Excellent stay, good location, fabulous breakfast, and super clean. Only negative was the pressure in the shower, but it wouldn't stop us from stopping again.
A wonderful two night stay at Dene House! A warm welcome on arrival. Our room was lovely, spacious, clean and with all the amenities we needed for our stay. The breakfast was delicious, cooked to order with cereal and fruit options available too. The location Of the hotel is perfect for quick and easy access to the nearby shops, restaurants and bars as well as the lake itself. Close enough for a short walk but far enough from the main road to enjoy a quiet nights sleep! Couldn’t have asked for any more! We will return!
We had an amazing stay. It was our 28th wedding anniversary. It was very clean and very comfortable. My wife is gluten free and they catered for her which was very good. I would definitely recommend staying here and will definitely be back. Thank you 😊
A big misunderstanding on our check in was dealt with very well once the owners realised the issue. It was a big issue, but, as I say dealt with exremely competently. A lovely b and b and very fresh tasty breakfasts are served by friendly owners/staff.
Lovely guesthouse with private parking situated just 5 minutes from Bowness centre and lake ferry point etc.
Spotlessly clean with very comfortable super king bed (superior room). Nicely furnished. Added bonus was a good sized fridge and large fan which we needed as there was a heatwave.
Breakfast was delicious. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating and allowed us to park up prior to check-in in as we arrived a little early. Will definitely be returning!!
On arrival the host was very charming and went out of her way to give us as much information about our accommodation and resort.
It was a 5 minute walk into Windermere Town and the lake.
Our room was number 6 and was at the top of the property, very pleasant and bed and pillows were extremely comfy.
Breakfast was OK, not a lot of choice but adequate and cooked perfectly.
For the price of the room it could do with a few upgrades especially the bathroom.
Overall it was very good and we would definitely stay again😍
Great location. Only a short walk into Bowness and free parking which is a real bonus.
The room was spacious and very clean. We had lots of windows and a nice breeze in the current heatwave. So we slept very well.
All staff were friendly, attentative and really helpful. Breakfast was really nice and served with a smile.
We will definitely look to return in future.
Second time staying here, would definitely recommend, lovely guest house, very clean, lovely room and a really great full English breakfast, we will be back
Easy check in. Friendly staff. Clean and comfortable room. Nice location to walk into the centre and added bonus of on site parking so less stress for trip. Breakfast was good quality.
Excellent B and B. Perfect hosts. Lovely big room and massive bed. Setting is so nice, green and lush. Only two minutes into Bowness. Great parking. Very clean
Breakfast excellent.
Will book next time we are in Lakes
