After an awful journey to the lakes, in heavy rain and rush hour traffic, we were welcomed by Gregor and Emma with fresh coffee and homemade brownies, which was was a delicious and much needed surprise! Our room was comfortable, clean and I fell in love with the vintage inspired decor, and the surprise rose petals on the bed! More than just the usual kettle, instant coffee and longlife milk, great attention has been paid to providing a pretty tray with kettle, nice china, teapot, caffetiere and 'proper coffee', aswell as being able to help yourself to fresh milk from the breakfast room throughout the day to use in your room. Emma and Gregor were helpful with suggestions for where to go for a meal, and the information book included in the room is very useful and well written. In the morning, Emma, knowing that the trip was to celebrate my birthday brought my breakfast with a candle to blow out! The breakfast was lovely, all freshly made and beautifully served. After a long walk around stunning bowness and windermere, we headed home. A special Thank you also for introducing me to the ascent of Rum doodle - after buying it shortly after our return, I have hardly put it down since!

Thank you for your lovely review. We're really pleased you enjoyed your birthday stay with us. As former commuters, we remember well the horrors of the M6! So when guests come through the front door looking tired and stressed, we love to see how quickly we can change those fraught expressions to smiles with a hot drink, home baking or a large glass of wine!
Our vintage re-style continues as we go forward & re-brand as 'Rum Doodle' B&B (hopefully by Easter) - so it's good to know our guests like what we're doing & appreciate all the little individual touches. Come back & see us again soon - we can have a chat about the book!
