    Quiet location but only 5 min walk to centre of Bowness and the lake. Lovely clean room with comfortable bed. Great breakfast plus free private parking which probably saved us £45 combined. Perfect hosts.

    We had the most wonderful stay at Oakfold House, truly one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever stayed. Everything was spotless, the beds were exceptionally comfortable, and the whole house has such a warm and cosy atmosphere. Robyn and Chris were absolutely fantastic hosts, so lovely and welcoming and their breakfasts were simply delicious, with an incredible attention to detail. We would highly recommend staying here, it’s left such a lasting impression on us. Thank you for having us Robyn and Chris!

    Nothing - it was perfect.

    Our stay at Oakfold house was excellent and we would definitely stay again. When we visit the area in the future, it would be the first place we would look for availability. Oakfold house is a lovely building and the owners were friendly and very helpful. The breakfasts (we tried the Cumbrian and vegetarian cooked breakfasts) were cooked to order and very good. Our room was the attic room. It was advertised as being small and so we knew it was the smallest room in the building. However, for a couple it was perfect and I would recommend it without hesitation. The value for money is exceptional. The room was clean, comfortable and well laid out. Despite being compact, there was plenty of storage and an en suite bathroom. Good choice of tea, coffee and biscuits provided in the room. We had a perfect stay in the lake district and this B&B was a large part of our experience. I can't recommend it enough.

    This little gem of a B&B was exceptional to say the least. The room was to an excellent standard in cleanliness and facilities. To wake up to the smell of freshly baking bread was a real bonus as well as the delicious cooked to order Cumbrian breakfast which was cooked with quality ingredients. We enjoyed our stay so much we booked another stay here while still on our break.

    Poor ventilation in the bathroom, floor was quite wet. Car parking was very tight, not much space. Would have liked more selection for breakfast although what we had was good quality.

    Very good location. Room on the ground floor.

    唯一就是洗发水不太顺滑,有点儿涩。

    This house is perfect: 1. It is conveniently located, quiet despite being in a bustling area, and clean and comfortable. 2. The breakfast is sumptuous and delicious. Chris's cooking skills are amazing, and the ingredients are fresh and prepared with great care. I had my 10-night stay in London, I found the quality and standard of this breakfast exceeded the average in London. 3. The landlord couple are very kind, hardworking, simple and well-mannered. Due to an unexpected event, I forgot the check-out date and thought it was the next day. I left on the check-out day, which forced the landlord couple to pack up all my luggage and make alternative arrangements so they could accommodate the waiting guests. Despite such a big trouble and unexpected workload, they showed no complaint and kindly expressed understanding.

    Having to leave.

    I chose Oakfold House as my accommodation for my very first solo holiday. I am so glad I did. This holiday was a big deal to me, a huge confidence hurdle for me to overcome and I felt safe and looked after at Oakfold. My room was beautiful, spotless and that bed is the comfiest bed l've ever slept in. Breakfast was second to none. Excellent food and service from the very lovely owners. The location is also great, right on top of bus stops and a five minute walk into Bowness. I was so very sad to leave. I would really love to go back and stay there again. It will be my first choice next time. Thank you for such a lovely 4 day stay.

    Breakfast could have some more options with out pork

    Break fast was good. but didn't have much choices. the Host understood our preference and next day they followed exactly based on our previous day actions. 3 persons room was just sufficient (bit congested but can accommodate the luggage etc). When booking and if you are carrying heavy luggage as for GF or FF since there is no lift you have to hand carry.

    Oakfold House is beautiful! From the stunning garden it’s set behind to the charming interiors, made-with-love breakfasts and kind, attentive owners. My room was extra comfortable and spotlessly clean, and the added touches like the tea and coffee making station with cookies were much appreciated. The location is wonderful too - very quiet, but only a short stroll to the village a waterfront. Highly recommend a walk to Brantfell - it’s not a long walk but the journey is stunning and the view at the end isn’t something you’ll forget in a hurry. Thank you so much to Robyn and Chris for such a perfect stay.

Everything is clean, breakfast options were great, highly organized table service. They offer 5 star quality! They’re also friendly and accommodating. Thank you! We loved our stay and we will be recommending your place to friends.
