I did not take breakfast - the room exceeded my expectations. We stayed in the small double room so we could have a terrace - was nice to sit on terrace in the evening/morning. Location was fantastic. Minutes to walk to the lake where you can take boat rides etc. Also many restaurants and pubs close by. Definitely recommend this place!! The staff was extremely nice - I was able to drop off my luggage early and leave it after check-out for 3 hours. Perfect for us!

Lovely warm welcome, beautiful room, spotlessly clean. The only place we have stayed which was better in reality than the advertising photos. Attention to detail was excellent, down to the herbal tea selection in the room.

The location was top. You only have to walk a bit to reach the lake. The owner was there as we arrived and was really friendly. You get the breakfast (english breakfast or vegan version) from a pub across the stress but that was also nice. Everything was clean and the furnitures were really nice.

The room (No.5) was very spacious and clean. The location is also ideal (few minutes stroll into Bowness) and we were sold on the fact that parking is included. It can be haes to find a parking space in Bowness when you arrive later in the morning. The rooms are accesible with a handy modern key code. We loved the spacious bathroom and the comfi bed. 100% recommend!
