Three rooms are available, but the meals room can only handle two couples at a time which means you are on a bit an assigned schedule. While the owners will try to fit in with your needs; you will have an assigned time for breakfast. We were able to make that work, but for some others that may not be the case. It's not that we didn't like it; it's more that we were a bit surprised.

This delightful BnB is well located. An easy walk to the town; even for lazy-bones like me! The couple who run the property are delightful. Friendly and informative. They have a lovely pooch: Hamish who makes sure you are well cared for. Off-street parking is directly in front; and Google maps took us to exactly the right spot; making arrival easy. All the rooms are upstairs. Each is different. Ours for instance, had the handwashing basin in the room and not in the ensuite. The furniture is tasteful and comfortable.

Helpful tips from the host, advised us to take bus to Grassmere to save looking for car parking and avoid sitting in traffic.

The bathroom fan turns itself on at random times of the day and night, which woke me up. It was difficult to find the house because it doesn't have a street number and Google maps didn't show its location. It would be good if guests were told it was across the road from a museum, as that is a good landmark to find the house by.

The breakfast was lovely - a cooked breakfast menu as well as cereals, juice and hot drinks, served by the host. We liked the central location of Windermere to explore the Lake District. The host was friendly, welcoming and helpful. The house is set in a beautiful garden, with a stream and a gorgeous waterfall one can sit and enjoy. We appreciated having a kettle and tea and coffee making supplies in our room.

Nothing - all was excellent.

The cottage was an excellent choice, the room was good, breakfast was outstanding and the grounds, including waterfall were beautiful. To top it off, Adrian had a good supply of honey for sale which was infused and extremely tasty. An outstanding stay and we will definitely be back.

Ample on-site car parking And just across the road from the windermere Museum and access to Lake windermere We also want to share a secret with you, but don't tell everyone At the rear of the property, there's a bench overlooking a beautiful waterfall ,we would return after our day's adventure and sit out on the bench with a nice bottle of wine perfect way to end the day. We highly recommend Stockghyll cottage Stayed 16/6/25 -19/6/25 Terry n Carole

For info and my opinion only - rooms are upstairs and not the largest so if you need an accessible property, this might not be the B&B for you.

A B&B that delivers what you would expect - a clean / comfortable room and a well cooked breakfast, with choices available. Approachable owner, car parking available and the 5/10min walk into Bowness is along a flat road with a decent pavement.

While the room was comfortable, a little refresh on the decor would be nice, as there was some peeling wallpaper. But that's just nitpicking – we had a wonderful time.

Our stay at Stockghyll Cottage in Bowness-on-Windermere was simply brilliant. The cottage itself was charming and comfortable, and the breakfast each morning was absolutely delicious – a great way to start the day! What really made our trip special was the incredible hospitality of the owners. They were so friendly and went above and beyond to help us plan our days, offering fantastic suggestions for places to visit and eat. The views from the cottage were breathtaking and added to the overall magical experience of the Lake District. We would definitely stay here again!

Room we had was a bit small and compact for the 2 of us couldn't really move around it very well I'm quite a big guy but bed was comfy though.

Very cosy little cottage with lovely little waterfall at the rear of property and location was good too near to centre. Hosts were lovely too.
