Amazing stay. Couldn't have wished for better. Excellent location, breakfast was great, absolutely spotlessly clean, a absolute credit to the owners. Highly recommend and will definitely book again.

Great Location Excellent Stay
We had an excellent stay and from start to finish the hosts were extremely friendly and informative. We had a great room on the ground floor at the front and was able to park our car just outside the room on the road at the front of the property with a space saved for us by the host, who moved his car to give us the space. We were messaged by the hosts for our approximate ETA but be wary if you have an I phone as I did not get the message until I disconnected from the car. Location was great and just a short walk down the hill into the centre of Bowness. Breakfast was excellent with quality ingredients and cooked to order in a very relaxed environment.

I travelled up to Windermere for a family event so I only stayed one night. Everything went extremely well. The room was spotless and very comfortable. The breakfast was just what i wanted and I couldnt fault the service.

A warm welcome awaits you at the Melbourne Guest house which is tucked away in the heart of Bowness. Friendly owners where nothing is too much trouble, free parking, lovely cosy rooms with en-suite and a great breakfast to start your day off. Everything in Bowness is on your doorstep; seconds not minutes from all the amenities.

Location to Bowness was excellent. Owners were very friendly. Room was lovely, bed was comfortable, ensuite was lovely and clean. It even had a little fridge in the wardrobe. Breakfast was awesome. At first we didn't know that they had designated parking at the end of the street but we did manage to park on the road outside the property. Would definitely stay there again.

It was clean, neat and comfortable. I thought it a bit strange that the shower and toilet were both in seperate rooms (although nexr to room, and private to the room). I guess old places get quirks like that sometimes 😊 The towel will need replacing soon. And I know you can't do much, but the people above me were up early and it seemed like a herd of elephants in there! I was unwell with a cold so probably more sensitive to this sort of thing than usual. Overall, I liked staying there. Great location... everything walkable.

Pleasant two-night stay. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good--full English cooked to order by the hostess, yogurt, toast and cereal available as well, although there might be a little wait when it's busy. Amenities were good. Shampoo, shower gel and body cream available. Hair dryer, towels and kettle provided as well. Complimentary tea and coffee in the room. Facilities were of good condition, not newly refurbished but definitely satisfactory. Wi-Fi coverage could be improved: we were on the top floor and we barely had any signal in our room. Signal was good on the ground floor, but internet speed was slow. One thing to note is that there are no elevators, so there might be a little trouble if you're on the top floor, but the hosts are happy to help with carrying your luggage up the stairs.
