“5* in all but the price!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2011

I and my husband returned to the Kenilworth as we had enjoyed our previous stay so much. We weren't disappointed! The cleanliness and comfort were just as we remembered. The breakfast is excellent, locally sourced good quality bacon and eggs to name but two! The owners welcomed us back, and were very helpful when we asked for advice on where to go and what to do. I think we will definitely becom 'regulars'!!

“lovely”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2010

We were greeted with a warmly and friendly welcome and were advised on places to visit, eat and walks around surrounding areas, which we found very useful. The room was lovely and immaculate. Breakfast was delicious and locally sourced. We highly recommend this guest house and cant wait to return. Thank you Chris and Christine for your hospitality. William and Amy

“Kenilworth worthy of praise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2010

My mom, sister and myself stayed at the Busby's Kenilworth Guest House in Winderemere and were greeted by the nicest people in the world. The Busbys house was comfy, immaculate and in a great location on the fringe of town Windermere, within easy walking distance. Their breakfasts were filling and delicious, and they were extremely helpful in helping us plan our day, and even our drive to York. The Lakes are a beautiful place to visit, and the Busbys treat you like family. We were only there 2 1/2 days, but we miss them already! Kenilworth gets 2 thumbs up! Thanks Busbys!

“A gem of a guesthouse.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 April 2010

A most pleasing experience in the heart of the Lake District. Booked the Accommodation online which can be, as I have learned to my cost previously can a bit of a gamble.
This guesthouse however was a real find. The owners obviously take a pride in ensuring their guests enjoy their stay.
The rooms are beautifully decorated to an extremely high standard, the bed most comfortable and the ensuite is incredibly good.
There is satellite TV in all the rooms and the hosts provide a lovely courtesy bowl of tea, herbal tea coffee, cocoa and biscuits for their guests to enjoy.
The breakfast is superb, the freshly cooked full English breakfast is highly recommended, there is also fruit juice, fruit segments, cereals, toast in abundance and tea or coffee to be enjoyed.
Breakfast was served in a well-appointed dining area, for me a little early at 08:30 but it does set you up for the day ahead exploring the area.
All in all the Kenilworth is a guesthouse is a credit to the owners Chris and Christine who do strive to make their guests feel special. A credit indeed to the tourism business in the Lake District.
As a canny Scot, I feel that I should mention that the cost of the stay was incredibly reasonable.
Thanks to Chris and Christine, we had a lovely short break in the Lake District.

“A lovely place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 March 2010

The owners were very welcoming and helpful, but not overbearing! Situated in a quiet spot but within easy walking distance of the Town Centre. The rooms are very comfortable and well equiped. Plenty of interesting and useful information on the area is provided. The breakfast was excellent, plenty of choice and well presented. Excellent value for money. I would have no hesitation in recommending 'Kenilworth' to anyone looking for a superior standard of accommodation.
