Excellent dog friendly room

Lovely stay in the dog friendly deluxe room. Very comfortable, clean and well decorated room. The room has it's own parking space and is only about 10 minutes walk down to the centre of Bowness. Hosts are very friendly but leave you to enjoy the room in peace with the proviso that they are only a message away should you need anything. They are happy to provide any information on the local area required. They even provide dog bed, bowls and towel though we had brought our own. We will definitely be returning to this gem.

Should have checked my booking more accurately, especially re Room only. Would prefer B&B but it was a lovely place to stay, most welcoming and Rhian and I had had a busy and enjoyable few days, visiting the Beatrix Potter Attraction, the Lakeside Aquarium, undertaking a Lake cruise, visited the Lakeland Motor Museum and at beautiful and sunny (on the day) Keswick, the Derwent Pencil Museum. All within 20 miles!

We had such a lovely welcome from the host who showed us to our room and gave tips for dinner and drinks nearby. The room was perfect for our needs, the location was ideal and we left wishing we had booked for longer. Will definitely be back!

What a place!

Incredible stay, our hosts were fantastic and made us feel really welcome. We’re just sad we didn’t stay longer! Room is finished to a high standard and just utterly spotless. All of the little touches were appreciated, even a booklet with information of the local area with food menus. We can’t wait to come back.
