    The walk back up to the hotel is up hill and after a few pints feels hard , however it's only about 15 mins so you can stop for another drink on the way back!

    Lovely house just Inbetween Bowness and Windermere. Lovely hosts with a fabulous cooked breakfast included. Super comfy bed , home cooked cakes and local produce in whatever you fancied for breakfast! Our room, number 3 was gorgeous, a four poster bed and whirlpool bath tub ! Fab choice of coffee and teas and fresh milk and water in the fridge. I would highly recommend staying here , superb!

    What's not to like I would say. There is plenty of parking ,location is bang in the middle of local area making it easy to get about by walking.

    Breakfast was AAA star can't get higher, never left out in the !morning with a full tummy and quality was great,cooked to perfection.The room was better than I was expecting, I can see why they are rated highly. Bathroom was clean bright and airy.

    The only fault I can pick was that we were in the front room and the outside lights were quite bright and was hard to sleep.

    Our stay was absolutely fabulous ! Cannot fault this place at all! The hosts were fantastic so friendly and helpful. We had handmade treats in our room on arrival, and freshly homemade baked bread and muffins for breakfast in the morning alongside our cooked breakky! We loved everything about this place and will 100% be coming back for longer ! They had a gorgeous cat onsite called Lola who was so cute !!
