United KingdomIt is in a very good location with both Windermere and Bowness-on-Windermere within an easy reach. It was also in a very quiet neighbourhood. Private parking space was very handy although one can also park the car in the street. Useful and practical information about the local shops and things to do provided in digital form in advance as well as in prints. We also received a wealth of useful information from the hosts as well when asked. Generous portions of breakfast provided (there are various options to choose from). Eggs, toast and coffee all done nice and fresh. The rooms are clean and comfortable with central heating included, which was sometimes required due to unpredictable weather in April.
