I stayed in Kirkwood guest house for three nights in March 2013. Mags and Boyd, who run the guest house, made my trip to the Lake District an unforgettable experience! Cosy rooms and warm porridge in the morning made the cold days feel warm. But most importantly, I got a great advice on where to go and what to see.... More

We stayed at Kirkwood for 2 nights on Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th May 2012. It is located in a central position so that you can choose to walk to either Windermere or Bowness and leave your car parked at Kirkwood. We were able to park our car in the school grounds opposite which was very convenient as... More

Just spent two nights with my mates at the Kirkwood, it was very nice with a great breakfast - the rooms were very clean and comfortable and the location was good. Car parking not a problem and the owners made us feel right at home. All three of us said we'd come back with the wives and children. Very enjoyable... More

This is a great B&B. I just felt like I was in my Home. Both Mags and Boyd are very friendly and great food.. The place is very close to the Village centre. Plus they told me some paths for the best views.. Nobody does that!! It was amazing..

Location: 10 mins walk to Bowness, 10 mins walk to Windermere, so perfect for restaurants in both areas. Also means that parking was never a problem Impressions: Kirkwood is advertised as a 'traditonal style' guesthouse and that is exactly what you get - period furnishings & furniture and kind hosts giving a warm welcome. Mags and Boyd are charming and... More

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Kirkwood Guest House for 2 nights over the Easter weekend and I could not have been happier with my stay. Mags and Boyd were the perfect hosts and made us both feel very welcome indeed. They went out of their way to make sure we had a really pleasant stay. The room was... More

For my husband's 60th birthday he said he would like to revisit the Lake district having been to Ullswater 10 years ago. We decided to try Windermere. Mags and Boyd made us feel so welcome. Kirkwood guest house is in a great location in between Bowness and Windermere town centre. The house is spotlessly clean, warm and cosy. The breakfast... More

What a great way to start married life. Mags and Boyd were really friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Kirkwood is in a great location and is within walking distance from Bowness and the centre of Windermere. We were in room 5 and started married life in a 4 poster bed which was really comfy and warm.... More

We were very happy about the guest house we stayed in, the rooms were clean and tidy, we had everything we needed in there. The breakfast was very good and we had a full english every morning...
