“Can't wait to go back!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

My Girlfriend and I visited Glenville House this weekend to celebrate my birthday. The room was spotless, the bed was incredibly comfy and not a thing was missing- it was perfect. The breakfast in the morning was possibly the best fry up I've ever tasted! Criag and Lynn are excellent hosts and both of us can't wait to go back to the lakes and stay at Glenville House as the location is brilliant! We even saw red deer from our bedroom window! Hopefully meet Craig and Lynn at the SolBar next time for a drink. Many thanks, Chris and Victoria!

“Highly recommended!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

My Fiance and I arranged to stay at the Glenville House to celebrate my Birthday. We found the hospitality, warm and personal. The food was good and the level of cleanliness was exceptional. The room was supplied with tea, coffee, hand made biscuits, iron and board, hairdryer and even fresh white dressing gowns which was a nice touch. Not to mention the cuddly toy and chocolates on the pillow. There is free on site parking (although limited, but probably ample for residents) and the location is within walking distance of Windermere and Bowness.
We stayed in room four, which was due to be decorated the day we left, however it didnt really need it, it was contemporary and the bed was perfectly comfortable.
Have a wander to the back of the house and if youre lucky, you will see the red deer grazing in the trees or drinking from the Glen.
All in all we were pleasantly surprised at the standard of accomodation here and would recommend it highly.

Room Tip: When we left, all the room doors were open and they all looked as nice as ours.

“LOVED this place & the owners”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

Fab location half way between Bowness & Windermere. My husband took me at the end of October as a birthday treat...and that it was! The rooms were immaculate and we were pleasantly surprised to find very contemporary. Craig & Lynn were so helpful and friendly, they had lots of advice on things to do in the area, places to walk etc. A lovely touch was a card and chocolates left on my pillow as a birthday gift. We'd definitely visit again if only for the breakfast! Loads of choice and cooked fresh to order. We would highly reccomend this B&B, worth calling to check prices direct with them too as they have seasonal offers.

“Top Class!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 December 2011

person found this review helpful

We recently had a two night stay here and really enjoyed ourselves. I can only reiterate the other positive comments posted on here;
We stayed in Room 1 which was spotlessly clean, had a comfy bed, great shower, and was beautifully decorated, fully equipped and had everything you needed to ensure a pleasant stay. The breakfasts were lovely, and the owners were great; they really couldn’t do enough for you and were genuinely warm and welcoming. Everything during our stay was spot on; down to returning after a day out exploring the local area to find a lovely touch of homemade cake waiting for us - which was delicious!
I would highly recommend staying in this B&B to anyone i don’t think you would be disappointed.
