Booked May cottage B&B & we weren't disappointed - we will definitely book again - great value for money. The bed in room 2 was extremely comfortable, the couple who run the B&B were extremely accommodating & had thought of everything, even a face cloth for make up removal :) Breakfast was plentiful, delicious & cooked fresh, very clean B&B - traditionally furnished with a lovely modern bathroom & excellent shower - a very short walk into the centre of Bowness with free parking which was a bit of a tight fit but manageable. ##### Andrea Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helen 24 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Anniversary break I booked here for our anniversary break and wasn't disappointed. Great location and lovely room. Comfortable and well equipped room, we were welcomed like old friends by Joan and Simon on arrival. Good breakfast each day with plenty of tea and coffee on offer. Plenty of information available for activities in the area for those not familiar with Lake District. Great location for singles and couples wanting peace and quiet, while being so close to the centre near to shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as bus and boat routes. Hope to be back sooner, rather than later. ##### Helen Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathryn 30 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bravo A wonderful experience with a lovely couple. They literally could not have done more for us! ##### Kathryn Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Spa Chester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-And-Spa-Chester.h527788.Hotel-Information) > > [ORIDA Maidstone Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maidstone-Hotels-ORIDA-Maidstone-Hotel.h74419166.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [A beautiful Cabin on the 5 star White Cross Bay in a quiet area of the park -](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-A-Beautiful-Cabin-On-The-5-White-Cross-Bay-Park-In-A-Quiet-Area-Of-The-Park.h33212770.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [Cragwood Country House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Cragwood-Country-House-Hotel.h15246012.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mortal Man Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-The-Mortal-Man-Inn.h1660961.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Windsor Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Egham-Hotels-Fairmont-Windsor-Park.h60335617.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woodbridge-Hotels-Ufford-Park-Woodbridge-Hotel.h12685.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leeds-Hotels-Oulton-Hall-Hotel.h15948.Hotel-Information) > > [The Park Royal Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warrington-Hotels-The-Park-Royal.h24462.Hotel-Information) > > [5* Detached Stone Cottage with a Private Indoor Pool (Not Shared)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashbourne-Hotels-5-Detached-Stone-Cottage-With-A-Private-Indoor-Pool.h31752210.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Manchester-Airport.h26104.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Towcester-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Silverstone.h48251404.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Log Cabin On Shores Of Lake Windermere, Surrounded By Breathtaking Scenery](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Log-Cabin-On-Shores-Of-Lake-Windermere.h18768244.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information)
