Everything about our stay was perfect. Location in Windermere was quiet but still within a short walking distance to some lovely coffee places, restaurants and shops. Our bedroom (room 8) on the top floor had stunning views, and very comfy beds. For our family of three the space was ideal. Not at all cramped, and with the added bonus of a very clean en-suite with ample towels and lush toiletries. The thing that makes this place has to be Paula and Richard. The perfect hosts! They shared loads of recommendations for walks, activities and places to eat, all of which were great. Richard even went to the trouble of drawing out some walking routes for us which helped with navigation for our family, who aren't confident ramblers. We liked ordering breakfast the night before, and then it was ready when we arrived in the dining room. Great to have the option of breakfast in your room, and had we stayed longer we probably would have done this too. Breakfast was lovely and again Paula was super accommodating asking our son if he wanted small variations to his order, loved her fruit com pots! Really liked that everything here was locally sourced. We felt cared for throughout, and with the hosts local knowledge, settled into the area quickly. They even went to the trouble of letting us know we'd left some bits in our room and arranged with us to collect them. Thank you! Lucy, Danny and George (Essex)

Nothing as such

Enjoyed our stay at Kirkwood. Both the hosts Richard and Paula were really good, friendly and helpful. Everyday they guided us on which destinations to visit with guidelines which we really loved.

The fact we had to come home

The guesthouse is in a quiet area with car parking spaces. The house is lovely and welcoming. Paula & Richard are so lovely. Couldn't do enough for you.. Breakfast were amazing and the coffee a delight. The room was very clean and spacious for us two and being the UK it was a bit nippy out but that was ok as we had heating on which was very nice. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely go again. Shame we had to go back home.

We loved our stay at Kirkwood Guest House - it is the perfect location between Windermere and Bowness-on-Windermere, only a 5-10 minute walk from either town. Paula was so lovey and accommodating and provided us with delicious breakfast every day (I would particularly recommend the waffles) as well as recommending where to eat in the local area. Our bed was so comfy and all the bathroom facilities were great.

The location was a bit far from amenities on foot but there is a regular bus service nearby. Noise from neighbouring room 5.30am each morning but otherwise very quiet.

Very well run. Kind and helpful owners. Super breakfast and large comfy bed.

Located in a quiet street within a short drive of the town centre. The house had character.

The only things were that the bed had a bottom and unfortunately (as a very tall couple) our feet were quite uncomfortable during the night as the bed wasn’t long enough and the wifi didn’t reach to our room properly- that’s perhaps just us being picky though!

Really lovely little B&B. The hosts really care about you and I love the option of being able to have breakfast in bed. Everything was clean and tidy and the location was absolutely perfect for both Windermere & Bowness.

We like the breakfast very much, full of choice. A hot meal definitely is a good treat in a winter morning. Just love it.

Paula and Richard very helpful. Breakfast was lovely. There was a blackout in town on the night, and Paula arrived to check up on us and brought us a candle. Lovely friendly lady

Everything was spot on couldn’t fault it, the only minor thing was a lack of hooks for a coat had to try to hook them on the lock of the cupboard door, wasn’t a big issue but I imagine if the coats are wet then there isn’t anywhere to let them dry but as I said it’s a minor thing in a faultless accommodation

The room was very clean, the breakfast lovely apart from the sausage but that’s just personal taste, the host was very friendly and approachable, really enjoyed the stay cannot recommend enough , brilliant

Nothing at all not to like

Paula and Richard were wonderful thank you for a fabulous stay. Highly recommend Kirkwood house. Lovely breakfast and room, comfortable beds and very clean and central to Windemere.

Breakfast was great. I follow a vegan diet and it was catered to perfectly. Nothing felt like an ask which was really appreciated. Great location, it's close to bus stops and Windemere train station is about a 15-20min walk away. The room was super clean and the bed was so comfortable. Richard and Paula were both lovely and incredibly helpful. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you!
