Ashley, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A beautiful and unique B & B. We had a beautiful room with a free standing bath. Beautifully decorated throughout. There were a lot of stairs.. so if that’s not for you.. be aware! Parking was tight but manageable. We did walk home from town, but it was a bit of a hike after a long day. Staff were lovely and breakfast was wonderful.

Lovely stay.

Lovely stay.pleasant friendly staff nice room,comfortable bed and a excellent breakfast brought to our room.We would definitely recommend.
david, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Pleasant stay with a few drawbacks. The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable, making for a relaxing base. Staff were friendly and helpful—especially appreciated the lovely walk recommendation. Breakfast was good quality ingredients and nice, although the dining area felt a bit cramped. Unfortunately, cleanliness let the room down slightly, with stained carpets and hairs on the bathroom floor on arrival. Noise from the room above was quite disruptive, especially being woken at 1am. With better soundproofing and a deeper clean, it could have been a perfect stay.
rachel, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room 8

Rum Doodle was almost everything we could of asked for. Was a beautiful building with off road parking available. It was located half way between the busy lakeside and the top of Windermere. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was a great way to start the day. The only issue we had was in room 8, that we had booked, the bathtub was in the corner of the bedroom. This was against the slanted ceiling, which made showering impossible. This was not mentioned in the room description, otherwise we would have selected a different room.
