We booked the week before to stay here for the weekend, as it is almost mid-way between Windermere (10 min walk) and Bowness-on-Windermere (15 min walk).
I was originally put off by this spot being listed as a guest house, but my worries were unfounded as it is amazingly good.
There is a large free car park with more spaces than rooms, so you're guaranteed a space.
Our welcome was really good ( I'd emailed them to ask about vegan breakfast options, so they had left soya milk on our teatray in our room).
Our room (11) was a good size with a king-size four poster, a sofa to sit and watch the TV from, a chair and coffee table in the box bay window space, and a large bathroom with a corner shower and large bath.
We were on the ground floor facing the main road but heard very little road noise.
Breakfast was good, as were the vegan sausages, and I was even offered vegan yogurt.
There is a great choice of restaurants in both Windermere and Bowness-on- Windermere, but because it was peak holiday season a lot were already booked up.
Our highlights were walking to the peak of Orrest Head, and the Windermere lake cruises.
I definitely recommend Hawksmoor Guest House, it's just amazing.
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 cosy guest house in walking distance to the main shops and boat cruises on Lake Windermere. Quiet location with good parking outside. Clean room and bathroom. Excellent breakfast and very friendly staff.
Very comfortable room with big bed and nice ensuite, very warm. Breakfasts were delicious, sometimes a bit of a wait but served with a smile. Would recommend.
