We booked this B&B last minute on the evening of our stay but were still treated to a warm welcome and drink and cake on arrival. The hosts were friendly, the rooms quirky and comfy and breakfast tasty. More interesting than your average B&B and definitely worth a visit.

My partner and I only stayed here for one night, although we wished it had been longer. Rum Doodle is a beautiful B&B nestled in a quiet part of Windermere but close enough to walk to the village centres of Windermere and Bowness, as well as other nearby sights. We had a warm welcome of tea and cake on arrival... More

Me and my boyfriend stayed here two nights in April and I can't fault anything. We was greeted with a delicious glass of wine on arrival and the owners were friendly. We stayed in the shute room and was delighted with the four poster bed which was extremely comfortable! What I really liked was the attention to detail in the... More

So glad you enjoyed your stay at Rum Doodle! We've just refurbished and redesigned Room 8, Burley - which we think is on a par with Room 6, Shute. New phoitos should be on our website this week. Hope to have you back soon! Very best wishes, Emma & Gregor. More

If you love quirky & quality then this is for you - such lovely hosts who really couldn't do enough for us. The location is excellent as it sits between Windermere and Bowness-on-Windermere off a quite road just away from the nosier main road - where we discovered much of the competition we looked at when researching our break are...

We chose this B&B as we liked the unusual style of the bedrooms as seen on the website. We weren't disappointed as each room is decorated in a unique way which fits in with the theme of the classic book "The Ascent of Rum Doodle". When we arrived we were greeted by Greg the friendly owner who offered refreshments and... More

Visited for a weekend. Very good welcome inc. home baked cakes. Excellent breakfast, decor and library. Bathroom seemed a bit "tired" and water pressure in the shower was not good enough for us. We stayed in the room closest to the breakfast area/kitchen so a bit noisy in the morning. Quite close to the town centre.

Glad you enjoyed the warm welcome, the delicious home baking and the award-winning breakfast here at Rum Doodle. Windermere did have a burst water main while you were here which didn't help the water pressure acroos the entire village, but things are back to normal now. Apologies for our laughter from the kitchen! We do tend to have a rather... More
