Free parking on arrival even if you are too soon to check in. Excellent value for money with clean comfortable rooms and friendly staff. Very good breakfast included too. We have stayed at many more expensive properties in the area but this place is ideal if you are on a budget and want a great base to walk, bus or drive from. We will be back.

    The property and room is spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. It is in the ideal location for walking to both Bowness and Windermere and for accessing walks. Abigail and Andrew were very friendly and seemed to have thought of everything such as: leaving cake and water for your arrival, the mini fridge in your room, handmade bread, allowing you to take handmade muffins for in your walk and their commitment to being ‘green’. We felt very spoilt!
