Guest Reviews
- Dovile (10/5): Everything was perfect - would stay again - Really enjoyed my stay. Fantastic location right in the centre of town and quiet at the same time. Great facilities, where everything has been thought through - the guesthouse was very clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay again.
- Ryan (7/5): -
- Beverley (7/5): Very enjoyable - The location was good for trains and buses. Curtains on window in room would have helped us to sleep longer as it was light at 5.30. Didn,t like bidet toilet.
- Debbie (10/5): Absolutely brilliant little find cannot wait to come back - Was close to shops bars restaurants and train station, very quiet and easy self check in. Room was immaculately clean we loved it
- angela (9/5): Superb little Guest house in the centre of Windermere - Beautifully decorated. Spotlessly clean and walking distance to shops/bars/restaurants Nothing!
- Jiaheng (10/5): -
- Jiaheng (10/5): -
- Denise (9/5): - l'endroit où est situé le Cottage près de la gare de train et des autobus. La tranquillité de l'auberge. Le bon matelas, la qualité serviettes, la properté. Je n'ai pas eu la chambre que j'avais réservée en raison d'une fuite au plafond, mais cela était hors de contrôle des propriétaires. Une fois la fuite réparée, ils m'ont offert de changer de chambre mais je me suis habituée à celle que j'avais.
- Chantelle Grey (7/5): Cozy and comfortable stay - Very comfortable and clean space, check-in was easy and we didn't meet or see any staff during our stay. The room was rather small, it would have been nice to have somewhere to keep out luggage on the day of departure
- Joanna (10/5): - Great facilities easy check in Great communication! None
- Shubhanker (9/5): -
- Rukia (8/5): Would definitely recommend and will come - - Location was great, right next to the train station and in the city center. - Room was clean, cosy and included everything we needed (great shower, toiletries, fridge, great tv that you can connect to, comfy mattress - Tissue rolls were restocked and bins were emptied daily - We were allowed to checkin 1 hour early at no cost and the property access was very smooth and straight forward - There’s place to leave your luggage while you enjoy your last day before heading home (always a plus) - Cozy living room area to sit and chill, very useful when the weather was a bit dull and it helped us meet new people at the property - I would have appreciated getting fresh towels (not daily but maybe every other day). We stayed for 4 days and I don’t think the towels were changed - The pillows weren’t to comfy, they were too soft. (they were clean and new though)
- mark (10/5): -
- Zvi (9/5): מומלץ - מיקום, שרות מיטה צרה מדי לזוג
- Robert (7/5): -
- Roger (7/5): Disappointing - Nothing Didn't like room 11, dirty uneven floor, bed too near bathroom door. No way a "deluxe room" old furniture. And the bed is dangerous, I sat up in bed to go to the bathroom and the mattress literally threw me into the door. It's a dirty dusty 4 poster bed.
- Ronnie (7/5): Pleasant stay, no problems - Everything was fine, just noticed mood or fungis in the shower. Location good, quiet. Perfect Mood in bathroom
- RUOYU (10/5): 一切都很好 - 非常漂亮的旅馆
- Naomi (7/5): Top verblijf gehad! - Schoon, rustig (ik denk dat ik de enige was), dichtbij het station. Ook veel eetgelegenheden in de buurt. Het inchecken met de sleutelkluisjes is ook top! Geen opmerkingen
- Patrycja (10/5): -
- Mr Scott (9/5): Great stay. - The room was very good and the bed very comfortable.
- Riccardo (9/5): We enjoyed staying in this flat: we were 2 Italian couples and greatly appreciated the atmosphere in Windermere. We also - I liked the structure and the 2 bedrooms were very comfortable and cosy. The toilet was very well equipped most of all with the most recent type of watercloset. Nothing. Everything was fine.
- MINGYI (10/5): - Close to train station, clean room, efficient communication Room a bit small but totally acceptable for the price
- Hannah (9/5): Perfect location, well priced and comfy bed - Location, convenience, free parking. Room facilities were excellent and the bed was very comfy. The room was big and airy and nice and the ceilings were huge but that meant there were some cobwebs in the corner of the rooms, understandably.
- Yao (10/5): -
- Nuchanard (8/5): -
- Chloe (8/5): Great location and great room - Walls were thin and so the people next to us were so loud and didn’t respect the 10pm quiet time. It was a shame.
