Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Kirkwood Guest House impresses guests with its beautifully decorated rooms, often described as spacious and clean, some featuring en-suites. The location is ideal, offering convenient access to both the north and south ends of Windermere and Bowness, making it easy to explore the area. Many appreciate the included breakfast, especially the homemade compote and yogurt; however, a few guests have found the mirror positioning in some en-suites a bit low. Tea and coffee facilities are a much-loved amenity in the rooms.

decorated room tea facilities coffee facilities low mirror flimsy curtain small room
I contacted the owners regarding an early check-in. They accommodated my request, i was so grateful. the room was beautifully decorated. it included tea and coffee facilities, which i always appreciate. breakfast was cooked perfectly. The gluten-free options were excellent.
the mirror in the en-suite was positioned low. it made it difficult to use without crouching. the window had only a flimsy curtain. i woke up early due to the daylight. the room itself felt a bit small.

sloping ceiling small en-suite
breakfast service was acceptable to be fair and it did not disappoint
i must say the room size was not ideal the sloping ceiling created an obstacle i often bumped my head on i am not even that tall the small en-suite made basic tasks challenging like using the mirror without crouching.

richard and paula were very pleasant. the place was clean and immaculate. safe off road parking existed. top marks go to the hotel's location, within walking distance of the lakes, shopping and dining.
the room i stayed in was lovely, though small. it was nicely decorated, however not really suitable for tall people. the majority of the room was half height, with beautiful exposed beams.
