    Everything. Lovely Victorian House built in 1897 with some original futures still in place. Very clean, comfortable and cozy throughout. In the morning you can enjoy fresh, homemade and a very tasty breakfast prepared by Cathy and Tim, who are the owners of this amazing Guesthouse. Thank you Cathy and Tim! We had an amazing time and thank you for having us. :-)

    Nothing really :)

    Tim and Cathy were really nice and welcoming with us. The breaksfast made by them was really simple but super tasty and locally sourced (home made marmalade was divine). Room was nice, it was tini but modern, especially the bathroom.

    It was easy to get into Bowness, and to get to Orrest Hill viewpoint. We parked on the road outside. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. The room was comfortable and, although the smallest in the house, wasn't pokey.

    It was a lovely clean room. Everything we needed. Nice spacious bathroom. They go the extra mile in their welcome pack, which has everything you need to know about the hotel facilities aswell as a long list of cafes and restaurants in Windermere. We met them at check in and check out, and they were lovely. Willing to do what they could to make our stay better. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    Lovely property from start to finish. Tim and Cathy were both so welcoming, very helpful with anything we needed (which wasn’t much as everything was there for you!). Perfect room and amenities for what we needed. Location was also brilliant - 2 minute walk into Windermere and 20 minute walk into Bowness-on-Windermere. Couldn’t recommend more. We would definitely stay again.

    Haisthorpe Guest House is a charming property, hosted by the very warm and hospitable Tim & Cathy. The room itself was beautifully designed, warm and comfortable; breakfast was excellent; the location a lovely walk into Windermere Village or Bowness. Tim and Cathy couldn’t have been more friendly, warm and welcoming - With lots of local suggestions. I will be recommending Haisthorpe to everyone and hope to return soon - Thank You 🙏

    Absolutely nothing 10/10 service . Will 100% be back without question and would recommending it to anyone.

    Fantastic location, very clean, hosts were absolutely fantastic. Rarely say this but absolutely nothing to fault, a great friendly service from a couple who genuinely care about your stay and maintaining a high standard of service. We stayed in the small double which should be called the cosy double as it was absolutely fantastic. An EXTREMELY comfortable and cosy attic room which is slightly smaller than other rooms in the house but provided more than enough space for two people. We loved how comfortable and homely this room was with a modern bathroom. The bedroom decor provided a real warm/pleasant feel and lovely little window view. We were also astonished as the bed sheets were the softest sheets we had ever had out of any hotel/b&b. I feel this guest house is very underpriced and cant speak highly enough of my stay here.

    Nothing it was absolutely perfect .

    I booked Haisthorpe for my partner's 50th , we had room 3 the Superior King room on the 1st floor. It was very spacious and the bathroom was immaculate. We were shown where extra teas and coffees were available if needed and how the facilities in the room worked. The bed was super comfy. We even had an afternoon nap it was so relaxing. We love the location and it's only a short walk to Windermere amenities and bus services to get around the lakes. There is ample free parking around Holly Road. We managed a spot directly outside. A warm welcoming guest house which we will definitely re visit.

    Spent two nights last week with my family. We had 3 rooms in total. All rooms were SUPER clean and the hosts were very nice. The location of this house is perfect because its near a bus stop and restaurants are near as well. A short drive (5min) you will arrive to Bowness-on-Windermere which is a very nice place to eat and enjoy yourselves. I contact the owners before our arrival to give us some more info about the place and how we can get around the area. Again, they provided us with all the details needed. Area is quiet which makes it a perfect place for one to spend a few days in peace and quiet. I will definitely return to this house next time I'm in Windermere.
