Wonderfully quirky little B and B. A very comfortable room with enough bedroom space. Loved the claw bath, this was in the bedroom, I loved this but some may not. The staff were friendly and welcoming. This little place was the perfect walking distance to Bowness for restaurants and Windermere for shopping.

The lodge was so clean and Graham was so kind! Everything was so comfortable, and the included breakfast was the perfect amount for me. Graham also had great recommendations, so I truly appreciated that insight. My room was always nicely cleaned when I returned, and that was nice, especially after hiking all day.

Jerichos Boutique is a beautifully decorated and furnished house. It is spotlessly clean and the bed was really comfy, free on site parking is a bonus and is in a nice quiet street. Great location- only a 2 minute walk to Windermere Train station, shops, pubs and restaurants. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and served a great breakfast. It is a 20-30 min walk down to Bowness lake and shops. Had a lovely 2 night stay. I Would definately recommend without hesitation.
