Lakes stay
Host is kind, helpful & friendly. House was immaculately clean with beautiful gardens.
The decor is a little dated, the bed was very soft and the bedding too heavy and warm for the time of year. Breakfast offer is cereal, fruit, yoghurt & toast, tea/coffee.

Clean and Comfortable
Parking can be a bit difficult in front of the guest house during high season. There is space at the back but tight for room.
Frank and his lovely dog were very welcoming and Frank had good tips about where to eat and drink - what needs to be booked or walks ins, etc.
Our room was clean and comfortable and there were some nice little touches like daily bottled water, chocolate biscuits with the tea making facility and toiletries.
It feels a little strange sitting in the (spacious) kitchen for breakfast which we would have liked earlier than 9am. A cooked breakfast would also have been nice.
Overall a good place to stay and great location for exploring the lakes.

Thumbs up for Frank and College House
Our host Frank was such a lovely guy. He made us feel at home. After 4 days we thought shame that we were unable stay longer. Accommodation is good, and the location was best for us, easy access to everywhere by walking.... Thanks again Frank......

Very friendly host, showed us to our room, which was lovely, bright & airy. It was spotlessly clean & the towels were the softest I have ever felt. We were there for 3 nights & would definitely go back if we’re in Windermere again. It’s about 20 minutes walk down to the lake, with lots of shops cafes & pubs. Very enjoyable stay

The property is in a fantastic location, in the centre of Windermere, close to the shops and bars. The service from the owner was fabulous. He is extremely friendly, kind and helpful.

Frank is a lovely guy who runs a wonderful B&B in a clean & well kept Victorian home, in a great location. He made us feel very welcome. We were lucky enough to stay when the garden was in full bloom.
