Ideally located in Windermere, Archway Guest House is in the heart of the Lake District National Park. With free Wi-Fi and 2 free parking spaces on a first come, first served basis, this traditional Victorian property offers bed and breakfast accommodation, just off the A591 road.

There is no way I can say enough good things about our stay! Such a warm welcome with tea and lemon cake, amazing breakfasts, directions, etc. We did every single thing that Anita suggested from tours to businesses to restaurants and loved every one! Denis and Anita went over and above to make our stay wonderful, even a packed breakfast for us to take for our very early train departure. You won't regret staying here.

    Great hosts: Hayley and Steve are amazing! Their communication before, during and after our stay was brilliant with a pdf on food recommendations, what to do when we arrived and sightseeing etc. Breakfast was lovely, the room was very nice and the location is spot on, with everything you need, restaurants etc, just around the corner. The guest house was spotless, the room was very nice with a large bathroom and comfy bed, all the staff were warm and friendly, we couldn't recommend this place, highly enough.

    Jerichos Boutique is a beautifully decorated and furnished house. It is spotlessly clean and the bed was really comfy, free on site parking is a bonus and is in a nice quiet street. Great location- only a 2 minute walk to Windermere Train station, shops, pubs and restaurants. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and served a great breakfast. It is a 20-30 min walk down to Bowness lake and shops. Had a lovely 2 night stay. I Would definately recommend without hesitation.

    location is great. walking distance to both Windermere and Bowness. Boutique property and the room for three was really spacious and not a bed adjusted very clean and stocked with all essentials. The name 'guest house' is a misnomer more like a boutique 4 star property. the breakfast was prepared fresh and to your needs Philips and Trevor who own and run this are great hosts . They welcome you and show you around and make you feel at home i also particularly liked the fragrance of the handwash 😊

    From the minute we arrived Debbie and Eliot were great hosts. The guest house was very clean and the room was spotless, the bed was so comfortable. Breakfast was amazing and kept us going all day. Great location and easy access to all the main places in the lakes. Great weekend and the Watermill Inn pub is 200 yards and had a fantastic night out there.

    Hosts were very pleasant, the house is quaint in a great location. It's very quiet despite being on the main road. Didn't see or hear another guest.
