It's in a great location near Windermere and Bowness, both within walking distance. Rooms were nice and clean. Mags and Boyd were very welcoming and provided us with lots of information about the town and where we could visit. We were even able to borrow maps during our stay. Would stay here again. Highly recommended.

Once again I decided to stay at Kirkwood knowing it to be an excellent place with superb hospitality and beautifully furnished. But, I was once again surprised by the extra care Mags and Boyd had put into our stay. Gluten-free biscuits in the bedroom, as well as gluten-free sausage,beans and both brown and white bread. These items had to be... More

Great location between Windermere and Bowness. Great standard of room. Excellent breakfasts with daily changes for variety. Obliging and welcoming hosts Mags and Boyd are a fountain of knowledge and support in maximizing your time in the Lakes. Very family friendly. Separate lounge area too. Recommend highly for couples or families.

We stayed at the Kirkwood for 3 nights, arriving 23 March. Mags and Boyd (owners) were first class hosts, providing tea and biscuits in the lounge area upon arrival. The Kirkwood was spotlessly clean, and very homely/comfortable. It was very quiet here, and about a 8 minute walk into either Windermere or Bowness. We stayed in the downstairs double bedroom...

My fiancée and I have just returned from a 4 night break at Kirkwood Guest house. Originally we were there for 3 nights, but decided to stay for an extra night, where we were transfered to a different room for the additional night. Both rooms were lovely (rooms 4 and 6), very clean and well maintained. Mags and Boyd were... More

We had a lovely stay at Kirkwood. We were up in the Lakes for the weekend and Mags and Boyd could not have been more accommodating or helpful for our three night stay. The breakfasts each morning were fabulous, the rooms were really clean and there was a very nice tea tray that was replenished every day. We stayed in... More

My husband chose this B&B based on the on line reviews and what an excellent choice it was! From the moment we arrived Mags and Boyd made us feel very welcome and like part of the family in their home. We were greeted with tea and coffee and lots of helpful information about the area. The room was lovely and... More

Had a great weekend at the end of January. Boyd and Mags were really welcoming after a long journey with a coffee and cookies in their lounge. All weekend nothing was too much trouble and the breakfasts were excellent, there was certainly plenty to eat and enough choice for even the most fussy. The room was lovely with lots of... More

What can I say, we booked and paid for a party of five but due to the snow two of our party could not make it to the guest house, Boyd and Mags greeted us three and offered a voucher for our friends who could not make it. Once we were shown our lovely rooms we were offered teas and... More
