What lovely hosts! Interesting to chat to and interested in our trip. Made good suggestions as to where they thought we may enjoy, advising when we should book in advance. Great location at the top of the street. Never battled for parking. Our room was very pleasant and we were able to open the bedroom windows fully to get a breeze through the room. Breakfast was generous and very pleasant. Pre-booked time and order for breakfast the night before so there was no delay in being served. The sort of place you long to go back to. We certainly will! Oh and teddy bears on the beds are a lovely touch!

The lodge is very comfortable, clean and well organised. The staff were all really friendly, and everything we needed was provided for us. The rooms were also spotlessly clean. The location is also perfect for walking around Windermere and its surroundings. The communication was also really helpful. We walked up Orrest Head thanks to the recommendation from the hosts - a lovely view at the top!

Jerichos Boutique is a beautifully decorated and furnished house. It is spotlessly clean and the bed was really comfy, free on site parking is a bonus and is in a nice quiet street. Great location- only a 2 minute walk to Windermere Train station, shops, pubs and restaurants. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and served a great breakfast. It is a 20-30 min walk down to Bowness lake and shops. Had a lovely 2 night stay. I Would definately recommend without hesitation.
