1. The location is the best! From our room, we can see beautiful scene of lake district. Super love it!! 2. The location of the hotel is very near to the boat terminal where you can choose to go to other part of lake district or just stay on the boat to view the majestic scenery of lake district. (There were 3 types of boat you can choose to enjoy the lake district) 3. The breakfast served in the hotel is above average. Other than buffet choices, they also serve english breakfast. Eating breakfast with superb view of lake district was just fantastic. 4. The room. The room is spacious! We super love it! We were travelling to several places in the uk and we need to pack our things (we shop a lot!), lake district was the second last night we spent during our recent travel to the uk, and thank god for the spacious room at this hotel, we managed to pack eveything here, (we brought 2 big bags size 24" and 3 cabin bags). The tea and coffee room facilites is good and the toiletries given is the best!! We super love the lavender bath and shampoo set and the lotion! It smells fantastic! 5. Overall we super love this hotel and we found it very romantic, our short break or short honeymoon stays in this hotel was totally worth it!!!

Had an excellent stay at the Glenville House. Hotel was situated centrally between Windermere and Bowness on Windermere. Very short walk to either so it was excellent to make the most of a short weekend break. The rooms were comfortable, clean and well designed and the breakfast selection was fantastic! All food sourced from local produce and excellent quality. Free special touches like the carrot cake and white chocolate lollipop's for guests staying at the hotel were very nice to come back to after long walks out all day. Highly recommend this hotel for people wanting a short stay which offers flexibility to see and do as much as you can in a short space of time due to its location.

My husband (a senior citizen) and I stayed in Kirkwood Guest House, Prince's Road, Windermere City Center, Windermere, UK during 14 - 16 June 2018. We were visiting from Singapore. The Guest House is situated approximately midway between Windermere Railway Station and Windermere Lake (Bowness). The location of the Guest House is ideal for exploring the place by walking. Paula and Richard - our hosts accommodated us in a Double Room with Four Poster Bed with a nice view of the serene neighbourhood. Both of them were friendly, polite, hospitable, caring, and helpful. The complimentary, sumptuous breakfast had a wide choice and it was always served with a smile. There are a lot of eateries and souvenir shops nearby and all of them are within the walking distance. On the date of our departure, it was drizzling and the weather was not so favourable, so Paula sensed our uneasiness and she arranged a taxi for us to go to the Railway Station at a nominal price. That was a great parting gift!

We were initially disappointed with the room we were given, a tired interior with outdated furniture etc. and a shower over the bath which did not match the room description booked, which states that "all select plus rooms have separate showers and bath" etc. To the managers credit after querying the booking, we were given a fabulous refurbed modern room which aligned precisely with our expectations and treated to free drinks at the bar whilst a new room was sorted. As we were there for 5 days celebrating our wedding anniversary, we were quite relieved. The views are fantastic, the restaurant excellent and the staff fantastic as above. Only downside is total lack of wifi any where other than the lobby so if your taking your tablet to research the locality and keep up with the news, beware!

We stayed at Langley view Guest house Thursday 24th October. We researched properties in the Area first through various booking sites. This Guest house was reviewed highly and it is very close to the centre of Things in Bowness. Close to the Angel Inn and Roundabout so it’s really good to get around from here. Very friendly couple running Langley View, nice warm welcome and we were able to get in our room slightly earlier which was fantastic to do so. We had the Superior double Langdale En-suite. It was very lovely. The Proprietors were friendly and accommodating. Breakfast served between 8:30-9:30am weekdays was really nice. Couldn’t fault it here. Really worth a visit and very close to the centre and a very short walk to Lake Windermere. The Craig Walk way could do with more lighting at night. Very Dark return to the Guest House. Obviously not the Fault of the Guest House, but extremely dark with little lighting on Craig Walk. That said Would we return ??? Yes we would.

I was travelling from Manchester north to the Lake District with no specific place to stay other than likely in Keswick. When I discovered the road was shut down due to the flooding I decided at the last minute to stay in Windermere. Discovering Holly Lodge on an app, I booked a wonderful clean room close to town with a car park. It also provided breakfast which was scrumptious. The proprietor was helpful and friendly and the B&B is located right around the corner from a market and a wine shop and tons of restaurants. All of this for a price that was more than reasonable. I'd happily stay here again.

