We stayed for 2 nights as a small break as we were due to go on a Cruise which was cancelled due to Covid.

On the morning of arrival Ian called to find out an approximate arrival time, he also text with his phone number incase we had to get in contact.

Upon arrival we were greeted at the door with a big smile and a warm welcome, we were upgraded from a double to a king room which was massively appreciated. Ian made sure we had everything we needed in a comfortable friendly chat in the lounge and offered recommendations, I have been to Windermere lots so knew where I was going but it is such a nice touch to get personal recommendations and can imagine how handy this is for travellers who have never been before.

We stayed in room 3 which was large, good storage, small fridge in the wardrobe and had everything you could possibly need from shampoo to bathrobes. The room was spotless and the bed was comfortable.

Breakfast was delicious and hot, good sized portion to start off the day! The fresh fruit was also beautiful.

The whole guesthouse was spotless. It is within walking distance to windermere town and bowness, I did struggle with the hill on the way back up to the guesthouse (I’m 8 months pregnant) so used the car a bit more than expected but if I didn’t have to waddle up the hill it would have been no bother at all!

Ian was a great host, very attentive, made sure we had everything we needed and we’re comfortable! It felt like visiting an old friend and nothing was too much trouble.

I came with high expectations after having family stay here about 5 years ago with the old owners and I was definitely not disappointed.

Would highly recommend as a clean, comfortable, friendly base within walking distance to the town and lake side.

Thanks Ian 🙂
