Great lil bnb which is super dog friendly in a beautiful little town with all you need and not the business of Windermere etc.
1-night trip

10/10

Really nice, friendly hotel. We did book the stargazy room which had great views. Only one issue and not the fault of the hotel but the large building opposite was so well lit it was pointless looking at the sky in the evening. Aside from that could not be happier and would love to stay again. Highly recommended and thanks for a lovely stay.
