The room itself was very spacious, we were 3 adult women and really enjoyed ourselves. Very easy to walk into the village and parking was perfect. Would recommend to anyone.

The room (No.5) was very spacious and clean. The location is also ideal (few minutes stroll into Bowness) and we were sold on the fact that parking is included. It can be haes to find a parking space in Bowness when you arrive later in the morning. The rooms are accesible with a handy modern key code. We loved the spacious bathroom and the comfi bed. 100% recommend!
