Top Howtown Hotel Reviews

Woodlands Guest House Windermere

Woodlands Guest House Windermere

10/10 Excellent
"The room is cosy and comfortable, with plenty of parking spaces in both the front and back of the building. The made-to-order breakfast was very good, although it doesn’t start until 8:30 a.m. The location is convenient—about a 10-minute walk to town and a 15-minute walk to the lakeside."
