The best accommodation we have stayed in. Clare and Rob were the perfect host and nothing was ever too much trouble. The hotel is in a perfect location for shops and country walks and the rooms are clean and comfortable. We will absolutely be booking for our summer break next year.

10/10

We loved everything about Oakfold House. The quiet yet close to everything location, the beautiful room and view from our room, delicious breakfast. Easy access to buses to explore the many towns around the lake, as we did not have a car. Chris and Robyn were extremely helpful and lovely to chat to - cannot recommend highly enough.

11 out of 10 stars. We’ve stayed in 100s of hotels and Oakfold House has been one of the very best. Delicious breakfast, very friendly and helpful hosts and just the perfect location very close to the lake and the heart of Bowness. Thank you so much, Robyn and Chris, for making our stay in Windermere a dream coming true ❤️

We had a lovely stay and were met by Robyn and Chris, who were willing to accommodate us dropping our bags off early. It was a really lovely surprise to find our bags in our room when we returned later! The room was really comfortable with all of the little luxuries that we’d need and extras available in the guest lounge if we needed them. Breakfast was delicious and had everything we could possibly want. Lovely fresh local produce too! We’d love to stay here again and would recommend to friends and family.
