My husband and I visited the lakes last week and were extremely impressed with the South View guest house. Check in was very easy, there was the usual selection of teas and coffees in the room and we were invited to try the complimentary selection of alternative fruit teas etc from the dining room. After the guided tour of the... More

Having been on 3 mountain walking trips in Northern Spain some years ago, organised by Southview's proprieters, Kate and Barry, I was very keen to stay in their guesthouse. I spent a very pleasant 2 nights at Southview. The room was the most spacious I have experienced for a long time, with modern, comfortable furniture and a beautifully-fitted en-suite. Lovely... More

Excellent location round the corner from the train station southview was a perfect base for our 4 night stay in Windermere. The room we stayed in was clean and tidy and offered more space than we thought, the en-suite although small was perfectly formed and the shower was great. The breakfast offered was a combo of cold breakfast and traditional... More

Very welcoming arrival, lovely location in Windermere and very comfortable accommodation the only drawback being the 'superior' double bed being two single beds put together. The indoor pool was a great extra and breakfast was pleasant, although a little on the early side for those who like a slight lie in. Definitely recommend, would like to stay again! More
