    The location was perfect, being midway between Windermere and Bowness. My room was very cosy and had everything that I needed and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was also delicious and Ian was a great host.

    Room and en-suite toilet slightly small

    Its location between Bowness and Windermere. Bus stops nearby. Ample car parking area. Very technology centric - provide guest with tablet in the room. All information readily available in the tablet inclusive of check-in and check-out and daily ordering for various types of breakfast. Small refrigerator in the room. Affiliate with nearby heath centre. Outdoor terrace facing water stream.

    The breakfast choices were excellent. There is a choice of both a full English or continental breakfast. The fruit salad was freshly prepared and delicious. There are plenty of restaurant options within 10-15 min walk in both directions from this property.

    2 tiny niggles. The spiral staircase was awkward carrying luggage to the room but otherwise we had no issue. Time chosen for breakfast, this means the specific time your cooked food is coming to your table. You need to factor in a good 15 mins before this if you're going to eat your cereal/fruit/yoghurt first. Otherwise, you will have your cooked food in front of you while holding your bowl of cereals.

    The room was decorated to a high standard, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Great shower, and the toiletries supplied were lush. Breakfast was delicious, and the full English cooked to perfection. Ian was a fab host and extremely helpful and accommodating. The location was superb, and we loved Bowness village for the views, lake, and eateries. We had a great time and would highly recommend it.

    We had a lovely stay at Glencree, and Ian and the team were really kind. It was the perfect location, only a 15 minute walk down to Windermere lake and lots of pubs, restaurants, and shops. We were upgraded to the suite which was fab! Breakfast was lovely, they catered for me as a vegan with no problem, and everything was clean and comfortable. Would definitely return if I come back to the lakes (which I will!)

    The room was a little on the small side but this was expected and we knew this at the time of booking

    Perfect location and such a cute little B&B. You order breakfast the night before through an iPad in your room which is great. I even changed my order the next morning and this was not a problem at all. Breakfast was so lovely and fresh. There are plenty of restaurants and there is so much to see. S uch a great location. Nothing was too much for the owners, they went above and beyond to meet our expectations. I would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

    Could have done with another chair in our room as there was only one but other than that, can’t find any fault!

    Lovely place and ideally situated within walking distance of Bowness-on-Windermere and Windermere itself. Great breakfast, cooked to order, and lovely friendly staff.
