Great location and Bowness is the place to base yourself. Good value and standard for a budget B&B. The owners were really friendly and helpful. Our room was pretty large and clean but very basic and the bed, setee and furnishings had seen better days and were ready to be replaced. Not really what we expected after the other B&B's... more

Jacky and I have stayed here every time we visit to the Lake District. Manny and Dave never disapoint putting expensive hotels in the shade with their hospitality and helpfulness. The rooms are large and the the breakfasts are very good. more

After spending a very pleasant weekend with my family at the Lake View, I would highly recommend staying there to others. The owners were courteous, helpful and polite. The rooms were the best we have used in a B&B and the breakfast kept us going all day!! Nothing was too much trouble and the parking facility added to the experience... more

We stayed at Lakeview for three nights in early July 2009 and wouldn't consider staying anywhere else when we return to the Lake District again.
