Rooms at Meadowcroft are traditionally furnished, and benefit from a TV and tea and coffee making facilities. There is storage space in bedside chests of drawers and a wardrobe in every room.

This was one of our favorite stops on our recent trip. We all agreed, the beds were comfortable, the showers were hot, and the rest of the amenities were great. Elliott was a great host - giving us some advice about our next stop. Breakfast was delicious. With a pub within walking distance we couldn't ask for a better location.

Offering quiet street views, DUNVEGAN is an accommodation located in Windermere, 1.7 km from World of Beatrix Potter and 37 km from Derwentwater. This guest house provides free private parking, luggage storage space and free WiFi. Askham Hall is 42 km from the guest house and Trough of Bowland is 48 km away.

The hostess Evelyn were so incredibly lovely, just as all the other reviews said. She really has created something special here. Dunvegan was just as big part of why I've now fallen in love with Windermere as a town as the rest. Everyone were so kind and we really felt welcomed everywhere. It was so gorgeous and so many lovely shops! I realized the last day that I missed to explore some areas that were close by but I would definitely recommend it all! Sure it could be seen as a "tourist village" with all the b&bs but Windermere still had it all: places to stay, restaurants, shops, grocery stores, cafe's, pubs, laundrette, library and if nothing else it is no problem taking the bus or as we did, walk, to other villages further away. Sure maybe a bit more expensive compared to bigger cities with the shops but I really find it to be worth it. And to help Evelyn gave us really great help and advice of where to go and not to go to not get stuck since there were more or less none returning trips. The breakfast were also really good and Evelyn definitely go above and beyond in my opinion! Thank you very much Evelyn!

Less than 20 minutes’ walk from Bowness Bay, Denehurst Guest House is a traditional Lakeland stone house built in 1898. It offers free WiFi and parking and an award-winning breakfast menu featuring Cumbrian produce.

The place is perfectly located right between the station and Bowness - both walking distance and the bus stop is also 5 mins away. Ken and Cindy are amazing hosts - very organised, have a well maintained guest house and extremely helpful. They recommend guests to write down the night before - what we would like to be cooked for breakfast out of a variety of options and time - We absolutely loved this system. Besides the cooked option, they also had a readily available spread. Everything was delicious. In the common guest room they have provided with ample information to plan your trip and they themselves would also provide good recommendations. Overall, a fabulous place to stay at!

    Jerichos Boutique is a beautifully decorated and furnished house. It is spotlessly clean and the bed was really comfy, free on site parking is a bonus and is in a nice quiet street. Great location- only a 2 minute walk to Windermere Train station, shops, pubs and restaurants. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and served a great breakfast. It is a 20-30 min walk down to Bowness lake and shops. Had a lovely 2 night stay. I Would definately recommend without hesitation.

    location is great. walking distance to both Windermere and Bowness. Boutique property and the room for three was really spacious and not a bed adjusted very clean and stocked with all essentials. The name 'guest house' is a misnomer more like a boutique 4 star property. the breakfast was prepared fresh and to your needs Philips and Trevor who own and run this are great hosts . They welcome you and show you around and make you feel at home i also particularly liked the fragrance of the handwash 😊

    From the minute we arrived Debbie and Eliot were great hosts. The guest house was very clean and the room was spotless, the bed was so comfortable. Breakfast was amazing and kept us going all day. Great location and easy access to all the main places in the lakes. Great weekend and the Watermill Inn pub is 200 yards and had a fantastic night out there.
