The White House 5 stars

Bowness-on-Windermere

The guest house offers a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with a hair dryer, free toiletries and walk-in shower. All units are fitted with a kettle, while selected rooms have a patio and others also offer garden views. At the guest house, all units come with bed linen and towels. I did not take breakfast - the room exceeded my expectations. We stayed in the small double room so we could have a terrace - was nice to sit on terrace in the evening/morning. Location was fantastic. Minutes to walk to the lake where you can take boat rides etc. Also many restaurants and pubs close by. Definitely recommend this place!! The staff was extremely nice - I was able to drop off my luggage early and leave it after check-out for 3 hours. Perfect for us!
