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 ❤️

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.

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.

Perfect Windermere Stay

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.
