This is a response to the the people who have made derogatory remarks about Melbourne Guest House, Biskey Howe Road, Bowness-on-Windermere on this website.

Another excellent stay at the Melbourne Guest House. We have been coming to this guest house twice a year for over 14 years (and will continue to do so) and it is still a great place to unwind and relax. I am very surprised at the negative comments that have been posted regarding the Owners being scruffy. This so Untrue.... More

I've just read 3 reviews about Melbourne Guest House and I could'nt disagree more. I've just been on a 2 night stay their and I couldn't fault it what so ever...The two brothers that run it are very helpful and extremely friendly, the room was clean and cosy and beautifully decorated.
