    Very comfortable family room on top floor, easy access following instructions sent. We only stayed one night so didn’t see the host. Easy walking distance to nearby shops also walked down to Bowness catching the local bus back up the hill to come back. We ate out so didn’t use the down stairs dining room available for you to eat your own meals / takeouts in.

    The location is excellent and just a short walk into town. The room has limited space but very clean and tidy. The bed is comfortable and there is a nice common area with complimentary tea, coffee, and board games. We ran into a problem with our shower, but Beth was very friendly, responsive and communicative and solved the issue promptly. Would definitely come back in the future.

    There is no on site parking, however parking is plentiful (and free) on surrounding streets.

    A very cosy and comfortable room. Tea and good coffee making facilities on tap all day in a guest room downstairs. Good, clear instructions on how to access keys on arrival. Lots of thoughtful extras like advice on various options to visit for breakfast in local area, good local walks to do, umbrellas available for guests to use and also cake left for guests in the afternoon!!

    Breakfast would have made the stay a 10/10 and is the only reason marked down for facilities. Although we knew this when booking so not a problem.

    Perfect place perfect location perfect host. Ideal tor what we needed. Would stay again.

    The bathroom in our room was a bit small but everything worked fine and not really an issue for a 2 nights' stay.

    Very clean and quiet, with a good feel throughout. Loved the little downstairs area with complimentary tea and coffee and all the little touches. The owner was friendly and very communicative with regards to our Sunday afternoon arrival.

    Very minor comments. Some more storage in the room would be useful and perhaps the downstairs room open a little later.

    It was cozy, clean and homely. Lots of nice simple touches to help make the stay more enjoyable.

    Street has a lot of cars parked. It’s also a bit of a hike if you’re going into Bowness

    Lovely clean, comfortable and welcoming accommodation. Arrival was very easy although parking to unload was difficult (there is a car park a few hundred meters away).
