Never enough large towels!

Clean, great location, easy check in

My wife developed difficulty walking and climbing stairs prior to our arrival in Windermere, so the lack of an elevator posed difficulty for her in reaching our room on the 2nd floor. It's not a problem if you're able to walk up a flight of stairs.

The name attracted us, so that was of immediate interest. The location was within easy walking distance of a variety of places to eat, shops, grocery, pharmacy, post office, and the train station. Our room - #2 - was very clean, very well maintained, and well lit. There's a fan if needed, but cracking open the window was sufficient during our stay. The separate WC room with vanity sink was separate from the shower room, which we found very convenient. Although breakfast is not served, there is a very nice, comfortable dining room area. There were more than enough hot beverage options to suit anyone's tastes. The coffee machine options are amazing. Plus, there is a very good selection of short bread cookies and some fresh fruit available. An umbrella is available if you need to borrow one on your way out to tour the town. Which we did on several occasions while there. But, above all, the primary reason we really enjoyed The Dozy Deer and would highly recommend it is because of its owner, Beth. She was extremely helpful throughout our stay, and on our last day there, she personally went out of her way to make arrangements to ensure we did not miss our return train connection from Oxenholme to London. She was a life-saver on our trip to Windermere.

Would’ve preferred tea facilities in room.

Bit unsure about a guest house stay, but we had a lovely surprise, very homely, only met the lady of the house briefly as we was leaving, but you tell she spent time and effort to make your stay comfortable,plenty of places to eat and drink without driving, carpark very close but didn’t need it, always got close enough. Thank again Rob and sue

Nothing

Location very close to the shops and restaurants (5mins walking distance at the most), easy to find free roadside parking, room was decorated fresh and clean. Communal coffee area was an added bonus with Jura coffee making machine, fruits, biscuits, tea available from 7am to 8pm (it would be an improvement to open the communal room earlier in the morning, as we wanted to start the Scafell Pike hike as early as possible and also it is a good escape for others when people are getting ready in the room for 4) just a small suggestion :)

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.

We had a lovely two night stay at the dozy deer. The rooms were perfectly adequate and we will definitely return! Thank you Beth you have a beautiful place.

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.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Dozy Deer. The accommodation is beautiful, clean, well presented and reasonably priced. Beth was super helpful and very communicative, even before we arrived and we couldn't have asked for more. We'll definitely be returning next time we visit The Lakes.

Nothing! All good.

Lovely little place, and lovely hosts! Comfy bed, nice little communal dining room with lots of teas coffees etc, and had board games too! Easy self check in. Perfect place to stay if you’re planning to do lots of walking/exploring and just need a base :)

I had a fall and hurt my nose. Beth the owner drove me to the hospital to Kendell which is a 20 mins drive, waited for more than an hour at the hospital and drove me back. She also dropped me back this morning to the train station as she was not too sure I was totally well. Her place has been designed very thoughtfully and it shows. Clean place with coffee, tea, cookies and fruits on the house : what more do you need Will recommend it to all my friends

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.

Excellent location. Rooms were comfortable and clean.

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.
