Celebrating my wife's 50th, we were lucky enough to find this delightful B&B perched within easy walking distance of both Windermere and Bowness. What struck us when we arrived was the warmth of atmosphere; the decor is tasteful without being fussy or affectedly chic and the Victorian rooms are light and airy. The proprietors were welcoming, helpful and incredibly patient,... More

And what a wonderful group of 10 you were! It was lovely to host your special celebration and we're delighted you felt so at home during your stay here at the soon to be rebranded Rum Doodle, Winderemere. Freshly squeezed orange juice is a must for us and our award winning breakfast just wouldn't be complete without it. We look... More

We stayed here for 2 nights to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary at the beginning of May and we are so glad we picked this amazing B&B. Emma & Gregor were fabulous hosts and made us feel very welcome, the afternoon tea on arrival was a very nice touch and the chocolate brownie was the nicest I have ever tasted.... More

What a great B&B! Stayed here for 4 nights a couple of weeks ago and could have picked a better place. We were greeted with wine and nibbles on arrival by Emma, the female part of a great husband and wife partnership that run this lovely house and that set the tone for the great customer experience we received.

Smashing little place. Very friendly and a super location 5 minute walk from two town centres. Close to the lake itself and many pubs and places to eat. Afternoon tea was a treat and the breakfasts were also good. More

Excuse me while I try not to gush too much about this place and it's owners. What an absolute LUCKY FIND!

We stayed here for two nights at Easter and had a fantastic time. We thought it was a great location being in between Windermere and Bowness and we were glad it was off the main road as that was quite busy. We were welcomed by Emma with tea and carrot cake which was just what we needed after our long... More

We stayed at Braemount House, soon to be renamed Rumdoodle, over the Easter long weekend this year, after it was recommended to us by friends. It is a wonderful B&B, situated in a great location between Windermere and Bowness town centres, with only a few minutes walk to each of them and Windermere lake itself. You are welcomed by Emma...
