Most pleasant welcome received from Sue – the accomodation was ideal for our three night stay – with a very comfortable bed room and fine ensuite. The excellent full English breakfast ,accompanied by Sue’s little talk on the locality and its history, set us up for the day’s walking . The B&B is just a few minutes walk to the centre of Bowness and the pubs and restaurants.
For Rugby League fans, a must is a chat with Len Casey , Sue’s husband and breakfast chef, who can relate anecdotes about his playing career for Great Britain ( some as captain) and England and both Hull clubs.
Our first trip to the lakes and first visit to a B&B. We recently married and decided to stay away for a couple of nights.
Sue and Len are great value, warm and welcoming. Place is a gem, you ll be lucky to get availability as the repeat business is a sign of how popular this place is.
Would love to stay again!
“SIMPLY THE BEST”

We returned to May Cottage, & yet again received a warm, friendly welcome. Sue goes out of her way to make you feel at ease & welcome. She has stories to tell you & her knowledge of the area is outstanding. She has a brillant sense of humour, ALL the rooms are lovely & clean.
If you stay here it is only a very short walk into Bowness & all the shops, pubs etc.
I mustn’t forget Len, who doe’s a wonderful breakfast each morning, Len to is a chirpy chappy.
Throughly recommed you to stay here.
We felt like part of Sue & Lens extended family. Will definately return.
THANKS BOTH

Breamount House offers excellent Windermere B&B accommodation in a traditional Victorian Lakeland house, which located midway between Windermere and Bowness.
The house was built in 1897 and has since been tastefully converted into a 4 star Guest House. Braemount has also achieved a Silver Award as a reflection of their high standard of service.
At Braemount House you will find everything you need for that truly romantic break including 4 poster beds, a luxury private suite and free use of a local leisure club with swimming pool, sauna and steam room.

Raise View House dates back to the 1900’s and was once the village shop. The atmosphere is one of charm and style usually associated with luxurious Grasmere B&B accommodation.
The garden is a picture at all times of the year and with the dramatic backdrop of the Easedale Fells and the famed ‘Lion and the Lamb’ it is without doubt a special and memorable view.
An abundance of fresh flowers, picture lined walls, a real fire on cold days, fine Wedgwood Countryware china and stylish sympathetic décor are just some of the ingredients of this delightful Guest House.

You are encouraged to relax in the exquisitely furnished guest lounge where English Heritage colours and Designers Guild fabrics from the Royal Collection blend together to give a rich warm glow and possibly
enjoy your favourite ‘tipple’ from our well stocked honesty bar.
For our cat loving guests Oscar and Tilly will be delighted to welcome you to Raise View.
