Cosy Guest house, Excellent Value for money!
We have stayed in Bowness many times, and decide last minute to book for the weekend 10th of Feb. All the hotels were priced ridiculously high so we decided to book Holly Cottage as it was available and has an excellent location just a stones throws from the town centre. We paid for a large double, ensuite room and on arrival we were greeted with a warm welcome. We were allocated to room 7 on the top floor. It was lovely, quaint and clean. A well presented room. Just watch out for the beams if you’re tall! We slept really well the bed was very comfy and the guest house quiet, our room was over the garden so no noise from outside. Overall we were very pleasantly surprised by Holly Cottage, and would definitely stay again. it’s ideal if you want a central base as just a place to lay your head and have a good nights sleep.
Lovely stay
Stayed in this lovely period quirky guest house on a Saturday night. Great location for windermere and fabulous comfortable room. It’s family run and they are really helpful and welcoming and have great plans to do more with the place. No breakfast but plenty of places nearby. Looking forward to staying again
Really enjoyed our stay
Stayed with a friend in the 2 rooms on the second floor with a shared bathroom and they were absolutely perfect for us. We had our rooms serviced every single day. Nico was very kind and helpful. We came a bit unprepared and he helped us finding things to do for the duration of our stay.
The kitchen is an added bonus. A couple of nights we stayed in and cooked.
We will be definitely book again.
Thank you
A relaxing warm base within a minute’s walk to the centre of Bowness.
Jan and her daughter Helen were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. They froze our freezer packs for us on a daily basis. They provided various suggestions on places to eat and visit. They showed a real and genuine interest in us as more than paying guests, being readily available to help but remaining unobtrusive.
