Fantastic stay at the beautiful Lodge. Mike & Lynn are great hosts, very friendly. Our room was lovely and very clean which overlooked the well maintained garden. Freshly cooked breakfast each morning in the gorgeous dining room. The accommodation is in a fantastic location, nicely set back but just a couple of minutes stroll to the bar’s & restaurants. A short stroll took us to the lake. We would highly recommend a stay here and would definitely stay again. Thanks Mike & Lynn for a great stay, hope to return soon!

Just returned from our long weekend in Windermere, after a difficult few months, this was the perfect get away we needed. We’d never been to the Lake District before, so completely new to the area and normally we’d stay in more commercial places, so this was also a bit of a break from the norm for us. But it absolutely didn’t disappoint, Mike and Lynn’s passion for what they do really shines through. Mike warmly welcomed us upon arrival, going through check-in bits and confirmed we can still use the car park even though we were super early. He gave some very helpful tips on the area - such as walking down Beemire to Bowness-on-Windermere, for a more scenic route, rather than the main road. As a couple without kids, we always look for adult only places, so this was an ideal choice for us. We were in Room 6, which had a great view over the gorgeous garden (which Mike confirmed guests are free to use). The room was probably the cleanest room we’ve ever stayed in, and although we weren’t expecting it, this was cleaned daily throughout our stay which was lovely. Room has a lovely whirlpool bath as a bonus, and the shower is great, although the seal under the shower screen may need to be changed as we often had puddles on the floor after shower. The bathroom extractor fan does stay on for about 30 minutes after the use (started with the light switch) - not so much or an issue in the day, but is a bit disruptive if you use the bathroom in the middle of the night. Otherwise, we had absolutely no issues with the room whatsoever. Great to have a fridge in the room; perhaps a small jug of ‘proper milk’ could be kept in here for tea/coffee rather than the individual milk sachets, as this would be more in keeping with the overall quality of the place, but I know this isn’t always practicable. Breakfasts are at pre-arranged times slots upon arrival, which actually worked well for us. Lynn was very friendly and attentive hosting/serving in the morning, with lots on offer. Mike’s breakfasts were very tasty, no complaints from breakfast at all. Nice to see home made bread and jams too, lovely touch. Would definitely recommend the Eggs Benedict! Both Mike and Lynn are full of great tips and recommendations on the area, from walks to go on, to places to eat (Vinegar Jones is great if you’re in the mood for fish and chips in Bowness!). The location itself is the perfect balance between being tucked away in a quiet spot, whilst being only a minutes walk from the hubbub of Windermere life, shops, restaurants and bars. If you did want to walk to the Lake, there are 2 options: Lake Road is the main road there, with a direct route taking about 20 minutes; or you could take Beemire, which is a more scenic route, offering Mountain View’s, through fields and wooded area, with a waterfall tucked just off the route. If your legs aren’t feeling up to it however, you can get the No. 599 Bus from the Library, literally a minute walk from the Lodge, that will take you directly to Bowness in only a few minutes - £2 a single, and takes contessa payment. Lots of places to eat locally, San Pietro is a lovely Italian just off the high street, which is worth booking in advance; The Tilly is also very nice, but you can’t book, so just have to turn up and hope! There’s lots of hype about Homeground Coffee, just round the corner, with a queue going half-way up the road; the cakes were great, but if you’re just after coffee, there are plenty of other places you can go that standup without the long queue. Overall, this was a perfect get away for us, with Wheatlands Lodge providing a superb place to stay with fabulous hosts. We would return for our next trip to the Lakes.

“Lovely place to stay would recommend”

Mike and Lynn excellent hosts, nothing is not too much trouble. Hotel excellent very clean , breakfast was excellent as well. Would certainly return and would recommend to anyone. Hotel just off Mail road but lovely and quiet. Bus stop at the top of the short lane to Bowness.

“Gorgeous guest house right in the centre of Windermere”

A wonderful guest house conveniently placed to some good restaurants in Windermere and wonderful walks too. Mike and Lynne have a spotless, beautiful place and they are great hosts. Book direct with them for the best deal. We can’t wait for the chance to return there.
