The staff were very welcoming and helpful in providing information about activities in and around Bowness. The breakfast was very good. The room and bed was very comfortable. Would stay again.
Chris is the epitome of perfection, reflected in every inch of the property. Spotless, clean, homely. A well maintained property, with exquisite aesthetics. And the scrambled egg...OMG...the best I've had so far. Would definitely recommend this beautiful place. 10/10.

Lovely stay. Very clean with a good selection of tea and coffee in the room. The breakfast was exceptional and the complimentary spa and pool access was a real bonus. Definitely recommend a stay here !!
Oh my goodness where do I start!
On arrival we were warmly welcomed by our host Chris who explained what to expect during our stay. He showed us the dining room and the lounge and it felt like we were being welcomed home. Chris then showed us up to our room which was all ready for us even though we arrived early.
The room was immaculate and well furnished (as was the rest of the house and we really felt comfortable and at home.
Everything we needed was provided in our room, but Chris said if there was anything else we required, we just had to ask.
The next morning when we came down for breakfast which we were able to order the previous night, Robin our hostess brought out an amazing breakfast which you would be happy to find in any first class restaurant, all fresh and perfectly cooked and presented.
All in All my wife and I can honestly say that it was the very best stay we have experience in a long time and that includes some 5* hotels. OAKFOLD HOUSE IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE OUR GO TO PLACE WHENEVER WE ARE IN THE LAKE DISTRICT. Well done ROBI & CHRIS
Booked this Hotel for my Dad to stay at whilst he went around the Lakes for a couple of days on his Motorbike.
He absolutely loved the Hotel. He said the Hotel itself was lovely and the breakfast was gorgeous!
Thank you so much for giving my Dad a lovely, well deserved night away ❤️

Great room, great hosts and great breakfast. Very close to Bowness strip (pubs / restaurants) and the lake itself. Will definitely be returning
We had a lovely two-night stay. The house is very nice, our room was warm, spacious and comfortable, and the breakfast was excellent with lots of options.
The location was excellent for Bowness shops, bars, cafes and restaurants, plus Lake Windermere too, with a 10-minute walk.
We would definitely stay here again.
Great stay, quiet location but perfect for Bowness. Room was very comfortable, spacious and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was very good, ran by a lovely couple.

Lovely hosts and welcome, we were able to check in early which was really appreciated on a cold day in January.
Everything was sparkling clean, and the cooked breakfast and other breakfast options were all really good quality. Cherry on the cake was the included use of leisure facilities at the Old England. Really enjoyed our stay and plan to return.
Great place to stay! We had a lovely break and stayed here for New Years, the location is amazing (10 min walk to the main Bowness area) and the service by the team was exceptional. We will definitely be staying here again on our next visit to the lakes.
Great place to stay in The Lakes.
Chris and Robyn are lovely hosts.
Breakfast choice is nice and freshly cooked.
Room was very nice. Nice residents lounge.
Free parking.
Easy walk into Bowness for the shops, bars, pubs and restaurants. Great base to explore the beautiful Lake District.
Would happily stay here again.
