湖水地方2泊一人旅

外観・内装ともかわいらしく、昔ながらのイギリス民家にお邪魔したような気分になる、すごく心地良い場所でした。アメニティも充実していて、オレンジジュースが毎日お部屋に準備されていたのは嬉しかったです。朝ごはんの選択肢が5つほどあり、短い滞在では悩ましいほど楽しみでした。 滞在中にボイラーが故障したのか、お湯が出なかったのは少しつらかったですが、他は申し分なく快適でした。

Quick break away from decorating

Good location 10 min walk to Windermere or catch a bus outside to Bowness-on-Windermere where there a few more shops and bars to eat in. Hotel lovely setting, rooms oldy worldy with very comfy bed. Nice touch with coffee tea water and squash replenished daily.The breakfast was very good set you up for the day full English and nothing too much trouble have as many cups of tea coffees and toast as you like. Didn’t see the owners much they just let you do your own thing but we’re contactable if needed.

Lovely building with thoughtful décor

We stayed for just one night as a stop off to somewhere else and the staff were extremely friendly and efficient. The breakfast was excellent and there has been thought put into the décor throughout so its a lovely environment. The landscaped garden is delightful and there's a very well-stocked fridge in the lounge so a nice glass of vino in the evening sun is definitely a must. My only gripe is ... given the rooms are so spacious, perhaps invest in some kingsize beds.

Bank Holiday Break with unseasonably hot weather!

You can walk from the station in 10 minutes and in the evening it's 10 minutes walk to some great places to eat in Windermere. We particularly appreciated the honesty bar for a glass of wine which we then took into the lovely garden. A great place to sit and relax after a busy day and before going out for supper. The location in Windermere suited us as we preferred to be away from the crowds at Bowness. You can walk down hill to Bowness in half an hour and buses and taxis can run you back up again. Some taxis wait at the bottom near the Lake cruise peers. The hotel is comfortable and the host Anthony is very helpful.
