Breakfast is awesome with really good taste and a variety of choices. Room is nice, host is a very nice person. Everything is so good and we will definitely come back and stay here again if we visit Windermere again in the future.

    Absolutely charming guest house. Super clean and comfortable. great location. Couldn’t fault it. Hosts Adam and Symmoane are very welcoming and their hospitality is second to none. would highly recommend. We knew that there was no cooked breakfast but I’m glad that didn’t put us off because the continental breakfast was beautiful and plenty to chose from and all fresh. The home made jars of yoghurt and berries were delicious.
