We stayed on a double room located on the 2nd floor for 1 night during mid-Sep. Martin the owner gave us a warm welcome and we enjoyed a cup of tea in the nice garden in the backyard. The room was clean and even have a beautfiul ceiling fan. The lounge area was very spacious and is decorated exceptionally great. The free wireless access is an added bonus but you may have some difficulites in getting connection in the second floor (which Martin had told us beforehand).

The breakfast is very nice and delicious and you can serve yourself with various flakes, juice, yoghurt, etc.

The house has a private parking area just outside the house. The house itself didn't have a view of the lake. A 10 minutes drive will take you to the city of Windermere, where you will find many great restaurants, shops and of course Lake Windermere. The atomsphere is so peaceful and charming, you should relax and never do anything in rush here.

Location-wise, this may not be the best B&B in the area. There are other choices closer to the town centre and have a nice lake view. But the quality of the house really makes up for it.

Stayed here for two nights and found it to be excellent with very warm hospitality and service compared with the other B&B.

We have been coming to the Lake District for many years and have, at last, found the perfect location for walking, shopping and access to local amenities. Have stayed several times and look forward to many more. We were made to feel very welcome by Martin and Sue and have no hesitation in recommending The Willowsmere to others.
