Simon and Joan

A traditional British Bed" & "Breakfast - welcoming, warm and comfortable. Quiet, but just two minutes walk to Lake Windermere, and the village shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants.

We are quite new to the world of B&Bs, but we are loving it. We really want our guests to relax and have a great break. Already a feature is our breakfast chats - after a relaxing night and a great breakfast, guests like to talk about their day.

Quiet, but just two minutes walk to Lake Windermere, and the village shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants. Our location is highly rated by our guests - many of whom park their car and relax into the Lake District by using their feet, the boats and buses to get around, when they want to go beyond Bowness.
