Glencree

I am writing this review in hope of at least getting a response. Myself and my partner made a booking through Wowcher and have seen that glencree is not honouring red letter days so we were concerned if that affects Wowcher too. We have emailed, been on chat, left voice message and called numerous times to see if our booking is confirmed and had no response after a few days. No one picks up the phone so we now have to cancel even if our booking didn’t go through as we are not prepared to travel 2.5hrs on the off chance we have a room!

We made the booking last minute and we weren't disappointed. Glencree is a great guest house in a fab location. Ian is a very welcoming host who provides an excellent breakfast. Our room was small but very comfortable, and the balcony was a welcome addition. Free parking is always a bonus, and with the guest house being in the middle of Windermere and Bowness, you can easily walk to both locations. Would definitely recommend Glencree, and the only reason I didn't mark as a five was due to the size of the room. I understand larger rooms are available and will ask for one of these should we stay again.

Great place to stay! The rooms are modern and quirky! The host was great and breakfast was first class. we had to use a spiral staircase to get to our room which was brilliant ! The only issue I had was that the lighting in the rooms wasn’t great for putting my make up on. Would I stay again…..most definitely

Wow.. this little but full of character is one of the nicest and cozy guest house I've stayed in. The room we stayed in was lovely and spacious. The whole area was spotless. There was plenty of parking on site but had an overflow just across the road. The breakfast was delicious. The host was a star. We will definitely be coming back

We spent the night here in the romantic double room with decking. Room was beautiful, and it was lovely to overlook the water when out on the decking. Breakfast was good, would recommend and we hope to come back soon. Only a short walk into bowness which was a bonus.

I loved everything about this place! Firstly the location is perfect, the b&b is located on Lake Road just a short walk away from Windermere & Bowness on Windermere. The room was extremely clean & spacious, well equipped with a large fridge & loads of Lake District small business products such as tea, coffee, soap etc. It’s great to see B&Bs work with small local businesses and really gives an authenticity to the B&B. The Room also came equipped with a tablet with loads of information, breakfast options/orders. You can also book Lake trips through the tablet and contact Ian (The owner) if you have any issues! The breakfast was one of the best I’ve had at a B&B, you can order pretty much whatever you want the night before using the tablet which made the whole ordering breakfast process a lot slicker and easier. Ian was amazing! Really great guy. He was extremely welcoming to me and my girlfriend and made us and other guests feel at home! At breakfast you could just tell by overhearing conversations that Ian was extremely interactive with all the guests and was genuinely intrigued in what they had planned for the day. Best till last, When you stay at the B&B you get access to a gym/ spa with a pool, sauna, big jacuzzi, steam room the works. We asked Ian if we could go after we checked out and he was completely fine with it. Amazing place to go after a good sleep and scrumptious full English!
