What a lovely little gem. From my lovely clean room I had a view of the lake. The bed was so comfy and the host’s Jill and Phil were so friendly and helpful with excellent local knowledge. The breakfast was AMAZING, with good local produce and freshly cooked.

A lovely place to stay with all the little touches that make it stand out. We love everything about it. The hosts Phil and Jill are the ideal hosts who go out of their way to make it a memorable stay. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The breakfast never fails to please and all of this is on the doorstep to the lakes and some beautiful walks. We would recommend it to anyone and we will definitely be staying there again.

Me and my partner stayed here for a few days during our time in Bowness. The B&B is located in a lovely spot near the lake front, with great access to restaurants and public transport. Our room was lovely and quiet, with very comfortable beds. Jill was an excellent host and made us feel very welcome. The B&B were accommodating to vegans/veggies and provided a delicious Full Cumbrian breakfast too! Would definitely reccomend to family and friends :)

Just spent a couple of days up in The Lakes staying at Bay House Guest House. Jill and Phil were perfect hosts with nothing to much trouble to make us feel very welcome from the moment they met us when we arrived. Very clean and tidy and everything you need is supplied to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Breakfast is exactly what you need to set you up for the day with The Full Cumbrian something to look forward to each morning. The location is perfect for the many local pubs and amenities with the walk to Lake Windermere within 5/10 minutes away passing the aforementioned bars along the way. Overall a very enjoyable weekend and next time we go the first choice of accommodation will be The Bay House. Thanks Jill and Phil for helping make the weekend a memorable one.

This guesthouse is tucked away just above the boat trips and bus station on the lake. Stayed here a couple of times before. Its a great find. You can park your car in the nearby car park for 4 days £19 ....bargain!! Spotlessly clean with lovely comfy beds. A gorgeous piping hot breakfast of your choice. Thank you so much to Jill & Phil for your superb hospitality. So friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Well worth a stay. Hope to see you again soon. We'll certainly never stay anywhere else now when we visit the lakes. 12/10

Absolutely stunning location, property was extremely clean and Jill was very friendly and welcoming to us! Room was very comfortable with en suite which included a shower. Facilities was available in the room for making hot drinks as well as towels being provided for us. The bed was very comfortable to sleep on and the bedding was very cosy. There was also a TV in our room for us to use and the property had WIFI for customer use as-well which was very nice and our mobile internet reception was none existent when out and about the local area. We chose to have the full breakfast on both of our mornings during our stay and my was we very pleased with it! The food was excellent quality and the was extremely tasty! You can chose to have toast also with your breakfast and a choice of tea or coffee is available with fresh orange out in the dining room to help yourselves to. Jill was extremely friendly, helpful and made sure to check in with us during our breakfast to make sure we was happy and if we would like anything else. I would definitely recommend this property for your stay and we will be back again at some point in the future.
