Stayed here for 2 nights and glad we chose this place, we didn't know what to expect at first with it being part of a pub. Don't think I could say anything negative about the place, the staff were very pleasant and welcoming for a start. The room was lovely, it was basic but a decent size and was well... More

I had a lovely stay in Ruskins . Location is great, room was fine could probably do with a little updating but perfect for resting your head at night, was a little chilly though but there is an extra heater in the room. The breakfast was delicious and the staff could not have been more accommodating and helpful. I went... More

We booked here for my boyfriends birthday over the easter weekend. There was a problem with our room on the first night which meant we had to be booked out to a holiday apartment near by. This wasn't a problem for us and Malcolm the owner sorted everything out for us, gave us a lift and a bottle of wine... More

As far as value for money goes Ruskins is good compared to other B and Bs in Bowness, it is central for other pubs and resteraunts, the bed was really comfy, however I felt that the room was tired and there was a big damp patch on the wall, the toilet roll holder was falling off so I put it...

We only stayed the one night but the service was friendly and helpful, the room was nice and clean and the bed was very, very comfortable :) we had a room facing the main road which was quite noisy once it became early morning, but other than that we would stay here again!

Overall for the price of Bed & Breakfast, location, hospitality and comfort we were more than happy. Nice big beds with a thick cosy duvet. Warm and comfortable room with enough space to not feel claustrophobic. The shower room was quite large too even if some of the fixtures were a tiny bit on the tired side. We got a... More

Just stopped here for one night. The lovely four popster bedroom was impressive, but a little warm! The bathroom was a tad tired but fully functional. The service was sound, breakfast was standard and the location was fantastic. A great base for a night round Bowness.

My partner and I stayed here the last Sunday in August for 1 night for my birthday. As soon as we arrived we were told there was free parking around the corner from the hotel near some houses and a sports field. Once we had parked up we went back into the hotel which is just like a pub and... More

The place was just not for us. We were expecting an old fashioned friendly old English pub but from the moment we booked in we did not feel relaxed in the place. We were due to stay 2 nights but only managed 1 which was a real shame. The breakfast was ok.The room was very basic but did the job... More
