a super clean stay
warm welcomesuper clean cleanlinessadvantageous locationnearby bus stops
The hostess gave us a warm welcome and was quite helpful. i found it super clean, i was impressed by its cleanliness. the location is advantageous. I could walk to both the town center and bowness. i also appreciated being close to bus stops (especially for the return trip from bowness).
The breakfast, while included, had some organizational issues. There was a staff shortage that slowed things down significantly. it took a long time to get our food.

really good stay!
cute ownerhomemade shortbreadrose petalssqueaky bed
Pamela was cute upon arrival. i enjoyed a pot of tea and homemade shortbread offered to me. the owner had also thoughtfully left some wine and chocolate to celebrate my husband's retirement. the towels were arranged into swans, decorated with rose petals. It was wonderful.
the bed was a bit uncomfortable, it squeaked and had a dip in the mattress. this resulted in a poor night's sleep. there was also mould present in the shower.
