There is a ‘wonderful peaceful and calm feeling’ about this boutique hotel in a Victorian gothic gentleman’s residence close to Windermere’s town centre with a bus stop right outside and 'first-class service'. Readers continue to heap praise on the friendly welcome and professionalism of hosts Caroline and Jonathan Kaye. Bedrooms are individually designed in a contemporary style with hand-built furniture, block-print wallpapers, statement headboards, a fridge, fresh milk, ground coffee, complimentary treats and REN toiletries. Also, ‘a fantastic idea, a room tablet with everything you need to know about the hotel, surrounding area, and communications with the hotel’. The ground-floor Coach House Suite has a double spa bath and wet-room shower, an upstairs lounge and kitchenette. ‘Our room was gorgeous, afternoon tea was delicious, Caroline and Jonathan were wonderful,’ runs a typical report. Platters from a lounge menu can be delivered to your room. Breakfast choices include smoked haddock, American pancakes, a Cumbrian or vegetarian grill, ‘not a plastic marmalade pack or butter portion in foil in sight’. ‘Even four days of wind and rain could not ruin our stay!’ (Carolyn Derry, Mr and Mrs Braden, Noelle Dunkerley, and many others)
