I was a little disappointed with this place. It wasn't cheap and with lovely pictures online and the promise of a room with a 4 poster bed I expected luxury. Our room was fine with a lovely bed, but other details such as furniture, tv etc were certainly not 4*. The bathroom was also in desperate need of an update, especially the carpet which wasn't pleasant. However, on the plus side, the location was good, the owners were very helpful and the breakfasts were superb. I also appreciated the special touches like cream tea upon arrival and mints left on our bed every day. I just expected more for my money!

I booked the `family suite' in good faith in 2006 and everything seemed fine. The booking was confirmed that we would have the 2 rooms on the top floor for my husband, myself and our 2 children.

I confirmed our time of arrival about 4 weeks before our arrival and received an email back confirming our booking.

When we arrived, after having driven from Wales alll morning, we were met by a stony faced woman (name not given to us) and told that there had been a problem with our booking and that we couldn't stay there. This is not what we wanted to hear after a long trip with 2 young children. The woman blamed the previous owners, but her story is very hard to believe seeing as we had received a confirmation email from them about 4 weeks before our arrival.

The woman had booked us into a rather basic B&B in Windermere where we did stay. As it turned out the location was much better as Braemount is a 20 minute walk to Windermere. There are no restaurants or shops any nearer.

We found the experience very unpleasant and would warn anyone who was thinking of staying here not to bother.

Just returned from an excellent stay at Braemount House. We stayed here previously under the old management and am glad to report that the new management have kept the same standard of hospitality and are taking steps to modernise what is an absolutely lovely home.

The breakfast room now has a contemporary feel and I know they are changing one of the rooms into a lounge for guests. The small touches such as greeting us with a glass of wine and bowl of nuts and crisps, mints on the pillows, DVD / Video library, extra sausages at breakfast all go towards making this a very welcoming Guest House.

We stay in Room 8 at the top of the house which has plenty of room so that you don't get under each other's feet while getting ready for a night out in Bowness (would recommend the Mediterranean place on the walk down the hill)

We look forward to coming back and celebrating another Wedding Anniversary there next year.
