Rooms at Meadowcroft are traditionally furnished, and benefit from a TV and tea and coffee making facilities. There is storage space in bedside chests of drawers and a wardrobe in every room.

This was one of our favorite stops on our recent trip. We all agreed, the beds were comfortable, the showers were hot, and the rest of the amenities were great. Elliott was a great host - giving us some advice about our next stop. Breakfast was delicious. With a pub within walking distance we couldn't ask for a better location.

The stylish and comfortable rooms at the 4-star Rum Doodle feature luxurious vintage furniture and original artwork. Benefits also include an en suite bathroom, designer toiletries, and a hospitality tray with fresh coffee milk, teas, and biscuits.

Wonderfully quirky little B and B. A very comfortable room with enough bedroom space. Loved the claw bath, this was in the bedroom, I loved this but some may not. The staff were friendly and welcoming. This little place was the perfect walking distance to Bowness for restaurants and Windermere for shopping.

Ideally located in Windermere, Archway Guest House is in the heart of the Lake District National Park. With free Wi-Fi and 2 free parking spaces on a first come, first served basis, this traditional Victorian property offers bed and breakfast accommodation, just off the A591 road.

There is no way I can say enough good things about our stay! Such a warm welcome with tea and lemon cake, amazing breakfasts, directions, etc. We did every single thing that Anita suggested from tours to businesses to restaurants and loved every one! Denis and Anita went over and above to make our stay wonderful, even a packed breakfast for us to take for our very early train departure. You won't regret staying here.

    I had a wonderful stay at Oakdene Apartments! The location is ideal, nestled in a quiet neighbourhood yet close to local attractions and public transport. The apartment was spotless, stylishly furnished, and equipped with everything I needed. The bed was incredibly comfortable. The host, an incredibly kind and charming lady, made the stay even more special with her warm hospitality and excellent local recommendations. Highly recommended!

    Really amazing place to stay, we enjoyed our 2 nights very much, beautiful room and so quiet on a night time. So close to everything Windermere has to offer, and a short walk to the lake. Breakfast was wonderful, made to order and the quality of food was spectacular. Would definitely recommend, great place and great host!

    Jerichos Boutique is a beautifully decorated and furnished house. It is spotlessly clean and the bed was really comfy, free on site parking is a bonus and is in a nice quiet street. Great location- only a 2 minute walk to Windermere Train station, shops, pubs and restaurants. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and served a great breakfast. It is a 20-30 min walk down to Bowness lake and shops. Had a lovely 2 night stay. I Would definately recommend without hesitation.

    location is great. walking distance to both Windermere and Bowness. Boutique property and the room for three was really spacious and not a bed adjusted very clean and stocked with all essentials. The name 'guest house' is a misnomer more like a boutique 4 star property. the breakfast was prepared fresh and to your needs Philips and Trevor who own and run this are great hosts . They welcome you and show you around and make you feel at home i also particularly liked the fragrance of the handwash 😊

    From the minute we arrived Debbie and Eliot were great hosts. The guest house was very clean and the room was spotless, the bed was so comfortable. Breakfast was amazing and kept us going all day. Great location and easy access to all the main places in the lakes. Great weekend and the Watermill Inn pub is 200 yards and had a fantastic night out there.

    Hosts were very pleasant, the house is quaint in a great location. It's very quiet despite being on the main road. Didn't see or hear another guest.
