The room was lovely very spacious and clean, the bed was very comfy and the breakfast was delicious. We were given a parking pass and the carpark was a stonesthrow from the property. We were very close to the shops, pubs and restraunts and to lake windermere. We had a fabulous stay and will definitely return.

Wonderful B&B in a great location half way between the town and the lake. The room was very comfortable and had everything I needed for my 2 night stay. everything was clean and fully functional and they’d obviously considered previous guests’ feedback on all the little things like plenty of hooks on doors, shower shelf etc. The breakfast is great and you can choose what you want the night before. I’ll definitely stay here again!
