character rather than the sterile corporate identikit look of many hotels. Breakfast choice is excellent, fresh berries, granola, cereals etc etc, all the usual, and the cooked food is delicious and freshly prepared for you when you go down to breakfast. Our bed was on the firm side but nontheless was very comfortable and lovely and warm and the pillows were excellent. All in all with the guest house very good EXCEPT the road noise was awful ! The windows were of the sash design which do not seal well even when closed so we got the roar of every car, bike, van etc that went past in our room, usually falling quiet around 1.00am. For me, this made sleeping difficult and was the only real negative to our stay.
