This quaint property was within walking distance of Windermere. There is also a bus you can catch just around the corner. Our room was clean and well appointed but only had a bath which my husband struggled with. The breakfast was adequate and served by a bright and friendly lady. Check in could have been better by offering some additional information regarding the bus service to town and maybe some suggestions of things to do in the area or good restaurants to eat at. Overall a great stay, thank you.

Pleasant stay with a few drawbacks. The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable, making for a relaxing base. Staff were friendly and helpful—especially appreciated the lovely walk recommendation. Breakfast was good quality ingredients and nice, although the dining area felt a bit cramped. Unfortunately, cleanliness let the room down slightly, with stained carpets and hairs on the bathroom floor on arrival. Noise from the room above was quite disruptive, especially being woken at 1am. With better soundproofing and a deeper clean, it could have been a perfect stay.
