“Fantastic Guest House / Fantastic Breakfast / Fantastic Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

We booked a last minute trip to Bowness on Windermere after reading a few reviews on here and also due to the extremely competitive rate they offer. I booked over the phone and Marguerite was extremely helpful. We were booked into a superior room that on arrival we were more than happy with ! You will be offered tea and coffee on arrival - with scones and jam this is really a nice touch. This is a very high class place to stay at this kind of money. The owners take great pride in this - the rooms are elegantly decorated. The rooms are finished to a high level, are spotlessly clean and we love the level of comfort with great king sized beds with nice Egyptian cotton bedding.
Even in January (-4degrees) the place is lovely and warm on return from walking in the freezing cold.
The rooms have free wifi and iPod docking stations which is a great touch too.

Make sure you get up for breakfast though, superb full English with black pudding.

This is really outstanding quality place with lovely owners. I would recommend to anybody and will certainly come here again.

“Excellent as always”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012

Just returned from a lovely stay again at the Dene House. Highly recommend this B & B we have stayed on numerous occassions and always pleased with the high standards of service and the little extras that make the stay extra special. From the lovely welcome on arrival and a welcomed cup of tea and home made cake to the comfortable clean rooms, the friendly helpful staff and the location close to the town but still in a quiet area. Always feel totally at ease when staying here and enjoy every minute. The staff and management go the extra mile that makes the Dene House stand out amongst other guesthouses we have stayed at in the area. We will always make Dene House our first choice of accommodation when staying in the Lakes,

“Gorgeous Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 December 2011

I absolutely loved this hotel. It looks like a 5 star hotel but is not as pricey! The room we had was absolutely massive, the bed was lovely and comfortable. The place oozed character and I would loved to have stayed longer here, as we only stayed for 1 night. The breakfast was very very good too, the service was impeccable. A lovely place, thoroughly enjoyed it. Would be great for Valentines Day or another romantic getaway.

“Nice B&B in excellent location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed here for a quick one night stop over before staying in a lodge in Bowness for a few days. I choose this B&B after the good reviews on here and also the competitive rate they offered as we just wanted a room to lay our heads for the night as we knew we wouldn’t arrive until early evening.

The B&B is in a good location only a few minutes’ walk from Bowness centre and just off the main road with parking in front of house.

We booked a superior room which is situated on the ground floor and was a lovely spacious room with a very comfortable king sized bed. The room had good facilities including plenty of choice for making hot drinks and also a small fridge which I thought was very useful. The bathroom was nice with a powerful shower. The room was spotlessly clean and in very good condition.

My preference normally would not to be situated on the ground floor but we didn’t experience any noise from being situated next to the main door and across from the breakfast room.
Breakfast in the morning was well cooked and the service was good. We found the owners and the staff at Dene House all to be very friendly and helpful.

I would happily go back to this B&B again although as lovely as our room was I would probably ask for one upstairs next time. I would recommend this B&B for a nice comfortable stay in Bowness.

Room Tip: King size bedded room is lovely but is on the ground floor.
