Lovely hotel in a great location, just a few minutes walk into Bowness but when you enter the gardens it's very tranquil and peaceful. Rooms are very spacious, spotlessly clean and well equipped although the bathroom is slightly dated.
Breakfast was lovely and the staff were very helpful. Nothing too much trouble.
Would definitely stay again.

The accommodation was very good.
The rooms were like small apartments in the grounds of the property & were spacious with a seating area & a balcony overlooking the gardens & the bathroom was clean & well kept.
Nice & quiet position.
Parking for each room directly outside each room.
The signage for the hotel could be a little better as it is only pointing one way so we drove past & had to turn around & go back.
Breakfasts were really good.
Lots of choice with cereals, fruit etc & lots of choice for cooked food which was delicious.
It is literally 2 minutes walk to the lake side & boats & town centre with lots of cafes & restaurants.

A very appealing hotel.Tastefully traditional.
Gardens beautifully laid out;so many private areas to relax in.
Range of apartments in modern style too.
I had enjoyable stay in Junior Suite.
Dining room really attractive with very pleasing views .
Always a great relief in Bowness to have a place with great parking!!.
MINUS-The cupboard with the clothes rail is no substitute for a proper wardrobe as it is cold and musty.

The room was a disappointment. I was expecting a 4 star hotel. The room was barely 3 and the bathroom about 2. A very dated hotel that was more of a motel. Breakfast was ok but not great. Would not stay again.

We were booked for 2 nights at this property.
It is quite near to the Bowness pier and the shops and restaurants.
The rooms are spread across cottages and rooms in the main building with reception and restaurant/bar in a separate building. Even though near the centre it is quiet.

Staff is great and welcoming!
Good breakfast options.
The hot breakfast is cooked on order and rest is in a buffet.
All in all very comfortable stay and location can serve as a base for exploring other parts of Lake District.

Very friendly staff, beautiful area.
I enquired about the t.v. We only had access to bbc 1 & bbc 2 when the reception worked...
Staff were informed on two occasions but very unfortunately, it was already the end of our stay (3 nights).
Also, on our arrival to the hotel, on entering the bathroom, we found a very large crack in the bath panel so, this was reported staff, to make them aware of this, as we did not want to be held responsible as it was found it in this condition on our arrival.

Nice stay

Nice central location with lovely gardens. Hotel is spread around the garden and we were in the house which is old and in need of some upgrade though what has been done is good. Major issue was the noise as being on the ground floor every move made upstairs was amplified below. Hotel doesn't have a restaurant for the evening which is a shame though the bar was nice if empty apart from us and the breakfast was very good especially with all the fruit. Staff very friendly especially Dorothy and the gardner.

The place was lovely and quiet, staff were friendly. Good breakfast. Location is great within walking distance to the lake pier.
Our only criticism is that we were asked to book a timeslot for breakfast, and that was limited and later times were usually all booked out; we booked the small country house double room, and we didnt like that the room had the sink in the main carpeted bedroom, while the bathroom had only a shower and toilet.

Hotel is set in really nice grounds and has really great potential. Our room was very dated which wasnt too bad. However there were patches of mold throughout the room and the ironing board cover had mold on it. The room must have been very damp as the bedside lamps were rusty as were the radiators. Dead flies on the window in the bathroom- think this was missed on previous clean. Lipstick on the bathmat. Parking was great and its a short walk into Bowness.

Parking was outside which was very nice to have. No noises like you would expect from hotel rooms and landings, bedrooms were individual units so much quieter, relaxing and gave a feel of freedom.
Breakfast was fabulous as was service. Showers were powerful.
Only small downside were that rooms are in need of an update but not a problem.
Thank you all at Burn How our stay was perfect!

We loved everything about our stay at this hotel. The room was clean, decorated nicely and spacious. Because it’s not part of a main ‘hotel’ it’s like your own little holiday apartment. Every staff member we came across from check in to breakfast service was absolutely lovely, friendly and professional. The hotel is set in beautiful grounds and a short walk to the main area. We will definitely be booking in again!

When we checked in room was extremely warm. Contacted front desk and found out towel warmer was left on high. Also no ventilation or cooling available . Hard to sleep in warm room with no fan or ventilation. Was able to open window with no screen to prevent bugs from entering. Also the window that was open was available for the public to see into our room. We also left from door open with no screen to try and cool things down from towel warmer . Another room was not offered during our stay after letting the staff know of the situation. Breakfast was excellent. Property and garden were nice also.

The property is quiet and beautiful. The walk through the secret garden is pretty magical, with accommodating rabbits to accompany you. No kidding - we named him Dave.

Reception and dining room staff were very friendly and helpful
The only disappointment was with the room which was quite small. The bathroom had no wash basin it was in the bedroom. But the bedroom was very clean

Comfortable, Lovely Gardens, Convenient Location

Very comfortable hotel with lovely gardens, and good breakfast. Staff were friendly, parking plentiful, and walkable to Lake Windermere and the shops/restaurants in Bowness on Windermere. Enjoyed the birds inhabiting the gardens - get a window table for breakfast to enjoy the birds while you eat.

Couples getaway

We stayed at the property for 3 days. We got an upgrade when we arrived.
Staff couldn't have been more friendly, made us feel so welcome.
Afternoon tea and cake served each day.
Breakfast beautiful, so many options. So many wonderful places to visit. Great running routes.

A hidden gem, on arrival some areas feel a little dated this all helps with the ambience so don’t be put off. Lovely ladies very helpful at breakfast, choice amazing and well cooked. We stayed in one of the chalets lots of room and nice new bathroom, also liked you had your own marked parking space close to room.

Great stay

We had a lovely night here. The hotel is really clean with lots of character & beautiful gardens. Our room was cosy, the bed was really comfy & the shower was hot! Plenty of teas& coffees to use & good quality toiletries too.
Breakfast was amazing with plenty of choice of hot food cooked to order & a good assortment of cereals., yogurts & top quality fresh fruits. Thecstaff were all very friendly & helpful.
It was a 5 minute walk into Bowness or the lake.
Can definitely recommend this hotel.

Excellent hotel

I would recommend this hotel - the location (just a stones throw away from the lake), the staff were so so friendly and alway smiling and breakfast was amazing all freshly prepared. The property is an old building which may put people off but it was clean and well looked after

Just what we wanted.

Welcoming and friendly, our family room was warm and spacious, tea, coffee, biscuits, a great shower. Breakfast had great choices and it was delicious, served with lovely views of the garden.
Super close to the lake and town. We also used the voucher given to us for discounts on the boat trip. Would definitely recommend, we had a lovely time.

As a relatively small hotel, it felt a more comfortable environment. The staff were pleasant and welcoming. Breakfast provided a large rang of choice and food delivery was prompt. Getting an early breakfast had the added bonus of a view of the garden and wild birds feeding. Our room with a balcony was spacious with everything we needed. An easy walk into Bowness.
