However, it was a really nice B&B to stay in. I've stayed in a quite a few in the Lakes and this is one i would definitely... More

Need new aerial have stayed in Bowness on many occassions and the TV reception not a problem anywhere else. Clock was 20 minutes fast - so up earlier than needed... More

Thank you for taking the time to write a review and for your comments. Sorry that you had problems with the TV's in your rooms but had we been made aware at the time we could have rectified this immediately. With regard to the incorrect time on the clock, I can only assume this was caused by previous guest but... More

We stayed here for 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed it, the rooms are clean and nicely decorated and the breakfasts are very nice, the b&b is situated very in the centre of Bowness and is only a 5 minute walk from the lake.

The room was very nice and the bed was very comfortable. Everything was changed & the bed was made everyday. On one of the days where it was raining they... More

What can I say? A disappointment that got worse. There is no parking here and the room (1) was smaller than expected. We had a singer sharing her tunes till the early hours, drunk hysterics outside and the constant noise of traffic. The room was small and the bed barely big enough for two of us- we aren't big.

Due to our central location, we clearly state on both our website and booking confirmation that parking is limited and offered on a first come basis. As we are in the village centre, we are close to other hostelries and unfortunately have no control over there customers or entertainment. All our double rooms are furnished with a standard size double... More