- Preslav (7/5): -
- Zihan (9/5): - 停车方便 check in也很方便 水龙头调节方便 有智能马桶很棒 房间虽小 但是什么设施都有 淋浴也很舒服 上楼没有电梯如果有大行李箱需要自己拎上去 床比较小
- Liandra (9/5): - Lovely place and great location N/A
- Geramay (9/5): -
- Karen (6/5): - The member of staff was attentive and provided a good breakfast. On check out day, you can store your luggage and collect it later. The location was very handy for the train station, local buses, shops and vicinity for Bowness-on-Windermere. Cleanliness needed attention in some areas. Carpets and skirting boards were dirty. Cobwebs in lots of corners and on ceilings. TV remote control didn't work and was very dirty. Bathroom had a "damp dog" odour. Pedal bin in bathroom didn't work. Window in room was double glazed and closed but somehow let a draught in. The fridge in the room was problematic for sleeping due to the electrical running sounds it made. Key for room was bent and had to be wiggled a lot in the lock to open the door. The room looked marginally different to the photo advertised on the website.
- Stephen (8/5): -
- Margot (8/5): Enjoyed stay and would definitely return - Clean comfortable and location was good Lovely breakfast We would return Owners did not speak good English Kettle in room was broken Toilet was in Chinese to do all its fancy things and had no English details so sprayed water all over floor if used so we switched off
- Andrew (9/5): - The cottage is a great place to stay located in central Windermere.The staff are very helpful and the breakfasts are first class .
- joanne (10/5): -
- Mary (6/5): - The bathroom. Japanese toilet especially. The room was quite dusty.
- Roberto (9/5): -
- Meirong (9/5): -
- Sally (9/5): Lovely 2 night break in a quirky comfy guest house. - Great location for Windermere. On site parking and a great breakfast. Room was clean , comfortable and ideal for a solo traveller. Nothing I can think of.
- Mick (7/5): - Room was very spacious, queen size bed was very comfy, bathroom was clean n spacious, breakfast was ample and well cooked. Had to phone them for key safe code they had forgotten to send us it, breakfast room was very smeetchy i think the extractor in kitchen (if there is one) was'nt working which was a tad unpleasant while eating.
- Pavin (10/5): - One of the best stay you will find in windermere. I guarantee you will like it Nothing to be frank.
- Lilla (10/5): -
- keithl (8/5): - Comfortable bed and the staff and breakfast were good The fixtures, fittings and decoration in the room would benefit from some TLC
- Kayleigh (10/5): -
- Tracy (9/5): Great stay .Will definitely stay again - Good tasty breakfast. Lovely room great location 2 time we have stayed No
- Philippa (8/5): Thankyou, lovely stay. - Great location, we already knew it wasn't near the lake and were interested to know what Windermere was like and really loved it. All the instructions were very clear and straight forward for check--in. Room was nice enough, nothing special really ... but for the personal touch we absolutely loved our breakfast waitress who gave a lovely personal touch to our stay!! Thankyou xx Just the noisy neighbours, but completely appreciate there's little control over that really. But also, needed the extra blanket out of the wardrobe as it was so cold, but it wasn't very clean. Maybe just put it through the wash before it goes back in the room?
- MAY (8/5): -
- Mark (9/5): Breakfast very good. Position very good. Mattress too hard. Pillows too hard. Some loose fittings and cobwebs. - Position Uncomfortable bed. Needs a bit of a tidy up.
- Carol (8/5): Nice couple of days in Windermere - Friendly staff and great breakfast The room was a bit small
- James (10/5): - Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Extremely polite and helpful.
- Lewis (9/5): Friendly and warm stay in great location. - The location was perfect just on the outside of Windermere so a quick and easy exit in the car, limited free parking, heating always on, super comfortable and quiet. We stayed in the attic room which came with an amazing free standing bath and walk in shower, would recommend. Super friendly staff. Some fruit at breakfast wouldn’t go a miss but hardly a complaint because the breakfast was so good nevertheless.
- Jenny (9/5): Clean and easy access, with a parking lot - Easy access, parking available, clean and spacious room We stay at the Lake District at least once or twice a month, compare to other places we stayed, very limited choice of continental breakfast, offerings could have been better and cooked breakfast was cold
- Sonia (10/5): Excellent - Great location, lovely staff, great place Lively room, comfy beds, great breakfast
- Matt (9/5): -
- patrick (7/5): -
- Leigh (10/5): The romantic getaway we needed! ❤️ - Just as pictured! We had a 2 night stay for our anniversary - i wanted it to feel special, nice bed, a big bath, quiet cosy room, and we got just that. Car park is small, but we have a tiny car so even this wasn't an issue. Oh, and wish I'd booked another night!
