We had a wonderful stay. The Howbeck was spotlessly clean, including the bathroom which was beautifully designed.

Superb, but careful you don't slip in the shower.
Excellent place to stay. Short walk from Windermere town and the shops and restaurants there. Gorgeous property, comfortable beds and the breakfast was excellent. Only complaint was the bathrooms. Very tall tub walls and very slick tub surface with no non-slip shower/tub mats, so it was a miracle I didn't slip and didn't get seriously hurt when taking a shower.

Good location, able to access Lake Windermere and surrounding areas easily. Very comfortable bed and good space within room. Only draw back was room location on ground floor next to front door which affected our sleep on both nights due the noise from the other guests entering and a disagreement between two guests outside our window area and front door which required the police to be called to support staff. Would come back but not stay in that room.

Great place to stay, comfortable room and lovely breakfast. Ideal location, a short walk into Windermere and then around 15-20 mins walk to Bowness. Being able to leave the car at the hotel before and after check in is a bonus too. Lovely staff as well and very accommodating with us having a baby. Would recommend and stay here again!
