A beautiful and unique B & B. We had a beautiful room with a free standing bath. Beautifully decorated throughout. There were a lot of stairs.. so if that’s not for you.. be aware! Parking was tight but manageable. We did walk home from town, but it was a bit of a hike after a long day. Staff were lovely and breakfast was wonderful.

This quaint property was within walking distance of Windermere. There is also a bus you can catch just around the corner. Our room was clean and well appointed but only had a bath which my husband struggled with. The breakfast was adequate and served by a bright and friendly lady. Check in could have been better by offering some additional information regarding the bus service to town and maybe some suggestions of things to do in the area or good restaurants to eat at. Overall a great stay, thank you.
