Room 7 was very nice and beds are comfy. The house is very clean and the breakfast was nice and big.
Only thing i would say is that around the bath was a bit black and moldy in parts (a pet hate of mine) .
Other than that, a nice stay, and id definently return

Extremely friendly and helpful staff in a very clean, well organized hotel that's not often the case of modestly priced
hotels in a high value tourist area such as Windermere in the Lake District.

A very satisfied stay at the Hawksmoor Guest House. The staff were very welcoming and friendly throughout our stay. Breakfast was amazing and cooked from scratch. Our room was available earlier than stated and was very clean and comfortable. The location was great too, just a 15 minute walk to the town and Lake Windermere. We would highly recommend a stay here!!

The property was clean and had a peaceful ambiance. It felt like home away from home.
The water pressure in the shower was slightly erratic but it didn’t spoil our experience.
