We were greeted by Emma as soon as we arrived offering us some delicious chocolate brownies and tea which were much appreciated after our 3 hour journey. The new Rum Doodle guest house was absaloutley gorgeous, with really nice decor and lovely open hall... More

Thanks so much. It was lovely to have you with us on the day we rebranded to our new name, Rum Doodle, Windermere. We're so glad you enjoyed all the accommodation's styling and facilities - apologies for the water pressure, sometimes on the top floor it's not as strong as we would like and we're looking at different solutions to...

Celebrating my wife's 50th, we were lucky enough to find this delightful B&B perched within easy walking distance of both Windermere and Bowness. What struck us when we arrived was the warmth of atmosphere; the decor is tasteful without being fussy or affectedly chic and the Victorian rooms are light and airy. The proprietors were welcoming, helpful and incredibly patient,... More

Smashing little place. Very friendly and a super location 5 minute walk from two town centres. Close to the lake itself and many pubs and places to eat. Afternoon tea was a treat and the breakfasts were also good.
