From getting the email so we could get in and the ease of parking, it was a great start. We never met the hosts but to be fair we didn’t need too. The room was spacious, very clean ( including the bathroom) we’ll definitely look Latimers up again if we go to Bowness again. Highly recommend.

I was in room 5 and had a great stay. The room was huge with everything I needed for an overnight work visit. It was warm and cosy with a lovely spacious bathroom and nice shower. I had no difficulty securing a parking space

Just enjoyed a 3 nights stay. Absolutely gorgeous accommodation, tastefu decor and really spacious. We arrived and the hallway had the most gorgeous smell, our room was absolutely spotless and had a lovely homely feeling. A gorgeous giraffe lamp in the Snug! The bathroom was really clean and great products. We will definitely visit again and highly recommend to friends. Also the position is perfect and we had onsite parking.

The guest house was in a great location. Parking isn’t great as one space can’t be utilised due to the garage and only one car looked like it could get in due to the spaces in front. The room itself was very clean and nicely decorated, as was the bathroom. We never seen any staff around. We got stocked up of tea and coffee but they left the dirty mugs which I would have expected clean ones. The bin was also emptied but our empty pizza boxes were left under the bin where I put them hoping they would be taken away. I also thought clean towels each day would have been nice.

Latimer House is in the perfect location for Bowness & Windermere. The property has 5 parking places on a first come first basis (the accommodation has 7 rooms) but the block has many free parking available and so parking was no problem at all.

Very clean and lovely to have 2 separate and spacious rooms.
Great to have a fridge also.
Only slight downside was lack of shelf in bathroom and limited space to put toiletries etc.
Would certainly stay here again.

Great guesthouse and excellent value.
Great modern room, lovely and warm especially in the freezing temperatures of November! Such a great find in the heart of Windermere. There was no noise throughout our stay and free parking is a bonus.

Perfect little private get away pretty much in the middle of town.
Small premium over other rooms available at Latimer house which have you added privacy and plenty of room for two to enjoy 3 nights away.
