On first seeing the romantic room we did think it was small but the balcony made up for that. They have made the most of the space, not much wardrobe space for long items but there are plenty of hooks up in room and bathroom so hung dresses on there so wasn't a problem. Breakfast was lovely freshly cooked to order and Ian was very friendly and pleasant. Idealy placed for 10 mins walk into Bowness or Windermere. We had a pleasant stay and wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

We had room 6 on ground floor which suited us it was a small double but very cosy and spotless. The tablet had all the info. Though as a digital dinosaur it took mea while to get used to it lovely toiletries and towels and brilliant fresh breakfast lived up to the reviews

Compact and bijou

Tablet in room didn't work properly on first night, so didn't know options so no order sent, got a full English which was very good, Tablet was replaced but we didn't notice until we were told next morning, was very disappointed with size of room, especially as there was an extra charge for the room we choose, very nicely dressed, but the cushions had to be set on floor leaving even less floor space.

Birthday in the lakes

Fantastic 3 night stay at this b&b. 15 mins walk into bowness and same the other way to Windermere so perfect for restaurants and bars . We stopped in the suite with its own lounge and patio with hot tub which was fantastic , but you would need to book well in advance for this as it’s not always available . Everything was spot on for our stay , breakfast in the morning consisted of fruit and yogurt , cereals, all different jams and spreads , and full English breakfast and other things available . Ian the host kept in communication with us to make sure our stay was perfect. Would highly recommend this place and we certainly will be coming back again 👍

Beautiful guest house, fantastic host!

We have just come back from a beautiful, comfortable stay at Glencree. Ian is a fantastic host and communication was very easy. To our surprise, we were upgraded to a suite which was absolutely stunning! The guest house is about a 10 minute walk from everything (including the lake) so brilliant location. Waking up to the sound of the running stream outside was one of the highlights, so peaceful! Breakfast was very well ran, and the food was lovely. For our first trip to the Lake District we couldn’t have chosen better and I think we’ve found our go-to place! Thank you!

6/10 Good

We had a nice stay at Glencree. Ian is a good host and provided good service at breakfast. We stayed in the romantic room with balcony, and was provided a bottle of Prosecco in the room which was a lovely touch. The room is very small and we needed to remove a lot of the bed cushions/throw into cupboards as there wasn’t much room to leave them elsewhere off the bed. The balcony is really nice overlooking a stream. Shower was okay with nice The Lakes toiletries. For me a small downside (as I’ve noticed in a few B&Bs in the lakes) is not being greeted on check-in, and this is a downside to proprietors living off-site. It was good though that Ian served breakfast, as we couldn’t get our tablet to work in our room, it would have been good to have a menu of options available for food at breakfast table. I’ve stayed in other B&Bs with more of a range of food but the food ordered did taste good and accommodated gluten free. Cleanliness: Bedding had a stain on when we arrived but to be fair we arrived slightly before check-in and the final “once over” hadn’t been done so this might have been caught if we’d arrived later and the bedding changed. When we notified Ian he was round in 5 minutes to sort the issue. Some of the blinds could do with a bit of a deeper clean. Bathroom was very clean.
