We love hearing from our guests and their adventures around Windermere and the Lakes. Whether you’ve come for peaceful walks, lake cruises, or local dining, every guest brings their own Lake District story – and we’re proud to be a small part of it.
Absolutely excellent and cosy stay for a couples weekend away. Great location and the owner could not do enough for us.
Hannah is a wonderful hostess. So kind and attentionate. The room is decorated with a lot of taste and elegance. A great moment. Special thanks to Hannah who has been incredibly caring and welcoming. We were under the impression to stay at a friend’s. Great accommodation. We love it. Thank you. Odile and Elora.
The host Hannah was fantastic, went above and beyond to make my stay easy and hassel free. Checking in with me on my journey there after a difficult trip and leaving me some little treats in my room. Easy to find central location, a real homely feeling, great for solo travelers.
