We stayed at the Southview B&B in Windermere on the recommendation of a friend, and I am glad to say that we are still friends!

The B&B is tucked away in quiet cul-de-sac in Windermere village, so you dont get any road noise but are just afew hundred yards from the centre of the Village and the many restaurants, pubs and cafes.

The Southview only has 10 bedrooms and we stayed in one of the Superior rooms which was fantasticaly furnished with quality fabrics and furniture and also had an ensuite spa bath:-)

Better still the Southview has its own heated indoor pool & jacuzzi and a southfacing patio which I imagine is great in the Summer.

because the hotel has only 10 rooms, the pool is never busy and you can always get some time in the pool on you own, by the way the management dont take bookings with children so the pool is a perfect place to relax and unwind after a days sightseeing /walking.

They only do B&B but thats not a problem as one of the best restaurant in Windermere is only 50 yards away (jambo's well worth booking)

Overall, we had great service, good breakfast, very clean room, superb romantic break and quality time on our own in the pool all at a very reasonable £180 for 2 nights.

Not sure why this hotel hasnt had a review before, but as they seem to get a lot of repeat guests, I guess they just like to keep the best to themselves!
