Upon arrival, our host quickly checked us in. The room was clean and comfortable. The property is conveniently located between the town center and Lake Windermere. We used it as a base to get to Helvellyn for a great day hike. The breakfast room and breakfast are wonderful and well worth the sitting. Overall a wonderful experience!

Lovely little hotel, bed was really comfortable which I think is the most important thing. The breakfast was also really good. The hosts were really helpful and polite. We only stopped for one night to break up our long drive to Scotland. If we ever go back to Bowness we would book this hotel again, real value for money also.

Lovely little B&B with parking, inbetween Windermere and Bowness. The staff were super helpful, and breakfast was great. The only small downside was the lack of sound proofing of the rooms, particularly noise from the landing. Would still stay again though

We’ve been here twice now (this is our second year) and I don’t really think there’s anywhere else I’d stay. It’s located perfectly between Windermere (for the station) and Bowness and the lake if you want to have a quick nip down. Also well connected to the buses if you want to explore more and didn’t drive down.

The staff are incredible - you’re really taken care of well - check in is later, but they’ll gladly keep your bags and take them up to your room if you arrive earlier by train, and equally they’ll keep some of your bags if your train is later than check out. They’re also always super friendly and ready to help you out whenever you need.

Breakfast - everything is good. Everything. Is. Good. I usually go for the pancakes or the eggs on the muffins with the salmon, but you can’t go wrong with anything they have. Granted, I haven’t had the vegan breakfast, but if the vegetarian is anything to go by you’ll be happy.

Stay here - but leave me a spot, I need to come back again. Deal? Deal.

The stay overall was very good. Limited parking space and can be a little awkward to drive up a small steep drive to park well if there are other cars parked there too in the limited spaces.
Main issue for us was that there is no separate bathroom in Room No.8 whic is in the attic.The bathtub is in the room with an attached flx hose shower with no privacy. Apparently this mentioned in the websites,wher this property is advertised, but I didn't pick up on that.
No issues at all with cleanliness, and courteous snd friendly staff. Location is conveniently close enough to Ambleside and Windermere.

We had a great stay at Rum Doodle, a friendly welcome on arrival we were shown to our room. We stayed in Wish, which was clean, well equipped and we loved the quirky decor and nice village views. Great shower! The only minor issue we found was the 4-poster bed was quite creaky, and some noise from other rooms but that's just the nature of the building, and it was very quiet overnight so we slept well. The location is great for exploring Windermere and Bowness, both easily in walking distance and the lakes beyond. Breakfast was filling and a good selection of hot options as well as fresh fruit salads, cereals and toast. Overall we would definitely stay at Rum Doodle again and recommend to others.

The breakfast was delicious and it felt so cool to have it in our rooms.
A good location and a nice easy walk into town.
We really enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend. Thank you for the best time.

Although we arrived early we were able to park, our room was not ready but we were given our keys so that we come come back later. Our room came with breakfast served in the room which we did not know. Superb breakfast every morning. All staff very friendly. 15 mins walk to Bowness or Windermere with buses available to other areas. Great place and location to stay. would definately stay again highly recommended.

We loved our stay at Rum Doodle, friendly welcome, lovely building full of character and a spacious room! We were served breakfast in our room which was such a great touch and both mornings, it was delicious!
The staff were very engaging and cared about our needs. We will definitely be back when we return to Windermere 🙂 thanks for a great weekend!

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.

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.

Room 8

Rum Doodle was almost everything we could of asked for. Was a beautiful building with off road parking available. It was located half way between the busy lakeside and the top of Windermere. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was a great way to start the day.

The only issue we had was in room 8, that we had booked, the bathtub was in the corner of the bedroom. This was against the slanted ceiling, which made showering impossible. This was not mentioned in the room description, otherwise we would have selected a different room.

Pleasant stay with a few drawbacks. The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable, making for a relaxing base. Staff were friendly and helpful—especially appreciated the lovely walk recommendation. Breakfast was good quality ingredients and nice, although the dining area felt a bit cramped. Unfortunately, cleanliness let the room down slightly, with stained carpets and hairs on the bathroom floor on arrival. Noise from the room above was quite disruptive, especially being woken at 1am. With better soundproofing and a deeper clean, it could have been a perfect stay.

Gorgeous Stay

Absolutely gorgeous stay at Rum Doodle. Staff couldn’t have been nicer, felt welcomed from the moment they met us at the door. The room was decorated beautifully, exactly what we needed for a few days away. All sorts of amenities and extras - the breakfast options were vast and really tasty. The only thing worth mentioning is parking is up a very tight small hill and when there is a lot of cars in it does get a little difficult. Nothing that would stop us from making a return though. Will absolutely be booking again in future. Thank you for a thoroughly lovely stay!

Lovely B&B in a great location. 10 mins walk in either direction to shops, cafes and restaurants. The lake is just a few minutes more in the one direction.
Car parking available.
Lovely rooms. Very clean. Most comfortable nights sleep I've had in a very long time. (I'd love to know where the mattress and pillows are from so I can purchase for home)
I arrived several hours early prior to check in and was allowed to leave my car whilst I went out for the afternoon. I was given my room key at this point too. Breakfast in the morning was plentiful and very delishious too.

We had a lovely stay and would stay again. Have recommended to a friend already.

Thanks. Sarah

Hostess wasn’t accommodating. Arrived 20 minutes early for check in and I wasn’t allowed to use a toilet after a long drive. Next morning , I asked whether I could have beans with my bacon and egg and got told no because that was only an option for a vegetarian breakfast. Lovely b&b but let down with the service

Fabulous stay with awesome breakfast

I stayed a few nights for work. The room was beautiful, warm on arrival and spotlessly clean. The parking up the steep drive can be a bit tricky and there was no space for me on the second night so I had to park in the next street. This wasn’t ideal but everything else was great so I’ve not marked them down for it. Breakfast was out of this world!

I will think about the Rum Doodle every day until I can go back and stay again. The most special place!
