Breakfast was amazing - especially the pancakes. Staff were very friendly. The welcome tea and cake was a lovely touch. Waterfall shower was great too. The DVD collection was a nice touch, in addition to the Netflix options.
I'm not sure if the windows opened in our room - but either way we couldn't open them. This wasn't a huge issue as it wasn't overly warm at all.

Everything. Staff lovely & really helpful.
Great location, halfway between Windermere town cente and Bowness.
Breakfast was outstanding - all fresh, top quality, and so much choice.
Stayed 2 nights, but I wish we could have stayed longer.
Stayed in Room 2, which has its own dining table in for breakfast (2 bath robes if you want to stay in your pjs for breakfast)..
Highly recommend.
Nothing.

The room was great: Very large, with a comfortable bed, tea and coffee facilities, and an en-suite with a great shower. The breakfast options were good, and the freshly cooked options were delicious and staff were really kind and helpful.
Nothing much to be honest. Our room was near the breakfast room, so we were woken by other guests coming down and chatting, but it wasn't anything we couldn't live with - and it meant we were up in time for the breakfast between 08:30 and 09:30.

It was a very comfortable stay, thank you. Everyone was welcoming and friendly.
We thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated the welcome teas, coffees and cake on our arrival.
The bedroom was comfortable, warm and quiet, and the ensuite is of a high standard- the shower was excellent.
Breakfast was extremely enjoyable and we appreciated the fresh fruit. The hot breakfast options were very tasty and well cooked. The lady serving us is also excellent and very efficient .
Some lovely quirky artefacts especially in the hallway.
A great location is great and we would recommend Rum Doodle. Thank you 😊

Greeted with a drink and cake which was lovely. The host was extremely friendly and down to earth and made us feel very welcome. The bed in room 6 was outstandingly comfortable, we slept like a log. The toiletries were also of a high standard from The Bath House, a local company and a really beautiful touch, loved them. The icing on the cake was the wonderful breakfast which was served in our room. We loved the whole experience and will definitely return. Infact I've recommended to friends already!
There was nothing we didn't like.

nothing to complain about

Nice, comfortable, easygoing, good breakfast choice with quality ingredients, lovely owners and staff. Located equidistant between Windermere Town and the lake at Bowness - about 10 minutes walk from either.
A very slight niggle was the lack of ventilation in the windowless bathroom. Nothing else.

Breakfast was amazing!
The only negative was that the room’s close could have better sound proofing and the bathroom needed updating.

Very friendly and welcoming. Very clean and great hosts.
Will be going again when visiting the lakes. It was my partner's birthday and accommodated no problems. Thank you
No issues with the Rum Doodle at all, I know this won't affect a lot of people but the drive is extremely steep so anyone visiting in a slightly lowered car be aware it does scrape your bumper getting in and out quite badly.

The room we stayed in was the Jungle room which was absolutely lovely. It was very clean and airy and the shutters helped keep the room cool with the hot weather we had the first couple of days. The staff that we spoke to (Steven, Kinga, and Ellie) were really lovely and super helpful. Something really great about the room is that you get breakfast brought to your room on a lovely table by the window (at the time you specified on your order) and the breakfasts were delicious.
Also the B&B was on the Bowness side of Windermere so perfectly placed to not be too busy but also really accessible for Bowness and Windermere.
Nothing it was brilliant.
