    Beautiful accommodation. Incredibly friendly and accommodating staff. Rooms were impeccably clean including the bathroom. Comfy beds. Lots of little comforts such as hot chocolates, heated clothes dryers (and they came in super handy!), power shower, blankets for out in the garden, umbrellas, extras for breakfast, biscuits in the room… lots of little things that just really made the Lodge stand out above the rest - and the garden… beautiful! Would certainly recommend and my parents are looking at booking here to stay later in the year too.

    Nothing actually, it was great from start to finish.

    We really enjoyed our stay at Puddle Duck, our room, in fact most of the B and B is a very nice quirky feel. The room has memorabilia relating to Beatrix Potter but also everything has been considered and you will not need anything. The four poster bed was really comfortable and we really loved the breakfast, it has lots of choice and was delivered at a time to suit. The guest house is also positioned in a great area, close to the harbour, restaurants and within walking distance.

    maybe it' was just me, but the mattress tended to slide on the bed frame so it was slightly overhanging when I woke up

    Best stay during trip to Lake District

    Breakfast was very nice and once again with attention to details, but personally I prefer full English breakfast, and also choosing from menu is quite complicated

    The best stay during this trip to Lake District. Very nicely designed, with attention to little details - feels like a very good boutique hotel! Owner was keeping the contact and provided info about taxis as there was difficult to get there because of train strike. Also it is close to the lake and one of two lively districts of Windermere. Garden is gorgeous and provides nice view from the window. I'd love to stay there again!

    The owners have created a wonderful, relaxing guest house situated on the doorstep of busy Lake Windermere. It is quiet and comfortable and has everything needed for a break in this area. The room was warm, bed comfortable, plenty of hot water and fluffy towels. The breakfast hamper, which is delivered to the room, was a lovely touch and all delicious. I can definitely recommend it.

    There was nothing we didn't like. The owners had thought of everything.

    The Puddle Duck Lodge was in a great location only a five-minute walk to the centre of Bowness. The bedroom (The Boathouse) was well-equipped and spacious. Breakfast was delivered to the room in a hamper ordered the night before. We both enjoyed this.
