Great room, great hosts and great breakfast. Very close to Bowness strip (pubs / restaurants) and the lake itself. Will definitely be returning
We had a lovely two-night stay. The house is very nice, our room was warm, spacious and comfortable, and the breakfast was excellent with lots of options.
The location was excellent for Bowness shops, bars, cafes and restaurants, plus Lake Windermere too, with a 10-minute walk.
We would definitely stay here again.
Oakfold house is convenient located in Bowness on Windermere, a mere 2-min walk to bus-stops going towards the pier or to Grasmere. We had also walked 15 mins to the pier and 15 mins to Windermere town centre.Its proprietors, Chris & Robin are attentive and hospitable hosts who ensure we have a pleasant and memorable stay in Windermere, giving us advice to make our way around. They also ensure we start the day with a hearty breakfast of our own choice. Their guest lounge is a Iovely place to relax after a day out.
Great stay, quiet location but perfect for Bowness. Room was very comfortable, spacious and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was very good, ran by a lovely couple.
Great place to stay! We had a lovely break and stayed here for New Years, the location is amazing (10 min walk to the main Bowness area) and the service by the team was exceptional. We will definitely be staying here again on our next visit to the lakes.
Great stay for 2 nights. Check in was easy. Though the room for 3 persons was a little tight, it was cosy with adequate walking space. Just be mindful that opening of big luggage could be a challenge in the limited area. Breakfast options were great and hosts were most friendly. Certainly a recommended accommodation in Windermere. Within walking distance to restaurants, shops and shopping. Love it!

Couldn’t fault anything . Clean . Good good,
Great hosts . would return again
11 out of 10 stars. We’ve stayed in 100s of hotels and Oakfold House has been one of the very best. Delicious breakfast, very friendly and helpful hosts and just the perfect location very close to the lake and the heart of Bowness.
Thank you so much, Robyn and Chris, for making our stay in Windermere a dream coming true ❤️
We had a lovely stay and were met by Robyn and Chris, who were willing to accommodate us dropping our bags off early. It was a really lovely surprise to find our bags in our room when we returned later!
The room was really comfortable with all of the little luxuries that we’d need and extras available in the guest lounge if we needed them.
Breakfast was delicious and had everything we could possibly want. Lovely fresh local produce too!
We’d love to stay here again and would recommend to friends and family.
We loved everything about Oakfold House. The quiet yet close to everything location, the beautiful room and view from our room, delicious breakfast. Easy access to buses to explore the many towns around the lake, as we did not have a car. Chris and Robyn were extremely helpful and lovely to chat to - cannot recommend highly enough.
Cozy and warm place to stay. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food is great too. It takes twenty minutes to get to the railway station. Highly recommend.
Wonderful place! The car parking is free, the room is clean and comfort, and the breakfast is really good. Only 10 minutes walk to the lake and 20 minutes walk to Windermere town center. I definitely want to be there again.
