The stay at Kirkwood Guest House was everything we could have asked for, Paula was so attentive and the breakfast service was exceptional. The location was a 10-minute walk between both Windermere and Bowness. Couldn’t have asked for anything more from a guesthouse.

A very nice, quiet place in a good location, a reasonably short walk to both Bowness and Windermere. The host, Paula, is very kind and helpful and I really enjoyed the wonderful breakfast! If I come back to the Lake District I'll stay there again.

The owners (husband and wife) are friendly and helpful. After we checked out in the morning , we left our luggage there for being picked up late evening. The owners kindly gave us a key for the front door, so we can come back to pick up luggage’s in our convenience. We appreciate their kindness.
