We have just got back from a weekend in Windermere at Greystone. We have been going there about twice a year for the past 9 years (I wish we could go more!!) & we wouldn't even consider staying anywhere else in the Lakes.We have ALWAYS received a very warm welcome (It's like staying with family!) & Janet is a wonderful...

We stayed here for a weekend in March to celebrate a friend's birthday. The cottage only has three guest bedrooms so the six of us had the whole place to ourselves which was lovely. It is on the edge of Windermere village on a quiet side street but only a couple of minutes walk into the village. A walk to... More

I cannot speak highly enough of this little piece of heavan :-) Since finding this little nugget about 7 years ago now we would not consider staying anywhere else when we visit the Lake District, we always feel that we are going back to visit an old friend. The rooms are so welcoming with the decor quite luxurious, they are... More

What a fantastic B & B. Arrived late Friday afternoon, about 5.30 to see a lovely Blue & White cottage, with plenty of parking outside. We rang the doorbell and were welcomed by Janet the owner. After introducing herself she took up us up to our room for the weekend. ( The Blue Room) The room was spotless, and smelled... More

We were expecting a fairly standard B&B before arriving, but Janet has clearly made a lot of effort making the place very welcoming and well decorated. She was a warm, cheerful host and a delight to chat with. She made a lovely breakfast, and was very helpful in deciding places worth visiting in the Lakes. The B&B is a few... More

We were so pleased we booked to stay at Greystone Cottage. Hostess Janet is lovely, friendly and cheerful and a mine of information about what to do in the area. The room was large, comfortable and beautifully decorated. En suite, shower, loo and basin was large and newly tiled. Everything was very clean and well kept. Breakfast in the quaint... More

Myself and my partner have just returned from our first visit to the lakes and will definitely be returning on the condition there's a room at Greystone B&B. Our room was very clean and had everything we needed and more for our stay to be comfortable. The breakfast room was sweet and had lots of books and leaflets on hand... More

This B&B is located in a quiet location, easy walk to town (2 blocks) for shopping and eating. The host, Janet, is a very cheerful person who will help you with all your needs, such as advising you were to get good meals, making bookings with tour operators for tours of this beautiful area, and of course, Beatrix potter country....

We have just returned from Greystone B and B. Just perfect. Janet was an excellent host-so welcoming and friendly but not overlly familiar. We had no complaints at all. Our first visit to B and B but will certainly be making another visit there. More

I have stayed in a lot of hotels and B&B's before with work and other occasions and my ratings truly reflect this B&B! We stayed for 2 nights and my philosophy of 'as long as its clean and has a good shower' was blown out the water with this place! It was clean, quiet, ideally located and Janet was brilliant....
