Archway Guest House

Wonderful guesthouse to stay in and visit the Lake District. Room was nice and clean ! Hosts Anita and Denis were super hospitable and friendly, and whipped up a fantastic Caribbean breakfast (Saltfish Fritters) and Full English Breakfast for us each morning :) Highly recommended for anyone who wishes to stay at Windermere !

From the moment we arrived we felt welcome. Anita brought us homemade cake on arrival into our comfy room. Coffee, tea, water, cookies are all supplied in the room. Such a comfortable bed, and douvet and 3 pillows each. The towels are absorbant and thick. The breakfasts were amazing and such a lot to choose from. Better than most restaurants. You must try Dennis's scrambled eggs!! You can use the dining room if you wish to bring your own dinner, which we did. A good place to watch the sunset over the mountains. The location is perfect for exploring the lake district. Thank you again Anita and Dennis for a memorable stay. Hope to see you again. Baaabaaa

We had a great stay for 4 nights. Anita is a great host and does everything to make sure you have a good stay. Especially the breakfast is fantastic, a lot of fresh fruit and the bagel with salmon, avocado and egg is great. But also the English breakfast is possible. If you want to see the lake district this is a good place to stay. The room Windermere has a fantastic shower after a day hiking

I always enjoy staying at Archway Guesthouse when visiting the Lakes. Anita and Denis are warm, kind and helpful hosts who go out of their way to make sure of a great visit. It's a good location in Windermere and the rooms are nicely furnished, comfortable and well kitted out. And the breakfast is excellent :)

Anita and Dennis were fantastic hosts for our three night stay in Windermere. We stayed in the Grasmere room on the second floor, and the bed was a large king. The bathroom was small but newly remodeled with a shower that had both a hand wand and overhead fixture. There was great water pressure and plenty of hot water. The included breakfast was fairly extensive, including various omelets, a full English breakfast, and various "loaded" bagels, including my favorite, which included cream cheese, avocado, and salmon. French toast with maple syrup for those with a sweet tooth was also available. Each morning, you could also help yourself to several juices and fresh fruit. Anita offered great suggestions on what to see in the Lake District and helped us navigate the local bus system. She also provided recommendations for restaurants for evening meals. If in Windermere again, we would stay at the Archway Guest House.
