In Bowness village, a 10-minute walk from Lake Windermere, this award-winning Victorian guest house still retains many of its original features. It offers free off-road parking, free Wi-Fi, and peaceful private gardens.

  A Stellar B&B. Wow. Oakfold House is a premier choice for staying in The Lake District. The hosts are very kind and generous, while constantly working to maintain their very high standard. There is nothing to fault here, we had a thoroughly enjoyable time during our 4 day stay at Oakfold House. The rooms are very nice and well kept, and for the breakfast the hosts absolutely crushed it, every time. Every single meal we had at Oakfold was incredible. Everything was consistently perfect (literally). Highly highly recommend Oakfold House, and many thanks for making us so welcomed during our wonderful stay with you.

    The interior design was so beautiful, especially in the the living room. The location was perfect and positioned you right near the town centre with just a 2 minute walk. The bed was very comfortable and there was lots of room to store our belongings.

    The location can be a bit difficult to find on google map. But there’s a lovely shortcut to the backyard of the hotel that is easy to walk. The interior design of the house is sophisticated and stylish. I and my bf really like the cozy wooden standard room. We take baths everyday. Really relax us after a long day trip.
