Lovely Hotel
Lovely hotel, friendly staff and yummy food. We stayed in the Jungle Room on the ground floor where breakfast is served in your room which suited us well. The shutters on the windows do let in light, but didn't bother us with being almost winter, also as the room is next to the kitchen and front door you do get noise at breakfast but not till around 8am, but again didn't bother us as we were up anyway. Very accommodating to my vegan diet. Bed was a bit creaky but super comfy and didnt effect our sleep. Great location right between Bowness and Windermere, set away from the busy road on a quiet side road. Free parking on the car park, but be warned, it's very tight, not advisable if you have a huge car. However there is parking available on the road.

A lovely B&B
Rum Doodle is all you expect from a country B&B in the UK. Very friendly staff, fabulous breakfasts and gorgeous accommodations. Our room (no 2) was on the ground floor and while not overly large, had space for our own breakfast table so we had breakfast served to us in our room. The bedding and towels were luxurious and the afternoon coffee and cake were delicious. The location was a short 10 minute walk from Windermere station and about 15-20 walk to Bowness. The local pub, The Brookside, was a bonus and great to have something close on a very wet summer evening. Highly recommended.

Friendly & cosy B&B
Nice little B&B with a friendly welcome, great breakfast, lots of quirky character. Good spot for exploring the Lakes (even when the weather is awful!).
