    Very friendly owner. Wrote me lots of dog walks to do. Perfect location for the Lake, shops and pubs. Loved having filter coffee in the room as well with a cafetière. Peaceful, clean. Loved my four nights there and highly recommend!

    Probably the best location in Bowness on Windermere for walkable dining, shopping, easy long term car park andlake and tour access. Its an older building that might have been a BnB at one point but they do not offer breakfast which is fine...
