    - The location is perfect! 3 min walk from Windermere Station to get either bus or train. 3 min walk to Orrest Head path, so easy to reach for a morning light walk! Within 5 min walk to the main grocery stores and cafes in Windermere town. - The room is perfect! A bedroom with its own desk and a sofa for reading. It was attached with a living room (including a TV, a CD player, a tea table, a big sofa, and a swivel sofa) with French windows facing the backyard garden - which is huge and pleasant for yoga and hiking warm-up! The whole floor has its own underfloor heating including the bathroom! The most exciting thing is we have the chance to customize our own English breakfast, including vegetarian choices - very fresh and compatible picks of fruit salad! - The host is very kind and careful and cheerful! I was not imagining a host to be our tour guide! She provided us the details for rendezvous and secret lanes to reach the greatest scenery. She is also very careful about giving inductions about the facilities in the room! She is just amazing!!

    We loved this gem of a place! Fantastic location; very close to railway station, bus stop, excellent supermarket and pubs/restaurants. Fabulous suite including gorgeous sitting room overlooking beautiful garden. The owner (Alena) was a lovely lady; we had interesting chats and she gave us lots of tips and delicious breakfasts. Thank you Alena :)

    Annesdale House is a dream. It's just a few minutes walk from the train station but a total oasis. The garden is rich and verdant and magical. Breakfast is delicious. The room was so clean and comfortable. The owners are so kind, thoughtful, and helpful. Do not hesitate to book here. It was our favorite stay in England. I wish we could've stayed longer!

    Nothing! I can be a severe critic but could find nothing to fault this exceptional accommodation and host. I only wish I had taken some photos to show.

    Everything about Annesdale house including Alena, the Host, is exceptional! From the amazing Fruit salad to the cooked breakfast the food was excellent. Alena's knowledge of the area really made our trip as we visited so many interesting places without ever using the car!!! The accommodation, which combines the best of B&B and Air B & B facilities, is a five minute walk from the Bus station but very quiet and peaceful. Alena has exceptional attention to detail and whilst being very attentive and entertaining gives you room to " do your own thing". Our accommodation consisted of a large bedroom with ensuite plus lounge with comfy seating ( including a Sofa bed if required) and a Smart TV. Best ever!

    Literally the only thing I would change would have been a bath bomb or similar so we could have had a bubble bath in the big bath, but it's on us for not planning ahead, really.

    The host was very friendly and accommodating, the breakfast was well cooked and the recommendations for local travel were perfect. The room was very clean, well presented and nicely decorated. We appreciated the random selection of CDs available and relaxing in front of the big windows with rain in the background and Jazz playing was beautiful.
