We stayed here just after Easter 2013 and had a lovely time - the owners really make you feel welcome and the breakfast is well catered for. Its very central to all you could possibly do in the Lake District so would highly recommend it.

We stayed 3 nights Thursday/Friday/Saturday. The location was very handy to restaurants and shops and an easy 20 minutes walk to the steamer base at Bowness. The building is old and a bit noisy but the view out the window was very nice. The owners and staff were excellent. Served us excellent breakfasts and nothing was too much trouble. They... More

This review is long overdue. Me and my girlfriend stayed at this lovely B&B for her birthday last September and had a wonderful time. I honestly can not think of one single thing wrong with this hotel. The room, the food, the location. Everything was perfect. We was greeted by Dick and he made us feel very welcome the whole...

Couldn't fault any part of our stay at Ivy Bank. Sue and Dick are exceptional hosts...very warm and down to earth and went out of their way to make sure our needs were met (and I'm fussy!). Room 1 is a clean and comfortable room and the breakfasts are outstanding. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Oh and my... More

Beautiful Victorian terraced house retaining many original features. A lovely warm welcome from Sue and Richard along with the lovely and warm place and they certainly treat it like their own! Place was very clean and tidy. The endless choice of breakfast followed by a choice of cooked breakfast was fantastic. Not to mention the almost endless supply of filtered... More

We had a little difficulty in finding the B&B when our GPS took us down a dead end street but a phone call to the owner put us back on track. On checking in, owner was very friendly and helpful and offered lots of information about restaurants etc. Our room was on the 2nd floor and was rather small with... More

Ideal for walking from guesthouse to restaurants and shops. Although handy for the town no street/traffic noise at night. Sue and Dick were Very friendly and welcoming, one of the best cooked breakfasts we've had! The room was very clean and comfortable. Was good having off street parking in Windermere.
