“Excellent stay, will definitely use again.”
Fabulous stopover for one night and we then wished we were staying longer.... We were given an upgrade as they weren't full and the room was beautiful with a four poster bed and easy chairs and a large, modern bathroom with a good shower.The breakfast was delicious with an excellent menu which they served at our table. Lovely touches of home made granola, jams etc and the cooked breakfast was very well done. The location is amazing, right next to Lake Windermere. We would definitely use this B&B again.
