Our 3rd stay at the Oakbank - and we look forward to our return. We stayed in room 7 - fabulous king size bed with crisp sheets and the best pillows! This is a restful place to stay with friendly owners and staff, and has a touch of luxury about it. The lounge is lovely, as is the breakfast room... more

First of all I must comment on some of the previous reviews, I find it very hard to believe that you could be disappointed with Oak Bank. My wife & I stayed in room 7, I had spoken to Danny the proprietor at the time of booking some months ago, also Danny greated us when we arrived for a two... more

After booking a two night stay at Oakbank I read the reviews on Trip Advisor and started to worry. However on arrival Danny was very welcoming, we had no trouble parking, the views from the bedroom were magnificent and the bed was extremely comfy. The previous guests who have complained about room 6 need to stop and ask themselves what... more

The whole place has a slightly run-down appearance outside. The steps up to the front door need weeding. When you get inside it appears drab, and this was on a fine sunny Thursday October afternoon. It seemed to take an age for the proprietor to appear after the bell was rung. He did not appear very welcoming - where was... more

May i first of alll apologise for the disapointing stay you had with us last Thursday. I have reimbursed you fully given that you consider your stay here -"terrible". I must respond to some of your comments given how damming they are and I believe, unfair. I am sorry that you did not find me welcoming when I checked you...

Just back from a one night stay in Oakbank House Hotel. It is in a good location and the staff are friendly. Breakfast room is a bit tight for space. Never been anywhere where you only have a 45 minute 'window' for breakfast though. It is a typical good B&B. I have trouble understanding how this is rated 5* on... more

Dear Leo thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to give your feedback about your stay. We serve breakfast from 8.30 am and request guests are seated by 9.15 am. However, we do not stop serving at that time and guests are free to enjoy a leisurely breakfast with no requirement to actually order until they...

Location of this hotel/B&B is great - right in the centre of town, Bowness is a great location for the lakes. Accomodation is ok, although the room was clean on the surface, attention to detail is needed. Parking is tight, but we were lucky and managed to always find a space. Breakfast really was the best part of our stay... more

On arrival at the Oakbank House Hotel you are always made to feel very welcome by the owners. We have stayed here three times and find the location ideal being in Bowness town centre with shops and restaurants immediately at hand. The rooms are clean and comfortable and decorated to a reasonable standard for the price. A comfortable lounge area... more
