We booked this last minute due to slightly unusual circumstances, I researched and saw the rave reviews and thought it was still a B&B, and then realised it is no longer a B&B as the owners changed around April 22 I believe. That said these were reasonablly priced rooms for Windermere, they were spotlessly clean, and finished to a really good standard. The hot water was plentiful and nice fluffy white quality towels. Both had TVs, Including all the channels such as Netflix. Kettle, tea coffee etc. (no fridge in case you are wanting one we didn't need one for a short stay) We were split as a family due to last minute booking availability and had Grasmere the double room and Rydal the single room both on the 1st floor. The only slight negative is that Grasmere was a really hot room even at the end October with the radiator off, and the double mattress was way too soft for my slightly dodgy back, so I opted for the single room Rydal which had a firm mattress and was nice and cool. Owners were on hand at the end of the phone if we needed anything, emails with instructions to access and places to see, go, eat, do. It was at the end of a quiet residential street right off the main street in Windermere, fantastic location. There was free parking along the road itself or nearby streets or there is a chargeable car park along the road also. (I think you don't pay at night until 8am) We would definitely recommend the place directly at the end of the road (next to sainsburys) for breakfast, and also the magic roundabout in Bowness for breakfast too. Both really gorgeous food although not cheap but as to be expected for the quality. Zefferillies in Ambleside is also highly recommended, it's an Italian restaurant and there is also a vegetarian restaurant and they have their own cinema, with around 60 seats per screen. They do a movie deal, with a 2 course mean for 27.75 and the food was excellent, and service was great too. Thank you to the owners of Aria estates, (looks like they have a few rental properties...

Read moreWhat an amazing find!!! Recommended by friends and no wonder.no expense is spared in this high quality fabulously decorated B&B. Rob and Rich are the perfect hosts. A warm welcome their home is your home. They even booked restaurants for us which were incredible. The rooms are beautifully decorated very tasteful and bright. The rooms are warm with sound blocking doors to endure noise is kept to a minimum. The bed was ridiculously comfy no expense spared on the bedding/towels with plenty of tea, coffee hot chocolate treats and toiletries. The breakfast however is the main event. Plenty of fresh fruit and not the cheap stuff, 4 types of cereal 2 types of juice, endless fresh brewed coffee, eggs any way you can think up, all dietary requirements understood and enthusiastically met. There is no need to eat until the evening!! Their dogs are adorable too. There is plenty of free parking on the quiet streets. It is a 5 minute walk into Windermere or 25 mins to Bowness although there are buses. Can't wait to recommend them to people and to return. Thanks for the faultless weekend and the thoughtful Birthday cake for...
