Last minute short break which we both enjoyed. Holmlea is an ideal location for exploring Bowness and the Lake District. Within easy walking distance are a wide selection of restaurants,pubs and cafe's catering for all tastes. The guest house itself was very clean and comfortable and we were made very welcome.We would certainly stay again. More

Breakfasts are plentifull and tasty and Jill was so friendly and attentive. Returned from day out to find... More

Stayed at Holmlea for 2 nights in March 2012 and we really liked it. Clean and friendly with a nice breakfast to set you up for the day. The location was great for Bowness, literally on the door-step. We were provided with a free spa pass for the Macdonald Old England Hotel down the road which was a nice addition... More

We book B&Bs in England to get to have some contact with the locals. Not so here. We arrived early and Jill did take our bags into the dining room for safe keeping whilst we went down into the village. When we got back to the B&B later in the afternoon to check in we were taken down the drive... More
