The White House

Bowness-on-Windermere

Located in Bowness-on-Windermere in the Cumbria region, The White House is a 5-star property featuring free WiFi.

The property suggested a nearby car park, which we were able to find easily (though the pay machines were a bit dodgy with international credit cards) and it was only a short stroll to the house. Instructions to get in were fairly strait forward. The rooms were as described - a good sized queen and separate single with adjoining bathroom. I'm sad I didn't get to try out the awesome bath but the double shower was great! The location is excellent, with a short stroll to many eateries and the main shops etc. Mini bar fridge was appreciated.

The room is beautiful and the bed is wide and super comfortable. I checked in quite late, and sent the message earlier so the landlord kindly manage to sent the instruction on how to find my room key which I found it very helpful. The room amenities also quite generous with tea and coffee collections and chocolate drinks. Thanks a lot 👍🏽

This is a self service situation without staff in house but it did feel like we were living in our own grand house. So it was something different. The rooms were comfortable, clean and great tv and coffee facilities. Great location too in the centre of town. 10/10
