Great location. Only a short walk into Bowness and free parking which is a real bonus.

The room was spacious and very clean. We had lots of windows and a nice breeze in the current heatwave. So we slept very well.

All staff were friendly, attentative and really helpful. Breakfast was really nice and served with a smile.

We will definitely look to return in future.

A wonderful two night stay at Dene House! A warm welcome on arrival. Our room was lovely, spacious, clean and with all the amenities we needed for our stay. The breakfast was delicious, cooked to order with cereal and fruit options available too. The location Of the hotel is perfect for quick and easy access to the nearby shops, restaurants and bars as well as the lake itself. Close enough for a short walk but far enough from the main road to enjoy a quiet nights sleep! Couldn’t have asked for any more! We will return!

Didn’t like it when we first got there after travelling a couple of hours and needed the toilet only to find I had to go to the public toilets in town as the room wasn’t ready, and they had no toilets for me to use, I felt I could have used my room even though it wasn’t cleaned then gone to town and wait for the room to be ready

Beautiful guesthouse in ideal location

Lovely guesthouse with private parking situated just 5 minutes from Bowness centre and lake ferry point etc.
Spotlessly clean with very comfortable super king bed (superior room). Nicely furnished. Added bonus was a good sized fridge and large fan which we needed as there was a heatwave.
Breakfast was delicious. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating and allowed us to park up prior to check-in in as we arrived a little early. Will definitely be returning!!

Perfect stay

It was cold the day on arrival. The heating was not on at that time but did come on later in the evening. Was very pleased with the room, it was spacious, light and very clean, as was the bathroom. Parking at the front of the building but off the main road. Food was great but service not very attentive. The first night was bit of a nightmare. There was a medical incident, as my room was right by the front door there was a fair bit of noise. Saying that it was a rarity and was not at all usual. Second night was perfect. Owner even approached me to apologise for the rare incident. Perfect stay. Would love to come again.

Stayed here for two nights 9th/10th July 2021. We were very impressed with the location, just minutes from Bowness shops, restaurants and pubs and also lake Windermere pier for the boats. Extremely clean and well decorated throughout. We had a lovely room (5) on the top floor which had all we required and a very quiet room too. First rate breakfast, with good quality food, always a good sign. Our hosts were very friendly and polite and check in/out was quick and easy. Ample free parking. I'm sure we will be back.

Delightful stay at Dene House

I had a marvellous stay. Dene House is a beautiful big old building - the room we stayed in was on the top floor with plenty of natural light, plenty of space, and a very comfortable bed.

We were greeted warmly by our host who kindly let us check in early (after a call to check if that would be okay).

Our host and the Dene House staff were excellent and very friendly, breakfast was delicious (and vegetarian for us without any issues) and served in a beautiful room (with an additional breakfast bar to peruse) - and I felt confident I would be welcome to ask if we needed anything further (though we didn’t).

The house is also in an ideal location, just outside of the busier traffic of Bowness, but a 5 minute walk in or a 10 minute walk to the lakeshore.

10/10, would definitely recommend and would stay again.

Great little B7B in an excellent location

Excellent B & B, well located for central Bowness and all the lake trips etc, the dining room is small so they use a timed system for breakfast which is limiting but understandable, breakfast was good and well served and the room was a small double on the top floor, so a bit of a trek, that said the bed was very comfortable and the in room facilities were excellent, would happily recommend Dene House and would certainly use it again

Ideal B&B in Bowness-on-Windermere

An ideal base in Bowness-on-Windermere for quick access to the lake. Park up and walk with some nice restaurants nearby. The breakfast is great (food & service) and our room (#2) was spacious, clean and comfortable.

The only slight gripe(s) were toiletries not being replenished so the little slither of hand soap had gone after two days so had to use our shower gel for routine hand washing. The wi-fi is slow and intermittent but there is a backup (also slow) but usable but be prepared if backing up photos is important.
