Perfectly located, 5-10mins from Windermere. Dog friendly - staff were very welcoming, very attentive during breakfast, lovely conversations. The double room at the front, very clean and cosey, we fitted a medium sized dog create in the room comfortably. Breakfast was amazing, staff chatted with us, made us feel very welcome, very attentive to guests needs, all in all - Breakfast was spot on, bacon, eggs etc .. my partner has allergies - very attentive. Thank you. The Watermill Inn pub just up the road, perfect for evening meals.

Bathroom, whilst lovely and clean, shower could have done with a bit more pressure - otherwise perfectly fine, just a personal preference.

Easy access with leaving key on arrival. Breakfast - couldn't fault it. Lovely staff and room serviced each day with tea/coffee/biscuits topped up. Ideal location for us to come and go as we pleased.

Parking sometimes bit of a squeeze in car park, but able to park on road no problem. Very noisy road though. Didn't anticipate how intrusive the noise would be with our room facing the road. Had to keep windows shut after about 7am, as sooo noisy and constant. Not too bad late at night. Hence the earplugs left for us in our room, we assume. Didn't use them though. Beds little harder than we're used too.

Check in - easy - as they leave your key in an envelope inside the from door Breakfast was really good and friendly host and atmosphere with all guests chatting Parking was tight with all guests having a car due to rural location, but expected in this location The location is great as you are only 5 minute drive from the busy Windermere, and then you come back here to escape The room was lovely and clean, but the mattress was tired and uncomfortable and gave me a sore back. The noise from the main road right next to the building was loud and for light sleepers you can hear cars all night

Liked everything about this place. Lovely decor throughout, room was sizeable, bathroom a good size, comfortable bed, nice shower. Off-road parking, although could park roadside with no restrictions. Breakfast was delicious, . Friendly host. There was some cutlery, plates and wines glasses available (I think there might have been a microwave), in general guest area for use, which was a nice touch if you needed.

Nothing to dislike, the premises are a couple of miles away from Windermere but quite happy with that. Next to main road into Windermere, but the premises were far enough away not to be an issue (our room was on the front and certainly didn’t affect my good nights sleep).

During our recent stay at Meadowcroft Guest House, my partner and I were thoroughly impressed by the exceptional experience provided. From the moment we arrived, the staff's warm and friendly demeanor made us feel truly welcome. Our room was spacious and impeccably clean, featuring a comfortable king-size bed and large windows that offered a delightful view of the surrounding countryside. The en-suite bathroom was well-appointed, complete with complimentary toiletries. We also appreciated the in-room tea and coffee making facilities, which added a cozy touch to our mornings.​ Although we didn't realize that breakfast was included in our stay and therefore didn't partake, we've since learned that Meadowcroft offers a generous full English breakfast in their comfortable dining room. The guest house's location in Ings Village is ideal for exploring the Lake District. We found it conveniently situated for visits to nearby attractions, and the ample parking provided made our excursions hassle-free.​ Overall, our experience at Meadowcroft Guest House was nothing short of exceptional. The combination of comfortable accommodations, attentive staff, and a prime location makes it a perfect choice for anyone looking to explore the Lake District. We wholeheartedly give it a five-star rating and look forward to returning in the future.

Nothing it was perfect

This guest house is a gem, we loved the friendliness of the staff and our room was lovely - spacious, nicely decorated, and the two windows let in plenty of light with gorgeous views over the old church and farm land. The location was handy to several attractions within an easy driving distamce, and only a short walk to the local pub where we enjoyed a nice meal. The breakfast was outstanding!

My only comment would be that the soundproofing could be bit better, you could hear the sound of conversation in the adjoining room. There is some traffic noise but it was mostly in the (weekday) morning and by then we were tucking into the fabulous breakfast!

Meadowcroft is in a great location for exploring the Lakes District, less than 20-30 minutes drive to Windermere, Ambleside, Hawkshead and Coniston. As an old building, it had a few creaks, but also lots of charm and was pleasantly decorated. The rooms are good-sized by UK standards, very clean and comfortable (including the bed), with lots of storage space. Bathroom was good sized and had plenty of towels (washcloths and hand towels and bath towel for each person!), which is an unexpected luxury in the UK. Good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Breakfast was great - very generous continental breakfast offerings, plus full flexibility in terms of mixing and matching amongst the hot offerings. Breakfast room was bright and cheerful. It was also lovely to have a sitting room upstairs that guests could use, with a comfy sofa, tv, microwave and extra dishes. As we had to leave early our last morning (before breakfast service started), the team were very happy to let us use the upstairs fridge to store continental breakfast things overnight, so we could still have breakfast. Very easy and accommodating check-in process, even for a late arrival. Although not really in town, there is a fun pub just a few minutes walk away, so we didn't have to drive into town for dinner if we didn't want to. Debbie was very entertaining - a born host!

Only downside is that it is right on the main road heading toward Windermere - a bit on the noisy side from traffic until late evening, when it became very quiet. It wasn't much of a problem for us, and they very thoughtfully provided ear plugs in our room, which was much appreciated.

The Guest House is very well decorated clean and fresh. Our bedroom was a good size very comfortable bed with a TV and tea and coffee facilities. Excellent shower is very powerful in a separate cubicle. There is a small lounge for guests to use with a fridge and microwave. Very nice dining room and breakfast was excellent with friendly accommodating staff. Looked a bit out of the way on the map but perfect location as a base for touring the lakes. Bus stop outside. Londis supermarket next door at the garage that stocks most things you might want including food and drinks. Five min walk to a lovely pub that had a good choice of drinks and great food menu. What we had was excellent. On site car park We were very pleased with our choice and happy to recommend.

Nothing we had a great stay

The whole building was very clean, our room was very comfortable and good breakfasts - the scrambled eggs were done just right (nothing worse than rubbery scrambled eggs!) Debbie and Jackie were friendly, chatty and helpful. We liked their dog, Sally. Dog towels provided. Very hot water. There is a communal lounge where you can microwave your dinner if you don't want to eat out every night. We won't be staying anywhere else on our next trip to the Lakes.

Ummmm, can't think of anything.

Ideal location for visiting surrounding areas and all of the lakes, the facilities were excellent and a hearty breakfast, the local pub the Watermill is only 2-3min walk through the village and serves good food and local craft eyed ales, there is ample parking at the guest house, we had a small pooch with us and the venues are are very per friendly. There is also a local garage next door for any provisions if needed We we’re impressed with the cleanliness of the rooms and friendliness of both Jackie and Debbie.
