      Can not recommend enough”

      Me and my girlfriend stayed for 2 nights. First off the rooms are immaculate and well thought out. You need for nothing whilst in your room. We was in room 3 with a four poster bed and it was so comfortable after a long day walking we was both asleep by ten. The hosts are just incredible. So welcoming and knowledgeable. They both will help in any way they can whether its directions, walking routes, restaurant recommendations. Just both so approachable and friendly. Finally they went out and bought ingredients to provide me with my choice of vegan breakfast both mornings brought to our room and WOW vegan waffles with syrup and fruit. Best service I have had staying anywhere. Thank you and I hope to visit again. Genna Smith

      Me and my partner both stayed at Kirkwood Guest House to celebrate our 5th anniversary. The owners were brilliant and accommodating, as well as offering us lots of advice on activities to do/areas to explore. The room itself was super clean with everything needed for a night away, also providing tea and coffee! The house is in a great location with only a 10 minute walk to Windermere town centre itself. We had a lovely experience and can not wait to return, Thank you Richard and Paula for a lovely time!

      We stayed at Kirkwood Guest House last July during our first trip to Lake District. It's a beautiful place and the hosts are second to none. The breakfast in bed was simply amazing and super appreciated after climbing Helvellyn. It's also ideally situated inbetween Bowness and Windermere (both are about 10-15min walk away). Would definitely recommend and stay again!

      We stayed here for 3 nights in July 2021. A warm welcome upon arrival. The room was very clean and the location of the guest house is only a 10 min walk either way to Windermere or Bowness on Windermere. The breakfast was excellent and lots of free street parking on the same road as the guest house which is set back from the main road, making it peaceful on a night.
