“Brilliant Find”

Reviewed 30 March 2013

We had never been to the Lake District before and we were not disappointed. Unfortunately the weather was not very kind to us when we were there. We stayed for the weekend at the Holmlea Guest House and we were not disappointed. Very friendly staff, bedroom and dining room spotlessly clean and the breakfast was superb - very healthy cooking.... More

Thank you for your lovely comments. We are indeed only a short distance from the Lake and all the attractions/amenities. Bowness has so much to offer and we are proud to be located in such an excellent quiet position for exploring the wonderful area. We're glad you liked the room at the back of the house.
