Good location, room was a good size, had things like a fridge and 2 comfy chairs, why some hotel's only put 1 chair when 2 people staying in don't get it ! Good selection of drinks on the tray , fresh milk in fridge and chilled water.

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality. We were served a cup of tea and homemade shortbread on arrival — the shortbread was absolutely delicious! I had originally booked Room 7 for two nights as a surprise for my partner’s 40th birthday, but we ended up booking an extra night in Room 12. When we checked into Room 7, there was a birthday card from the Hawksmoor team and a selection of little chocolates for my partner — such a thoughtful touch that made the trip feel even more special. The rooms themselves were spotless, each with a lovely bathroom and very comfortable bed. I especially loved the L’Occitane products provided in the rooms — they smelt divine. I’d definitely recommend booking Room 12, as the balcony offers a lovely view of the stream in the woodlands behind the guest house. Breakfast each morning was absolutely delicious — everything was spot on, especially the fried bread! Helen was serving breakfast each day of our stay, and she was brilliant. She has such a great sense of humour, and we really appreciated her genuine hospitality. She truly made us feel welcome and well looked after. Thank you, Helen, and thank you to the rest of the team for such a wonderful stay!

great staff and a wonderful room loved our little weekend away here. the cooked breakfast was excellent and its only 5 minutes walk to lots of restaurants where we was also given discounts because of our stay here. the guest house is very clean. but need to add there is no pool or health facilities at this hotel. I myself misunderstanding that there my off been a pool or something but its all located about a 20 minute walk away where you can get free access.

    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.
