We needed a twin room on the ground floor- no problem! The room was small but the beds were comfy. We did fine the room was colder than we like but found that opening the bathroom door let the towel warmer help heat the room up. Saying that the weather was unusually cold for the time of year which did... More

My wife and I spent a couple of nights here during a October weekend break in Windermere. We arrived on a friday and was met by Ian, who is a friendly and chatty host. The room we had, had a good view of the brook which runs along side the guest house, and at this time the water was running... More

Thanks to the very accommodating hosts and their family, we had a beautiful sojourn in Windermere. A small but prettily decorated ground floor twin room with good beds was an essential part of a successful holiday. Also a hearty breakfast and lots of help were a great plus and decidedly made up for the grey and rainy skies. Thank you... More

Rocklea was clean, comfortable, welcoming. Ian and his wife couldn't do enough for us. Full of local knowledge to help us get the best from our stay.Great, as it had a ground floor room for a disabled member of our party, even arranged a wheelchair loan for us. Good hearty breakfast gave us a good start to the day.

Just had a lovely weekend, Rocklea was what it said on the box - a very good guest house in a great position between Windermere & Bowness. Rooms were a little on the small size, traditional rather than contemporary, beds were super comfy, towels changed every day, excellent breakfast - nothing too much trouble. Our host - Ian Sutherland -... More

Ian was a great host. Extremely friendly and went out of his way to help us out.. Would definitely recommend this to anyone.. A small stream overlooked my window, providing the perfect view. A very surreal experience!

A great location. Leave the car and walk to either Windermere (5 mins) or Bowness (15mins). Nice comfy rooms, ideal for a getaway break, next to an idyllic babbling brook. Lynn and Ian are great hosts and made us feel really welcome. Good breakfasts to set you up for the day and of course plenty to do in the area.... More

Great location just few minutes walk to Windermere. Nicely decorated comfortable room overlooking stream. The sound of the water was so relaxing. Lynn and Ian were great hosts and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. Breakfast had good choice and was plentiful. We intend to return in the Autumn.
