Lock in a great price for Dene House - rated 9.5 by recent guests.

to get started.

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect stay. Hai and Lan accommodated our late arrival and even welcomed us with prosecco for our anniversary, such a sweet touch. Hai was kind enough to point us in the direction of some live music and the evening cruise across Windermere to watch the sun set. The house is beautiful, and our room was faultless; we upgraded to the larger room and it was huge with a beautiful bay window and great decor. The bed was very comfortable and we had a great night's sleep. The breakfast was lovely and Hai and Lan accommodated our dietary requirements. The location of Dene House is perfect, it's just a 5 minute walk to Bowness and it's many bars and restaurants, but feels very secluded and quiet. Thank you for such a perfect anniversary stay, we will be back :)

Since we were here on an earlier holiday there have been new owners who were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The hotel was spotlessly clean breakfast was served in a bright sunny dining room were the owners took time to speak with the guests and offer suggestions on where to visit and providing maps,nothing seemed to be too much trouble for them. On this trip we stayed at two other hotels which were not in the same class! We would not hesitate to return and also recommend this hotel to our friends and family.

Russell, United Kingdom

Great location, and friendly staff. Nice room, and great breakfast. We will be returning again.

Neil, United Kingdom

We loved everything about this place. Central location to Bowness and just a short walk from lake Windermere. Beautiful hotel inside and out with lots of character. Our room was perfect....spacious, spotlessly clean, well laid out, plenty of storage, lovely decor, comfiest bed ever and great bathroom. Every little extra detail had been thought of to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Comfortable breakfast room. The full english was filling and delicious and set us up for a great day out exploring Bowness and nearby Ambleside. Hosted by lovely, friendly, helpful staff. Would highly recommend and hope to be visiting again soon!

The hotel has changed hands since last time we stayed but I can honestly say it has gone from strength to strength. The new owners are lovely and the accommodation is still up to the same high standard.

Breakfast time was limited to 08:30 to 09:30 which is not good for weekend visitors. We had the smallest room at the top of the house so a bit tight for space and lots of stairs to negotiate.
Central location, friendly staff and reasonably priced accommodation.
