We stayed for one night over the Christmas period, we had a lovely stay, the room (ranji) was beautifully decorated, Thebes was comfy and the hosts extremely pleasant.. Our only 2 complaints were the room was really cold on arrival (maybe for the price they could've put the heating on for our arrival) an i had to run down a... More

Thank you for your review and your very fair points score. I completely agree about the heating - there is nothing worse than a cold room. Except on very warm days (so not many this year so far!) our heating is actually on all the time. However all our radiators have thermostats, as you would expect, and sometimes the previous... More

Just enjoyed a 2 night stay at The Boundary in The Hobbs room complete with four poster bed and it was wonderful. A lovely room with fabulous bathroom and a previous reviewer who said the room was 'tired' don't know what they're on about. The hand painted furniture is old and full of character and adds to the charm of... More

Diane and Peter - thank you for your rave review. It's great to know that you love our breakfast as much as we do (though I really must show some willpower and not have it every day!) It was great to meet you and we hope to see you again soon. Regards Steve More

Good location not far from M6 for exploring the area if you dont mind being on a main A road. Rooms have promise but are tired and in need of TLC and fresenhing up, similarly the service seemed tired around the edges to us. Its not cheap and a very competitive market so shame we cannot confer with some of... More

Slightly grumpy reviews like this keep us honest! Your thoughts are greatly appreciated, although it would have been helpful if you could have been a little more specific when you talked about TLC being needed. It is worth noting, as some reviewers have done, that we are conveniently situated on the A5074 halfway between Windermere and Bowness. Two of our... More

Very good two night break, breakfast on both days was fab, perfectly located for walking to Bowness or Windermere. Helpful, polite and friendly staff, would recommend and will stay again. Use of spa facilities at another hotel was an added bonus. Room size excellent and the hotel looks exactly the same as the pictures featured on the website.

I'm really glad you enjoyed your stay - and breakfast once you made it! The toiletries are sadly not available in sample sizes; our suppliers, Mother Earth, are a proper little cottage industry. Guests can purchase the body butter or bath soak and many do. On the plus side, it's environmentally friendlier not to produce yet more little plastic bottles,... More
