- Spike (10/5): -
- Mina (3/5): Not so great - Location is central Rooms was extremely small and definitely not 18m2 as advertised. I'd say it was 9m2 maximum. It felt very claustrophobic.

- Jean (9/5): Very good stay overall - Hosts were very helpful and friendly. Location brilliant. Room small, toilet tiny and shower also small. I believe there was damp on the ceiling, not good for my health condition
- Nikita (6/5): Good location but dont book if u intend on spending much time in the hotel - Location was great Bed was really small and uncomfortable. Pillows were horrific - we have both come back with really bad back pain. Can't have any hot food or takeaway- wasn't offered any options to eat downstairs if we did bring food back. toilet and bathroom were split on either side and were very small. functional but small. NASTY MESSAGE asking not to come back(not planning to) sent to us from the owners after posting an honest review. Worth noting for future travel.

- David (10/5): Exceptional - Great location excellent price and the hosts were the perfect couple thanks Virginia cottage for three wonderful days
- Darren (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alan (10/5): Exceptional -
- David (10/5): Outstanding Stay! - The hosts were absolutely outstanding, it is right in the middle of Bowness so ideal if that's where you are planning to be, the room was spotlessly clean and the four poster bed was comfortable. Absolutely no complaints especially for the price! Breakfast is extra but very good and definitely worth the price - just try finding anything as good cheaper in Bowness! No onsite parking but there is a carpark 5 minutes walk away which is reasonably priced for a couple of days although it does get busy at peak times so if you are planning on driving somewhere for the day it would be advisable not to get back too early. The toilet in our room was a little cramped (separate toilet and shower) and the shower room wasn't enormous but it wasn't a huge issue. It wasn't a problem for us but it is an extremely dog friendly place so if you have an issue with them it's possibly not the place for you!
- James (9/5): Great value comfortable accommodation in the Lakes. - Hosts were very accommodating. Room was very comfy and had everything we needed. Great location in the middle of town. Lack of parking. Had to pay £21 to park in town when we were only there for 2 days.
- Gary (10/5): Exceptional -
- Simon (8/5): Very good -
- Kelly (8/5): Very good -
- Michelle (8/5): Very good - Angus and Cherrie where so lovely friendly and made us feel welcome. Loved the B&B, beautiful rooms with a fab view from my window. Right in the heart of Bowness and next to 1 of me local pubs where I go sometimes when I come here. Couldn't fault anything about Virginia cottage.
- Michelle (10/5): Exceptional -
- Paul (8/5): Intriguing Property In A Great Location - Great location; comfortable accommodation; very friendly host. I’d certainly return.
- Gowrie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lee (6/5): Pleasant -
- Mark (10/5): Small, friendly and welcoming B&B with a personal touch! - The location of the accommodation is excellent. Room was more than adequate, providing everything that we needed. The breakfast was excellent, prepared by chef Angus, the owner. The only downside is the parking. If you don’t arrive early then you may struggle to find a parking space. That’s the downside of having such an excellent location. Angus does provide directions to the nearest car park.
- Martin (9/5): Superb -
- David (9/5): Superb -
- Ian (9/5): Met our expectations , lovely stay - Location spot on , breakfast very good , nothing too much trouble Only parking but nothing owners can do about
- Alan (10/5): Des Res stay for dog owners - Lovely clean room, great shower and our pampered pet Jack Russell was totally pampered. Don't skip breakfast because it was much better and much better value than the one we had out.
- Craig (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ryan (10/5): Had a great stay, would definitely book again - Lovely breakfast, plenty of choice, great hosts N/a
- John (9/5): A few days in Bowness - Everything and everyone was really nice. The room was very comfortable, and (we had the "suite") large. The location couldn't be better, 2 mins from the lake😁. The building is very quirky😁. Nice touches like fresh milk for your room and bathrobes. The spa bath was very welcome after hiking 😏😁. Great check-in policy! We didn't have a dog, but the place is very dog friendly, and we might come back with my daughter's dog! 🤣 The first pic below is the view from the room, and the second is from the Jetty Museum, about a 10-minute walk and well worth a visit. The lack of parking makes loading and unloading a bit fraught, but apart from that, nothing to gripe about 😁. On the parking front, the car park is quite close, and the 3 day ticket is very good value, about 7 pounds a day😁, compared to York, it's remarkably cheap 🫤.
- Rachel (6/5): Very friendly hosts for this hotel that is situated right in the centre of where you want to be, ideal for those who nee - Perfect location for walking to everywhere Tiny bed, room smelt of paint and no parking at the location
- Anne (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nicola (10/5): My favourite get away - Everything 🤩 the warm welcome the beautiful room the beautiful owners , the location .... Absolutely nothing, there is nothing not to like extremely comfortable and welcoming my dog and I loved it,
- Lennon (9/5): A fantastic stay at Virgina Cottage. Our room was lovely and cosy and we had an amazing stay. - Service was excellent. Our room was upgraded due to our amount of luggage. Our room was lovely and cosy and the bathroom / shower was excellent. All of our needs were met and both Angus and Sherry were amazing hosts. The breakfast was outstanding and we would stay again in an instant. No parking is an issue but it was reasonable in the town centre and very close by.
- David (10/5): Great night away - Lovely clean room with a little gift of chocs and water, amazing breakfast and lovely friendly couple, could not fault it and will definitely revisit Nothing
- Claire (10/5): Very Dog friendly accomodation - Great place to stay if you are bringing your dog along Accommodation was clean and fresh and the room was comfortable and warm. fluffy white towels and complimentary toiletries.we even got little gifts for us and Alfie 🐕🦺 for valentines. Angus and his wife brightened our stay with a cheery smile every time we met, they go above and beyond and nothing is too much effort. The dining area was great, with complimentary sausages for all doggies. The Breakfast range was plentiful and food delicious at an amazing price. Great location and payable parking or free by the ferry from November to March. Lots of eateries, bars and restaurants and shops to browse on your door step so plenty to do. Would not hesitate to return 😊 Parking and off loading could be a slight pain during busier times but the location outweighed this.
