Our first stay and we would definitely stay again. We had a small problem with our booking and the hosts couldn’t have been more accommodating - really helped us out. Room 10 is beautiful, lots of space, massive bed and a great tea tray! Parking was fine and onsite. Great location and the garden is lovely to sit in too. A really lovely place to stay.

Not so good experience for us The property is
tired and in need of a refurbishment.furniture in our room was very old and
Missmatched during our 2 day stay we saw nearby properties offering much better accommodation for a lesser price
It was also not clear on the website that breakfasts are not provided .
Im not a person that normally leaves reviews but very disappointed.

Lovely small h, with kind, helpful,friendly staff.

We had a lovely stay here. There is on street parking, and also you can park at the back.
The hotel owner was friendly and helpful with any advice you needed with regard to nearby walks and amenities.
We came with friends for a seventies themed murder, mystery night. The photo you see was taken in the hotel's front garden.
The hotel was also very close to all amenities.
The room was comfortable and we were well supplied with towels and toiletries.
I think the room was good value for money, considering this is Windermere.
I would recommend this hotel for couples or friends and family.

Arrived 15:15 where we met another guest in car park. He went 5mins ahead of us to check in. When we arrived he was sitting at a table outside. He said he'd rang the bell. We also rang bell. Greeted by Mark holding a baby (adults only?) saying \"Yes\" as though who are you? Taken aback we explained \"we have a booking.\" \"You better come in.\" We were then told, due to a bereavement the cleaner could not make it, so the room not ready and will be an hour. \"You can wait here or go for a walk. \"YOU DONT HAVE ANY OPTION REALLY.\" We then had to leave our luggage in an unsecure room with other luggage. The other guest had travelled for 5 hours and was looking forward to getting into his room, and having a cuppa. We were not offered anything!!!! We were informed mark knew about situation at midday over 3 hours earlier, but didn't think to text us. YET!!! On our last day he emailed and texted at 9am reminding me we had to be out at 10:30. Imo this text was intended to hit notification tone on my phone to ensure we were awake!!!!! We did not see him again throughout our 2 night 3 day stay, untill we were leaving. Where he stood by front door like some kind of guard ensuring you left by 10:30. The other guest like us was not impressed either, and like us won't be back. Yes understand unforseen circumstances! But he had 3 hours notice. Put tea/coffee juice out? You're in hospitality......Be hospitable? Disappointed as cheaper options were available at time of booking. Not impressed!!!!!!!

More of a hotel than a B&B

Very busy with several guests, several stairs to our room. Impersonal host who hardly communicated and seemed businesslike. Was expecting a smaller homely B&B. The girl who served breakfast was polite but breakfast was minimal.
Positive is location. Well positioned and close to shops and eateries
