The pool was a highlight for me, I loved being able to book to myself.I also loved being accommodated as a vegan. Their smashed avocado and feta on toast was incredible! Such lovely owners would definitely return.

The Guest House was minutes walk from the center of Windermere but it was in a quiet location. We also loved that there's a pool there that you could book for your own use. The breakfast was very nice, lots of choice.

  • Are you dog friendly?
    Unfortunatley we do no accept pets - only guide dogs. There is a place in Windermere called the Ellerdene that accepts dogs. If you call them direct you will get a better price.

  • Hi, is breakfast continental or full English? Many thanks
    Hi breakfast under restrictions is a continental breakfast to your room. When restrictions are lifted there will be a healthy buffet with continental, vegetarian / vegan options. We no longer offer the full English.
    Answered on 9 March 2021
  • Hi Is there parking nearby? Thank you
    We have a parking space for every room. However, when we are car heavy - we sometimes have to double park. We manage the car park very closely so everyone has access to their car. There is some parking in the village, some time or permit restricted.
