Couldn't fault any part of our stay at Ivy Bank. Sue and Dick are exceptional hosts...very warm and down to earth and went out of their way to make sure our needs were met (and I'm fussy!). Room 1 is a clean and comfortable room and the breakfasts are outstanding. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Oh and my... More

Beautiful Victorian terraced house retaining many original features. A lovely warm welcome from Sue and Richard along with the lovely and warm place and they certainly treat it like their own! Place was very clean and tidy. The endless choice of breakfast followed by a choice of cooked breakfast was fantastic. Not to mention the almost endless supply of filtered... More

We had a little difficulty in finding the B&B when our GPS took us down a dead end street but a phone call to the owner put us back on track. On checking in, owner was very friendly and helpful and offered lots of information about restaurants etc. Our room was on the 2nd floor and was rather small with... More

Ideal for walking from guesthouse to restaurants and shops. Although handy for the town no street/traffic noise at night. Sue and Dick were Very friendly and welcoming, one of the best cooked breakfasts we've had! The room was very clean and comfortable. Was good having off street parking in Windermere.

My partner and I stayed at this charming guest house in Windermere last week and would highly recommend it. The room was very warm and cozy (unlike the bitterly cold weather) with beaufiful furnishings and a lovely comfortable bed. It is also very well located close to the shops, bars and restaurants but in a quiet street. The proprietors, Richard... More

My partner and I stayed here for the weekend in February and were made to feel very welcome by Sue and Dick. Our room was lovely, spacious and clean and there was a nice lounge for the guests to use with an extensive book collection provided. It was a 2 minute walk to the shops and restaurants and the free... More

Just returned from a 3 night stay at this very friendly & welcoming B&B. I chose it because of the proximity to the town centre & previous reviews...I wasn't dissapointed, I was travelling alone for the first time, but was put at ease by the Dick & Sue straight away. The bedroom was lovely, clean & bright, with everything you... More

The hosts are really welcoming and incredibly helpful. The location is perfect with Lake Windermere just a few minutes down the road as well as countless hill... More

A really lovely B&B, very friendly hosts that made us feel very welcome. We decided to make a rather impromptu 2 night stop in the Lake District on our way back from Scotland and were delighted with the Tourist Centres recommendation. We were also travelling with our 4 month old baby but this wasn't a problem. We had a gorgeous... More
