We recently had the pleasure of staying at Burnhow Garden Hotel, and it exceeded our expectations in so many ways. The hotel’s charming garden setting made for a tranquil and relaxing stay, but what really stood out was the exceptional breakfast experience. Rooms: Our room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed, offering a lovely blend of comfort and charm. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the thoughtful amenities, including tea and coffee facilities, fresh towels, and toiletries, made our stay even more enjoyable. Service: The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always willing to assist. From check-in to check-out, the service was impeccable. They were happy to offer local tips, which really enhanced our visit to Bowness on Windermere. Location: The hotel is ideally located just a short walk from the center of Bowness and the shores of Lake Windermere. Despite being so close to local attractions, it maintains a peaceful and secluded atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. Breakfast: The highlight of our stay was the incredible breakfast each morning! The selection was impressive, ranging from hearty full English options to lighter choices like fresh fruit and cereals. Every dish was prepared to perfection, using fresh, high-quality ingredients. The cooked breakfast in particular was outstanding – eggs were done just right, the bacon and sausages were delicious, and everything was served piping hot. It was clear that a lot of care and attention went into every meal. We looked forward to breakfast every morning – it truly set the tone for the day! Overall, Burnhow Garden Hotel is a gem in the heart of the Lake District. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat with excellent service and a standout breakfast, this is the place to stay. We left feeling thoroughly relaxed and well-fed.

Room was spacious and comfortable. Location was perfect, tucked away from the busy center - which was only a few minutes walk away. Jack checked us in, showed us to our room, and hosted us in the the lounge each evening - he was great and we felt very looked after. He was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was excellent - really enjoyed it.

Our room was a bit tired looking. We were informed that it was due a refurb so that will be sorted out soon. Everything else was perfect.

OUR ACCOMODATION WAS GREAT,BED VERY COMFORTABLE,NICE SOFT TOWELS PROVIDED,WITH GOOD HEATING, BATHROOM LOOKED LIKE IT WAS RECENTY DONE,SO NICE SHOWER OVER BATH. COULD NOT FAULT THE BREAKFAST,CONTINENTAL AND AN ARRAY OF FURTHER OPTIONS,WE WENT FOR FULL ENGLISH AND WERE NOT DISSAPOINTED,LOCAL PRODUCE SERVED NICE AND HOT,TEA,COFFE AND TOAST PLENTIFUL. PARKING EXCELLENT AS RIGHT OUTSIDE YOUR ROOM,

I THINK MAYBE THE SHOWER OVER THE BATH MAY BE A PROBLEM FOR AN OLDER COUPLE AS BATH WAS QUITE HIGH TO STEP INTO.

Nice comfortable bed and very clean. Breakfast was exceptional, all food was very fresh and a great selection of both hot & cold food. Staff all very helpful and pleasant

Outside was a bit run down and looked tired, could do with a fresh coat of paint. Had to pay £20 to check in and park the car 1 hour early which seemed a bit steep.

Dorethy on reception was very nice and welcoming. Easy to park and we had a lovely breakfast!

No WiFi code in the room / welcome book, not the end of the world but would have been nice. We stayed in a room 26 and it was freezing, to the point i couldn't sleep - single glazed windows which were dripping all over the carpet by the morning. The chairs also had stains all over them, which i assume is from the dripping of the window.

although the property is very old and probably could do with a re-Ferb it had everything that we needed and more we stayed in one of the upgraded suits. we were so close to all the amenities, two minute walk from our room and we could see the lake. We had a super king bed bath and a shower and our own private garden. There is a secret garden which you look at from breakfast which was beautiful full of wildlife we will be returning I don’t have pictures in the room otherwise I would post them. I’ve just posted one of a birthday cake which catches a little bit of the room

just a little tired  our breakfast was lovely every day. However on our final day it was the start of the bank holiday and it would seem that breakfast was cooked fresh and hot whereas the previous days we thought it might of been standing under a hot plate for a while that is my only complaint, but it was still a beautiful breakfast.

we had comfortable stays with hard working staff, comfy, clean and nice and peaceful environment, well-prepared breakfast and selective menu, available parking, within working distance to the main place of attractions, if using cars to dine outside and joining lake cruise there are lots of parking spaces available...

Since we were with two grown up children, we should stick together staying at a family room with four beds, rather than the kids staying separately on their own at the other building. It's not a big issue though since we already booked two rooms.

Perfect Location for everything in Bowness & Windermere. Staff were very attentive nothing too much trouble, not that we needed to ask for much as everything you wanted was to hand. Breakfast was first rate, plenty of choice, both hot, cold and in the way of fresh fruit. We was there over Easter, was even given an easter egg & hot cross bun at breakfast to take away. We had a garden room, which had lovely view as well as being very spacious and a small patio to enjoy the garden sights from

Hard to find anything to mention here. Only small thing would be that during our stay we was told that evening meals would not be available as they were currently looking for a chef. But that was no real issue as hotel is very close to all the available restaurants in Bowness & Windermere

Myself and mum were looked after the moment we booked our 2 night stay, accommodating a room change to facilitate wheelchair access. On arrival we were pleasantly shown to our room, checking in before our expected time and being recommended a nice place to venture locally. The hotel is within a perfect area to enjoy your stay with lots to do within Bowness. This lovely quaint hotel is highly recommended from its beautiful surroundings within, its excellent breakfast, comfy beds. More importantly the team of Burnhow make this place a perfect stay. Very friendly, warming and ever so accommodating. Every staff member we met deserves a 5 star Especially Michael. Thank you again! Keep up your great work

It's a brilliant what looks like family run hotel and the location is fantastic. Bedrooms are big, well decorated and the beds are comfortable. The breakfast is really good and you have plenty of healthy choices from loads of different fruits to healthy cooked choices as well as the usual, all served by really friendly staff.

If we had to think of any negative it would be the bathrooms on the two rooms we were stopping in could have done with a liitle bit of modernisation but that's all and It didn't spoil our stay because we have booked to stay again.
