Very nice stay B&B run by friendly staff. The room was gorgeous and very clean and tidy. Facilities were great, clean shower and bathroom. Free parking round the back was great as the road is quite narrow. The building is very welcoming and nicely decorated throughout. Located right in the middle of Bowness-on-Windermere and Windermere town, it was a 15 minute walk to get to either central point. Nice touches with having access to fridges and freezers, also leaving a bottle of wine in our room on arrival. Staff were very friendly and helpful, very welcoming. The room was gorgeous (superior four poster) and very clean, being served breakfast in our room was great too, enjoying it at our own leisure and in PJ’s! Great choice of starters; cereal, fruit bowls, yoghurts and choices of teas and coffee. Main breakfast again lots of choice and variations to please everybody, we had the cooked Cumbrian breakfast which was delicious.

Very good location :) Parking behind the hotel and some spaces along the road. Run doodle is very charming warm and welcoming. we stayed in room 6 it was absolutely beautiful. The bed was so comfortable and lovely pillows had the best sleep here. Tea and coffee in the room with a kettle. Tv in the room and WiFi. Dressing robes in the wardrobe with hanging space with an iron and small ironing board. There is also a hairdryer in the dressing table. Lots of space in the draws too. Really good powerful and hot shower with lovely fluffy big towels. The room was nice and warm at all times but the added bonus of an oil filled radiator if you get a little cold. We had breakfast in our room both days and it was so good very hot a fresh tasted great. Fresh juices and fresh coffee. The staff are so polite and friendly.

When we arrived, we were shown to our room and our host asked us whether we’d like a drink of fruit juice which was very welcome and he brought it up to our room for us, which was a nice start. Each of the rooms in Rum Doodle is themed after one of the characters in the book The Ascent of Rum Doodle,give it a read and you’ll appreciate the guesthouse much more as a little quirky bits and pieces which refer to the book our room reflected this and was very entertaining and comfortable, after a very restful night, we enjoyed a cozy breakfast in the breakfast room which was delicious and well prepared, the staff were very friendly and accommodating. We liked it so much that we booked for the next week on our way back from our trip to Scotland.

Our stay at Rum Doodle B&B was delightful! The rooms are cozy and beautifully themed, with thoughtful touches that make you feel right at home. The breakfast was delicious, with a variety of fresh, locally sourced options. The location is ideal, just a short walk from the lake and local attractions. The hosts were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to ensure we had a wonderful stay…including glass of wine on arrival & balloons to celebrate our anniversary. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the Lake District!

Location. Less than 15 minutes walk from the town centre and Windermere station. Facilities: Beautiful room, beautiful bathroom, beautiful window view. So fresh and clean that I felt overwhelmed processing the pure luck of its availability. Breakfast was wonderful. I went with the oats, honey, blueberries, yoghurt and fruit salad, but the aromas of bacon, eggs, mushrooms and tomatoes could have easily pulled me to flexitarianism. Staff were all exceptionally warm and welcoming. I was left feeling truly cared for.
