My wife and I try to get a short break each year without our four children. We love the Lakes and this year chose to come back and use Windermere as our base. We didn't want a large hotel, or a one room B&B. Southview was just right. The service was very personal & friendly but equally professional. They were... More

I'm not usually a fan of B&Bs (I blame previous experiences where I have felt like I was an unwelcome guest in someone's back room!), but Southview was very good. We'd struggled to find reasonably priced accommodation in the area for the bank holiday weekend, but we found it here. The location was great and allowed us to pack lots... More

After spending quite a while deciding where to stay within Windermere, my wife and i decided upon Southview Guest House and we were not disappointed. It met our criteria of a good location and the added bonus of having an indoor swimming pool. We booked a Superior room with bath spa and shower.The hosts were very friendly and the cleaning... More

My husband and I had 3 nights at Southview for my 60th birthday and it was really great. A lovely piece of carrot cake was brought to our room on arrival - nice touch. Our bedroom was lovely with spa bath and the pool was a lovely treat after walking much of the days. We had great breakfasts and could... More

We tried some of the eating out recommendations and... More

Really loved this hotel! Setting was perfect, rooms modern and well-decorated, fantastic choice for breakfast and hosts Kate and Barry were really helpful and friendly. Loved being able to sit out on the terrace with a beer and even to take a dip in the indoors swimming pool when I could still see snow on the mountains. Definitely somewhere I'll... More

My partner and I stayed here just for two nights, wish we could have stayed longer, have stayed in a few B&B's/Guest Houses in this area but this was definately the nicest we have been to so far in this price range. Very warm welcome by the host Barry, including being brought fresh milk and carrot cake to our room... More
