Archway Guest House

Hosts were so niceeeee! The room was comfortable with a great mountain view. I really love the breakfast. And can walk only 5 minutes to the railway station and 3 minutes to the bus stop.

Wonderful guesthouse to stay in and visit the Lake District. Room was nice and clean ! Hosts Anita and Denis were super hospitable and friendly, and whipped up a fantastic Caribbean breakfast (Saltfish Fritters) and Full English Breakfast for us each morning :) Highly recommended for anyone who wishes to stay at Windermere !

I’ve just returned home from a fabulous walking weekend in The Lake District with friends. Anita and Dennis at The Archway offered a very warm welcome indeed and were perfect hosts throughout our stay. Pretty much all dietary requirements and restrictions were catered for at our lovely breakfasts and Dennis’s Caribbean option was definitely worth a try! One of our friends was able to have breakfast with us at The Archway as she was staying ‘room only’ elsewhere - so that was a kind gesture. Our accommodation was simple, homely, convenient and clean. Anita and Dennis made it a home from home and nothing was too much trouble. Perfect hosts!

I had to drive to Barrow in furness to pick up some items but decided to stay in winderemere overnight instead of driving home , we chose the Archway based on very favourable reviews , we booked online and we were kept well informed regarding checking in and out times plus tips on local places to visit and to eat , which I thought was very nice , on arrival we were greeted by Anita who made us feel so very welcome , we were shown to our room and everything was explained to us regarding the utilities , we were also given two slices of lemon drizzle to go with our cuppas which we thought was very nice indeed . Our room was very clean and the modern shower was hot and powerful , the bed was very comfortable too . Our hosts were super friendly to us and were very attentive while we had a fantastic breakfast the following morning , nothing was too much trouble and I cannot recommend The Archway guest house any more highly , the location is very central to the middle of the town and we were not disturbed by any traffic noise at all , we have stayed in quite a few b&b and hotels in Winderemere and the Archway is up there with the best and we really are looking forward to staying here in the very near future .... *****

Anita and Denis are incredible hosts. We had a lovely time in the house which was equipped well and the rooms were cozy yet modern. The breakfast every morning was delicious. The recommendations the hosts made for places to visit were perfect as well. They were both always on hand to make suggestions or we loved our conversations with them.

We had a lovely stay, Denis and Anita are very accommodating. The guesthouse is a fabulous place to explore from and the lemon cake on arrival was a brilliant touch. The superior room is a great size and home made cookies were provided. An exceptional breakfast is included, we will definitely return!

Anita and Denis are super nice people. This was our second stay with them. We would absolutely stay with them again. Breakfast is spot on!

Had an enjoyable, pleasant and memorable 5-day stay and was well taken care of by Anita and Denis, the chef who cooked delicious breakfast. Would love to be back!

Comfortable in every way. Genuinely warm hosts.
