The guest house offers a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with a hair dryer, free toiletries and walk-in shower. All units are fitted with a kettle, while selected rooms have a patio and others also offer garden views. At the guest house, all units come with bed linen and towels. I did not take breakfast - the room exceeded my expectations. We stayed in the small double room so we could have a terrace - was nice to sit on terrace in the evening/morning. Location was fantastic. Minutes to walk to the lake where you can take boat rides etc. Also many restaurants and pubs close by. Definitely recommend this place!! The staff was extremely nice - I was able to drop off my luggage early and leave it after check-out for 3 hours. Perfect for us!

In beautiful Lakeland surroundings overlooking an idyllic brook, Glencree is situated between the villages of Bowness and Windermere. With free parking and free Wi-Fi, it serves hearty breakfasts cooked to order. Guests can swim in the property's off-site pool.

Breakfasts are all made from high quality local produce, with a selection of traditional full English breakfasts or vegetarian and continental options. The room was spacious and had a very good view of a small stream. The amenities were excellent. The bathroom fittings are exceptional and modern which are not a common sighting in Europe. The place is at walking distance from the railway station and the main market area. The host, Ian, is very friendly.

Overlooking picturesque hills, Meadowcroft Country Guesthouse is a family-run guest house in the tranquil Village of Ings, 2 miles from Windermere. There is free Wi-Fi in the bedrooms.

A delicious breakfast is provided each morning in the chandelier-lit dining room, which has a log-burning stove for the colder months. Full cooked options are served, along with cereals, yoghurts. Nice comfortable, clean room in a convenient for us location that was easy to drive to and park. Lovely size room with a really big bathroom. Friendly, welcoming staff that had everything prepared and awaiting arrival. Great breakfast with fun visitors. Would stay here again! We were concerned about road noise, but there was no problem. Fun to see the farm across the way and frolicking sheep, and strolled to the mill for dinner.
