Fantastic breakfast options were a highlight, especially the freshly made dishes. Denis and Anita's attention to detail stood out. they made sure homemade cookies and cakes were ready for us upon arrival. The room offered stunning views and a cozy atmosphere, making our stay incredibly comfortable. We appreciated their helpful recommendations for local dining options. One downside was the limited parking availability, which could be a hassle during busy periods. the hosts were accommodating and assisted with finding nearby options.

We enjoyed using the flat-screen TV after a long day of exploring. The location is great, just a short walk to the beautiful Bowness-on-Windermere. Anita and Denis's friendly vibes made it feel like home. Our little one loved the homemade cookies!
My kids wished for more outdoor play space.
