good selectionstreet parkingdirty extraction fan
breakfast had a good selection, so that was fine.
Parking was not as advertised. I had to park on the street. the room was small, and i felt it was overpriced at over £120 per night. the bathroom needed better cleaning, with a dirty extraction fan and grime between the tiles.

a wonderful stay!

cute hostsdecorated roomdelicious breakfastparking space
liz and chris were very cute hosts and met all of our needs. they were very eager to help wherever they could and they were great people to talk to as well. the buttermere room was comfortable and nicely decorated and the beds were very comfortable. breakfast was delicious and the quality was consistent every single morning..
negatives are when we booked on this site it stated parking. this is incorrect. there is space for 1 car in their drive and a large van was in it. so my car was parked on the street for the duration of our stay.

the hotel is off the main road and by a little stream. it was lovely listening to the stream. the hotel is located on a quiet street, just a short walk away from the lake and ferry.

The breakfasts offered many choices (cooked with attention to detail). The room was super clean and cozy with all essentials provided.
The towels smelled odd. I noticed many spiderwebs with spiders in the room (i kicked one out of my bed).

Wonderful Experience

fresh breakfasthelpful hostcozy roomlimited parking
Breakfast had many choices and they cooked it fresh. The hosts provided helpful suggestions every day for our visit. I found the room very cozy, it was good after a long day of exploring. The place had a perfect location near the town center.
The hotel provided parking for one car only. My car needed to park on the street . It caused slight inconvenience, although I managed to find a spot each evening. More parking spots are required.

The location is quiet and off the main roads. Windermere centre is only five minutes up the road. Bowness centre is ten minutes in the other direction. These are good for tourists.
