Mike & Lynn provide everything you need for a stay in The Lakes. Beautiful rooms. Beautiful gardens. Great food and a friendly nature towards their guests. The location is perfect for being close to the village centre and a great base for visiting surrounding areas. Cannot recommend enough and will be definitely visiting again.

Hi DavidThank you very much for this review. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay with us.Best wishesMike, Lynn and Alfie
Great location, very close to the center of town. Easy walk to very nice restaurants. Nice, comfortable rooms. Pretty, welcoming, quiet garden. Lovely, large breakfast, if you wish. Healthy, vegan, and vegetarian options available.
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely lodge, which offered luxurious rooms and delicious breakfasts. It was an easy walk from the lodge to everywhere in town. The hosts were friendly and helpful. If we return to the Lake District, we would love to stay here again.

Hi AnnThank you for this awesome review. Glad you enjoyed your experience with us in the Lakes.Best wishesMike&Lynn
Nice, well-maintained, up-market B&B in a good, quiet location. They offer a variety of rooms at different price points. The standard double rooms are more suited to a single person.
Perfect B&B with lovely hosts. Deluxe room was great, and I loved the spa bath complete with Bath House toiletries. Yummy brekkie with gluten free & veggie diets accommodated. Only very very small downside was the music played at brekkie was way too depressing/schmaltzy! Something more upbeat would be a nice way to start the day. Definitely recommend this B&B
Had a lovely weekend at the Wheatlands. Mike and Lynne were lovely good host. Couldn't fault anything. A good choice of breakfast to choose from and was great. Recommended hotel to stay.
My partner and I stayed here for a few days while in Windermere and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Mike and Lynn are fantastic hosts, providing a friendly, high quality service. The breakfast menu offers vegan alternatives, which we found delightful. The rooms were cosy and well kept. The interior is well decorated and instills a welcoming atmosphere. We greatly appreciated the clear care and effort put in to make our stay a memorable one.
Everything about our stay was fantastic from the moment we arrived to when we left. Our room was well equipped, extremely clean and the bed was very comfortable. The location of the hotel was excellent and very quiet. Breakfast was the best we’ve had at a hotel. Fantastic produce with homemade bread and granola pots. Mike and Lynn were fantastic hosts, very helpful and knowledgeable. When we go to the Lakes again, there is only one place we will be staying.
Lovely B&B, comfortable and modern, in a great location (central Windermere, 20mins from Bowness/the lake). Hosts were fantastic, friendly and accommodating, and breakfast was incredible. Couldn’t fault anything
We stayed in room 1 which was very clean, welcoming and fairly spacious. The décor is pleasant and the room was well dressed and bright. There is coffee and tea in the room and fresh milk was provided on arrival. Lynn and Mike were very attentive and suggested walks and places to visit. Mike's Eggs Benedict for breakfast is to die for and is the best I have tasted. The large full English is also a nice start to the day.
A welcoming place to stay..in the heart of Windermere.
The owners are keen to make you feel at home..well appointed rooms..good local knowledge...excellent breakfasts. A good base for exploring..car park handy too.
Definitely a place to recommend.
Dear Jessica.

Kind regards

We stayed for two nights and had a really wonderful time. I’d picked this property partly because of its location and it was ideally situated for us; 5 minutes walk from the train station and 10 or so to the lake. The hotel itself was lovely and the owners Mike and Lynn were incredibly helpful and kind. They made sure we had everything we needed and the home cooked breakfasts in the morning were fantastic. Overall, I’d rate the lodge as one of the best places we’ve ever stayed and highly recommend it.

Very homely and welcoming.
Little annoying that if the bathroom light had been switch on it was 45 mins until the bathroom air con switched off as they were connected. Remote control was temperamental (sometimes it worked and then it didn’t). Headboard on the bed was very worn

Thank you for your lovely comments. It was our pleasure to look after you during your stay in the Lakes. Thank you for choosing the Wheatlands Lodge. Hope you see you again soon.
Fantastic stay. An exceptionally friendly welcome and great service. Spotlessly clean, comfortable and a great location. We will definitely be returning to Wheatlands Lodge.
Wheatlands is in a great location. Once there you don’t need your car. Lovely owners who make you feel very welcome. Comfortable rooms and excellent breakfast. Loved our stay
No downers! Comfy bed, varied and tasty breakfast and a prime location. What more can you want from a B&B?

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The property was very well located and nicely managed by the owners. The checkin experience was great and the owners were very friendly and welcoming, they even gave great advice to explore the area. The room was very neat and clean with all the amenities. Few things that could have made the stay even more comfortable and excellent would be - a longer window to finish breakfast than 8-915, good reading lights next to the bed and proper blinds for the windows.
Overall the stay was very comfortable and I will definitely recommend going back.

Just perfect in every way
This guest house is immaculate, the proprietors are warm and friendly.
Our 3 night stay was perfect with comfortable bed and shower.
We woke up to a lovely breakfast and home made bread what else can you ask for.
Location is ideal for the village and down the hill Bowness with more eating places to choose from.
Strongly recommend to others

Great place. Can't say one bad thing. Room was very clean and comfortable. Bed very comfy. The owners are great people ... very friendly and helpful. Loved the location, perfect. And the breakfast was outstanding everyday.
Very clean and comfortable facility. Just a few steps from the main street and the town. Quiet. Very friendly and hospitable hosts and staff. The breakfast foods were amazing, better than any 5 star hotels I have been to. Absolutely enjoyed the stay. Amazing scenery and hiking and boat rides are short bus ride away. Definitely want to go back!
Very welcoming and friendly hosts
Absolutely fabulous breakfast
Quality rooms the best bed and bedding and high quality bathrooms
Even bathrobes and slippers
So very clean and the rooms are very well furnished, it was very impressive on all counts and we will return later this year.
Thank you for making our stay with you one we will remember and we will return ( and I am so fussy on where I stay) so well done, just don't tell to many people how good you and your Lodge is.
