The room was nicely decorated, the hospitality tray had both ordinary and decaf versions of coffee and tea. Unfortunately there wasn't any sweeteners (I should have asked the owners). Nice biscuits. Nice toiletries and a white flannels in the glasses which was a nice touch. Lovely hot cooked breakfast. Great friendly hosts, Rob and Becky. I would certainly recommend this guest house.

I had an excellent stay at Ellerbrook House. It’s conveniently located a block away from the Windermere High Street. I was able to walk into town every night with a great choice of local cafes, restaurants and pubs.

My room was fantastic. To my surprise I had what looks like a new but very large bed. My room was completely renovated. New bathroom fittings good water pressure. I was on the top floor and found it very quiet at night and it was well heated. My room was made up every day too.

Lastly, the best bit! The breakfast!!! 3 days in a row I had the full English Breakfast. Really fantastic. Served out in a nice downstairs front room with fresh cereals, juices and coffee. Also interestingly enough even the place mats were good, made of local slate.

I’d stay again and so should you.

I had a lovely stay here, the room was clean, well kept and had a nice decor. I mentioned I was vegan and the hosts offered to bring soya milk to my room and adjusted my cooked breakfast accordingly. I didn’t like that the walls were so thin that I could hear when they turned on the light (with the extractor fan) in another room and you could hear the boiler going. When others came in late at night I was disturbed.

The B&B was in walking distance to Orrest Head, Windermere town and Windermere on Bowness. The staff gave lovely recommendations also for things to do/places to go. All in all I had a pleasant stay!

Lovely house, was welcomed by Becky, very friendly. Room was lovely, comfortable bed , very clean, tea and coffee making facilities, clean towels and robes. Room was light, spacious and airey. The was enough hanging and draw space and even had a fan, which we used, as very warm while we were there. The only draw back is separate shower and toilet with our room. It was just for us but leaving the room every time, day or night, you wanted the toilet or to have a shower wasn't for us. There was also a wash basin in the room which helped. Its just personal preference. The breakfast was lovely and very relaxed, we met Beckys partner Rob, who was also very friendly and informative. The atmospwe here in the house was friendly and informal. We Would definitely say here again just in one of the on suite rooms next time. We would totally recommend this b&b, house and wners are lovely, great location, walkable to most the facilities that Windermere has to offer. Great stay!
