Holly-Wood Guest House

Windermere

We have enjoyed staying at The Holly Wood. Ian the proprietor was available prior to our arrival to answer any questions. 

We found the property very easily. 
The whole house is light and very spacious. It is well maintained and so comfortable that we have felt very much home from home. There are some lovely original features in the house.

Every bedroom has en-suite, so there were no issues in the bathroom department. The towels are large bath sheets, the best size I’ve ever experienced. 
The beds are comfortable and plenty of pillows.

All the  rooms are well equipped, from the kitchen, dining room, bedrooms and bathrooms. 

It was nice to have some basic things available too. Like tea, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper, cling film, foil, kitchen roll, dishwasher tablets, washing machine pods.. We replaced or are leaving anything we used up or nearly used up.

We had the whole house to ourselves.
The location is ideal, a few minutes walk into Windermere town centre or the bus stop for the local buses. 

A thoroughly brilliant house that suited all of our needs.

We would definitely stay here again.
Thank you to Ian for renting out the whole house. Very much appreciated.

Ideal location, lovely clean house, well equipped

We had booked couple of rooms for 2 nights. The place is ten minutes walk from Windermere station, and can be found easily with google maps. The market is about 5-7 minutes walk, which has numerous eateries of all types & budgets. The guest house is more than 100 years old, so it adds to the charm. The owners Ian & Ieva personally look after the guests and are very approachable & helpful. The neighborhood is absolutely peaceful and serene. We had taken a car, & parked it (free) in the adjacent lane.

Don't go here if you are looking for 5-star shoo-shaa. Go only if you are looking for peaceful existence away from city chaos. We would stay here again, if we were to visit Windermere again.

Very nice stay

Check in late as our train was late. Host, Ian, was very nice about it and it was very smooth. Room was big enough for 2 persons and there was daily cleaning of room. 
It is less than 10 mins walk from the train station but less than that to the shops.
Ian allowed us to check out slightly later which we were very thankful for. 
Overall, a very pleasant stay. Will come back again.

Great hospitality

The room was clean and quiet and conducive to a good nights sleep. All the normal amenities were in the room. The young chap we dealt with was friendly and helpful with suggestions. It's only a few minutes walk to the centre with restaurants and pubs. Also a short walk to the lake and about a mile from Bowness. Their was parking at the rear. No breakfast when we stayed but they had a discount arrangement with a café.

Pleasant place to stay, ideally located

Loved the stay here. Everything you need for a weekend break and beyond. Toiletries, teas and coffees, even biscuits! Friendly hosts. Will defo return. Off street parking tight but plenty on the road. The one thing I did like was how quiet the place was and couldn’t truly relax

Solo hiking trip

We stayed here for 3 nights and had a fantastic stay in Windermere. The guest house is ideally located, rooms were clean and well presented. Would recommend and definitely stay again, thank you. The bed was huge and really comfy with a good size en-suite too.

Great place to stay, ideally located and good rooms

Minutes from Windermere a lovely friendly guest house.
We had room 3 with a king bed and big ensuite. Large fluffy towels TV and radio and tea/ coffee making facilities Even a hairdryer supplied along with local toiletries. Would recommend.

Lovely guest house

The Holly wood guest house Windermere. Would stay again visited with my daughter & Granson. Would recommend this guest house.Rooms clean and the owners are so nice & friendly.   On suite bathroom.. went out for breakfast as they don,t do a breakfast at the moment some wonderful places to eat about 5 or 10minute walk to the town. You can get a discount on breakfast at the Brew Room or Sugar & spice if your staying at the Holly wood Guest house.Tried both places brilliant breakfast would recommend them both.

We completed our Dales Way walk at Bowness, and had our final night's stay here. This was around 1 mile from Bowness Pier, and anyone stopping here should note that from Bowness, it's an uphill walk. The area is quiet, but several cafes, bars and restaurants are within a 5-10 minute walk.

Our host - who took us immediately to our 3rd floor room [a 'small double'] was pleasant, but unfortunately spoke English at an alarmingly fast rate, such that most of what we were told - was pretty unintelligible, we got the gist about the departure times, but little else. Perhaps a good idea would be to just provide a 'welcome' leaflet on arrival, so that guests can get the key information verbatim?

Our room was fairly small, but was pleasant enough, we had a good shower and enough towels etc. Usual hospitality tray, and an ok television. 

The surrounding area is nice, and we found some good bars and a decent restaurant, so if you're stopping here then entertainment won't be an issue for you.

Fine for one night

Nothing was too much trouble for Ian and his wife - very welcoming and the accommodation was great. Rooms clean and comfortable -  will definitely be back next year. Thanks Ian for a delicious breakfast and a fantastic stay x