- Sandra (7/5): It was needed for a rest - The room was nice The location
- Brian (10/5): -
- Andrew (10/5): Excellent - Nice and clean. The staff were very helpful and breakfast was great
- Phil (9/5): -
- Jennifer Jon Jau (9/5): Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, would return! - Lovely, well maintained property. Check in procedures worked well. Room very clean and cosy. Bathroom superb. Staff friendly. Our only gripe was that breakfast hours started quite late for our liking. Especially in winter when the days are shorter, it would be nice to have breakfast earlier before making the most of the daylight.
- Tina (8/5): Would stay again if the drainage problems were solved - Close to the centre Smell of sewage in the hallway
- Chris (9/5): -
- Lesley (9/5): Highly recommend! - Awesome staff & location Nothing comes to mind
- Louise (10/5): -
- Tracy (10/5): We had a lovely 2 night stay room very comfortable good value for money tea, coffee in rooms, would definitely come back - The cottage was very good location close to everything lots of restaurants, pubs etc. breakfast was delicious a good variety on the menu The lady at breakfast couldn’t do enough for you masking sure you had everything you needed. Wasn’t anything we didn’t like.
- Tina (9/5): The Cottage is a lovely, homely place to stay to explore a beautiful area - Very good location Breakfast was excellent especially the lovely lady who served breakfast Room was lovely.
- Gail (10/5): -
- MICHELLE (9/5): -
- ellie (10/5): Wedding anniversary break away - Early check in was brilliant for us, The staff where amazing, breakfast was lovely Myriam was so attentive.Our room was clean and comfortable. perfect location. will stay again! N/A
- clifford (10/5): Lovely stay in a beautiful location. - Very well situated within walking distance of the town, we we’re lucky enough to grab one of the parking spaces available. The cottage is very quaint and our attic room was really lovely. We had a good breakfast and the lady serving breakfast was so nice, very friendly and offered information on the local area. Our pillows were quite hard but otherwise couldn’t fault it.
- Yu Min (4/5): Very disappointed - We like the breakfast and the staff serving the breakfast. - impersonal, never met the management during the duration of our stay, just the staff who served the breakfast. - very poor/dim room lighting in the room (room 3) - did not clean the room, at least bed was not made. (have hanged the "Clean Up Room" sign on the door knob) - did not change the bath towers. fortunately we met a young Chinese girl in the car park, she gave us 2 large bath towers (on the 3rd day) - the toilet is not very user friendly as it is far too close to the radiator, no room for the leg in proper sitting position.
- lee (7/5): Good affordable accommodation with a generous cooked breakfast, central to Windermere - The property was warm, cosy, clean and tidy, lovely cooked breakfast and the staff were great There was a noise in the room I was in, room 1, a single room, that kept coming and going throughout the night and kept me awake, maybe the heating pipes or something like that, had to sleep with ear plugs
- Yuki (9/5): -
- Mercer (10/5): Perfect Weekend Getaway - Location was perfect, room wonderful with comfy bed. Breakfast was amazing
- Claudia (10/5): Schönes B&B - Die Zimmer waren zwar klein, aber es war alles vorhanden. Es gibt einen schönen Frühstücksraum, den wir auch abends für unser Abendessen benutzt haben. Außerdem gibt es ein Fernsehzimmer. Morgens wurde uns das Frühstück von einer netten Dame serviert, die uns gerne heißen Toast nachbrachte: "When I have breakfast I like my toast very hot." Das Cottage liegt nah am Bahnhof und an den Bushaltestellen, die einen für 3€ rund um den Windermere Lake bringen. Bis Ende Oktober ist da Saison und wir haben eine kombinierte Schiffs- und Dampfzugtour gemacht. Es ist für ein B&B seltsamerweise etwas anonym, da die chinesischen(?) Besitzer zwar zu hören sind, aber nicht sichtbar sind. Am Abreisetag mussten wir den Zug um 8Uhr erreichen, sodass uns nur Frühstück eingepackt werden konnte. Dies fiel aber sehr mager aus, obwohl wir ja den vollen Preis gezahlt hatten. Da hätte man sich etwas mehr Mühe geben können, zumal ein Frühstückspaket auf dem Zettel extra angegeben werden konnte.
- MICHAEL (10/5): - Location perfect Food lovely Great value Staff great especially Muriel💙
- Angela (6/5): Good location, but basic - Location was good. Very handy for the train station and buses. The breakfast included in the price was great. The room was quite small. Not much room for 2 adults to move around in. The bed was very small for a double and extremely uncomfortable.
- KARL (9/5): - Breakfast really tasty and nice, lovely people
- Gaelle (10/5): - Very well located close to the rail and bus station, close to the center of Windermere but still very quiet. The room was really clean and the breakfast perfect.
