Fabulous stay with awesome breakfast
I stayed a few nights for work. The room was beautiful, warm on arrival and spotlessly clean. The parking up the steep drive can be a bit tricky and there was no space for me on the second night so I had to park in the next street. This wasn’t ideal but everything else was great so I’ve not marked them down for it. Breakfast was out of this world!

This is one of the best places I have ever stayed hands down! Everyone was so so friendly and the room was so clean and cozy. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the lady serving was so sweet. I had an early train on the day I checked out, and I was so sad I couldn’t have breakfast that day! I will think about the Rum Doodle every day until I can go back and stay again. The most special place!

Lovely B&B in an older home. Clean and well cared for. I’m a convenient location for bus transportation and accessing both Windermere and Bowness

Stayed for the weekend, room 6 was amazing and we had no idea we would get breakfast in our room. Breakfast was quality and we will definitely be returning when we come back to the lakes!

Lovely place to find.
I’d rather tell the hotel the bad stuff. Bath was awesome. Shower too. Furniture looked good. Breakfast in our room was outstanding. I’d like mayo with breaky also but i could have asked. So no points deducted. Bed comfy. Four poster bed a nice touch. Most paint and fixtures nice. I would recommend. Xxx lovely owners.
