After reading the previous reviews we expected Dene House to live up to these high standards and were sadly disappointed. The house is lovely, great location, on site parking, clean, quiet, decent cooked breakfast. During our two night stay the temperature was below freezing for the entire duration and the room did not have available heat apart from during certain times of the day and even then the room information book was wrong. Heating should have come on at 6.30 a.m. but didn't come on till 8.30 a.m. and then took a good half hour to get anything like hot, by this time we were leaving our room as we had been told our breakfast was at 9 a.m. Neither of us have ever stayed in a B & B, Hotel, Guest house where heating wasn't available at the touch of a switch. We stayed in bed as long as we dared before quickly getting up and dressed for breakfast as the room was extremely cold due to a heavy frost on both nights. The advertised homemade granola was never available at breakfast nor could we find the extra milk which, according to the book was available to help ourselves to in the dining room if we ran out of milk in our room, which we did as we only had six of those tiny little thimbles of milk in our room fridge. The plug in the bathroom wasn't water tight and so we had to wash quickly as the water was going down the drain whilst washing and there was no need to take the plug out on completion as it had already all gone! Air freshener in the bathroom didn't work. One tiny bottle (25ml) of shampoo and the same for body wash in the bathroom which weren't replaced on use, bin not emptied, bed not made. I know these things were omitted during Covid but we have stayed in several hotels recently and everything elsewhere seems back to normal, with normal daily room service.…

Our recent stay at Dene House was most enjoyable. We arrived a couple of hours before check-in but went in to ask the host if it was ok to park the car. We were invited to check in immediately. A house key and room key allow people to come and go as they please. The family run establishment is kept to a very high standard. Many old features of the house have been maintained to preserve its character, yet the modern touches blend perfectly. We had the king room which was spacious, clean and comfortable. Usual amenities of private bathroom with toiletries, tea/coffee, hairdryer were supplemented with iron and ironing board, small fridge and wine glasses. Breakfast was pre-order and at a set time for each room. This might not suit everyone but I’m sure the hosts would have accommodated any reasonable request. It suited us just fine on this occasion. The dining room is well organised with room numbers as your table guide. There’s a good choice of fruit and cereal to self select and the cooked choices were well presented, served hot on hot plates (always a plus in my books!) by the hosts. Individual choices were perfectly presented. It is easy to see why this lovely place has a top rating by its visitors. Thank you Hai and Lan, we would definitely visit again.…

Bowness on Windemere Dene House B&B All I can say is wow, this place was amazing another perfect 10 out 10 stay. Every aspect of this place is fantastic. It is a very easy walk to the lake and town centre. We had room 1 which is downstairs and apparently the biggest room here. It was really large and comfortable. A king bed that was so comfortable. The two nice chairs by the bay window were a favourite of mine. The room had a little fridge, tea and coffee facilities and the complimentary cookies they leave for you were really nice. The shower was really good, with nice hot water and good pressures. Breakfast was delicious with a full cooked English breakfast with all the trimmings. There is also fresh fruit, yoghurt, cereal and fresh juice to choose from. There is absolutely nothing at all negative about this place. We loved it. Han who runs this place is so lovely and goes out of his way to make sure your stay is perfect.…

This B&B has it all: great location, reasonable rates, and friendly owners. Even though it's on a fairly busy road, it is extremely quiet. My wife and I are vegan, and we were so grateful that the owners could accommodate our diet. And if you're traveling by car, there is plenty of off-street parking.

Stayed at Dene House for two nights whilst visiting the Lake district. Wonderful hosts. Beautiful double room with all you could ask for. Breakfast was lovely- had a full English the first morning, and boiled eggs and toast the next- cannot fault the service and the breakfasts on both mornings were delicious. Dene House is situated within a short distance from Windermere, easily walkable and close to shops, restaurants and pubs. Will definitely visit again!

My husband and I have just returned from a 4 day break for our wedding anniversary. We stayed here at this fabulous place 4 years ago. Wonderful hosts they will go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. The room again was spotlessly clean, comfy bed and quiet location away from the hustle and bustle. Fridge in room to chill wine/beers which was great when we got back late afternoon after a long day going places. Short walk to centre. Yorkshire Dales not far away to visit beautiful countryside. The Riva Cafe Italian is fabulous food. The Ship Inn for a light lunch or meal, also boaters for a drink and great live music on the weekends. So much to see and do. We will be back soon Hai & Lan again for sure. Thank you both so much, once again for a fabulous stay. Lou & John 🙂…