Myself and a friend just had an overnight stay (unfortunately) at "Rum Doodle". We could quite happily have managed a few more nights. The house is amazing to see, an awful lot of thought and imagination has gone into it. It is quirky and a lot of fun. The house was very clean, inviting and everything is top notch. Breakfast was delicious, plenty of choice from the buffet, cereals, fresh fruit salad, yoghurts, toast etc, followed by an excellently cooked full English! There is a breakfast menu with many more options. The location couldn't be better, close to Bowness and Windermere. All in all we had a very much needed and welcome break and will definitely be booking again the next time we have a "Girlie" break.

We had a very pleasant stay. The staff were very welcoming , pleasant, attentive and helpful. The food was excellent. The location is really good for exploring Lake Windermere. Our room was light and airy but the bathroom could do with a bit of an update particularly the shower - weak pressure. Also our room was near a large extractor outlet which was quite noisy from early in the morning plus a side door was banged repeatedly by staff coming in. So if I were to stay again I would ask for a different room. Apart from this I would highly recommend this hotel as a great place to stay.

We stayed in the Tivoli suite for 2 nights. I think it's the best suite from the hotel. The room was very spacious and cleaned. The decoration made the atmosphere of the room very romantic. The spa / hot tub room was amazing and added that special touch for our first weekend away together as a couple. The steam room in the bathroom was perfect too to relax before a nice shower. The bed was very comfy with lots of duck feather pillows and a large and warm duvet. The TV was very big with lots of channels to choose from (there's also a tv in the spa / hot tub room) We were welcomed with a glass of prosecco at the check in and the staff recommended us the best places for dinner. The town centre is walking distance too. We wish we could have stayed an extra night but the hotel was fully booked for the weekend and we had to change hotel for the last night. But we will certainly come back. So many things to do around and we can then look forward to go back to the hotel and relax in a hot tub. Highly recommended if you want a romantic weekend with your special one :-)

We stayed in the Windermere room for 3 nights and it was the best B&B experience ever! There was a wide variety of breakfast options and everything tasted incredible. Denis & Anita took the time to chat with guests at breakfast time - they were very welcoming and offered some really good sightseeing tips. Room was clean and equipped with everything you would need. You also get a view of the fells from the living room window. Overall a great experience and it is highly recommended!

The property is equidistant between Bowness-on-Windermere and Windermere townships, and is very well maintained and staffed. We booked the large room with the super-king bed, and were impressed by the size of the room and the amenities. It was really nice to have real soap after so many properties only providing tube body wash! Kudos to Rich and the team, including for an awesome breakfast range - the most diverse I've seen and you order the evening before so they can order the fresh produce.

Having read the Swallows and Amazons books when a child but never having been to the Lake District, I went there while visiting the UK last month. I wanted to stay close to the lake but away from the town and the Cragwood met both criteria. The Cragwood is in a wonderful location a few minutes drive north of Windermere town at the top of a wooded slope overlooking the lake. The hotel building is idyllic; an old, almost castle-like, building with a tastefully designed modern extension. My room was a large double room in the extension. The furnishings were simple but comfortable and the room was very clean. All guest rooms are on the second floor accessed by a single flight of stairs. The hotel interior is very well designed with several very comfortable seating areas, including two very large lounge areas with open fires in the old building. Outside the extensive grounds are beautifully kept and front the shore of Lake Windermere. There are deer and numerous other wildlife in the woods by the lake to add interest to an afternoon walk. The staff are wonderful and extremely helpful. I think many of the guests must stay often as they seemed on first name terms with the staff. The atmosphere was almost family but not to the point of intruding on any guest's privacy. The hotel's food is excellent. The breakfast is plentiful and ogf excellent quality. I would rate it the best English breakfast I have eaten anywhere. I look forward to staying at the Cragwood again next time I am in the Lake District.
