We stayed in the Coniston room for the weekend, it was perfectly clean and the bathroom is stunning. The owners are helpful and friendly, home-made cakes were a lovely on arrival. Location is great as there are several restaurant choices locally. Breakfast was excellent, all freshly cooked and so many choices. We will definately be back.

You arrive with a friendly greeting from Jennifer plus information to make your stay complete. The superior room we had was more than we expected with a very comfortable bed and options. Breakfast by Steve was superb. The quality & presentation made for a perfect start to the day. Even soft boiled eggs with soldiers that take you back to... More

First, let me start off with a wee anecdote to demonstrate the true consideration of the Archway's owners: my wife and I arrived late on a Friday night and were met by both owners, Stephen and Jennifer. While Jennifer welcomed us and supplied us with local insider information for travel, as well as providing us with invaluable maps and transport... More

Bathroom very modern, with walk in shower. Quite small, but big enough. Hosts were very pleasant; Jenny had lots of helpful information ready to pass on when we arrived, and showed... More

The Archway is in the ideally located in Windemere and a central location for visiting the South Lakes. Parking is to the rear of the guest house which was ideal as parking in the area is restricted. You are just a few minutes walk to the pubs, restaurants and shops and only a twenty minute walk in to Bowness. The... More
