Briscoe Lodge is a lovely Guest House situated in the heart of Windermere Town. |Our arrival was met by the pleasant House keeper who opened the front door for us. This lodge does not have a reception area. Guests are advised to contact the owners, Graham or Janet by telephone, their phone numbers are displayed on the welcome letter on the front door. ||After we received our Key, (opens the front door and your room) we went upstairs to our room which was very pleasant and clean! |The pillows are very fluffy, spacious toilet and shower area, television with freeview and DVD Player, and there was complimentary tea/coffee with a kettle in the bedroom area. ||Briscoe Lodge offers breakfast for their guests which consists of Toast/Cereals and jams/marmalades with a bowl of delicious croissants. They do not serve full English breakfasts However there are many cafes in the area at a reasonable price! ||One night, our television wasn't working. We only used it to play music whilst we were getting ready but the free view couldn't get any signal. We let the owners know and they came up to try and fix it but without prevail. ||We went out for a lovely meal and when we came back, we found out the owners bought a brand new Smart TV for us with built in Netflix, YouTube and Disney which was absolutely brilliant!!!! |We didn't expect them to do this but we were so humbled by their fantastic kindness! Not many accommodations would go out their way to do this for their guests, we can't thank them enough!! ||If anyone has problems with their freeview, there are a great selection of DVD's downstairs in the lounge to enjoy. ||Overall, our stay was very pleasant! We are giving you 5 stars for your kindness, thoughtfulness and we highly recommend everyone to come and stay here. |Thank you again, Briscoe Lodge! We will see you all again soon....
   Read moreStayed in one of the self-catering cottages over the Easter holidays. Everything about the cottage is ideal for a family / couple to stay in. The owners are so lovely and couldn't have been more helpful! The location is perfect as nowhere is far in the car. It is brilliant as a base for eating / sleeping etc! I have already recommended Briscoe Lodge to family and friends and we will certainly be using it again! There is no bath in the bathroom, only a shower....so if you have children that will not use a shower then you may have bring some flannels for a good wash....both of my children managed with the shower as it is spacious with folding doors. The kitchen is small but perfectly formed and it has everything you need. One bedroom has a large double bed in and the other has two single beds in. Plenty of wardrobe / cupboard space throughout. The living / dining room is a great size. You can walk into the town centre of Windermere in minutes. There is a private parking space for residents also. There is nothing I can fault...
   Read moreAfter a very long and tiring drive after the M6 was closed, we arrived much later than planned, but it was not a problem for our host for the weekend. We were given such a warm and friendly welcome, we were able to relax very quickly. The room was superbly equipped. The bed very comfortable.
It is located within a level and easy walking distance from the beautiful town of Windermere. Its ideally located to explore the whole of the Lakes.
Bowness is a 25 minute downhill walk. From here, regular passenger ferries go north to Ambleside or south to Lakeside. Regular buses back to Windermere if you are tired.
Back at our guest house, we had a very very good night sleep and delicious breakfast in the morning.
Definitely will return and definitely recommend to others.
Thank you Graham and to your lovely family for...
