Lovely stay. Very clean with a good selection of tea and coffee in the room. The breakfast was exceptional and the complimentary spa and pool access was a real bonus. Definitely recommend a stay here !!
We had a lovely two-night stay. The house is very nice, our room was warm, spacious and comfortable, and the breakfast was excellent with lots of options.
The location was excellent for Bowness shops, bars, cafes and restaurants, plus Lake Windermere too, with a 10-minute walk.
We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely hosts and welcome, we were able to check in early which was really appreciated on a cold day in January.
Everything was sparkling clean, and the cooked breakfast and other breakfast options were all really good quality. Cherry on the cake was the included use of leisure facilities at the Old England. Really enjoyed our stay and plan to return.
Great place to stay in The Lakes.
Chris and Robyn are lovely hosts.
Breakfast choice is nice and freshly cooked.
Room was very nice. Nice residents lounge.
Free parking.
Easy walk into Bowness for the shops, bars, pubs and restaurants. Great base to explore the beautiful Lake District.
Would happily stay here again.
Great place to stay! We had a lovely break and stayed here for New Years, the location is amazing (10 min walk to the main Bowness area) and the service by the team was exceptional. We will definitely be staying here again on our next visit to the lakes.
It was an awesome experience! The lovely couple-run hotel gave us an amazing stay in every aspect. The homemade warm breakfast surpassed our expectations!
Wonderful place! The car parking is free, the room is clean and comfort, and the breakfast is really good. Only 10 minutes walk to the lake and 20 minutes walk to Windermere town center. I definitely want to be there again.
Cozy and warm place to stay. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food is great too. It takes twenty minutes to get to the railway station. Highly recommend.

Couldn’t fault anything . Clean . Good good,
Great hosts . would return again
We loved everything about Oakfold House. The quiet yet close to everything location, the beautiful room and view from our room, delicious breakfast. Easy access to buses to explore the many towns around the lake, as we did not have a car. Chris and Robyn were extremely helpful and lovely to chat to - cannot recommend highly enough.
