Meadowcroft Guest House

Meadowcroft is in a great location for exploring the Lakes District, less than 20-30 minutes drive to Windermere, Ambleside, Hawkshead and Coniston. As an old building, it had a few creaks, but also lots of charm and was pleasantly decorated. The rooms are good-sized by UK standards, very clean and comfortable (including the bed), with lots of storage space. Bathroom was good sized and had plenty of towels (washcloths and hand towels and bath towel for each person!), which is an unexpected luxury in the UK. Good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Breakfast was great - very generous continental breakfast offerings, plus full flexibility in terms of mixing and matching amongst the hot offerings. Breakfast room was bright and cheerful. It was also lovely to have a sitting room upstairs that guests could use, with a comfy sofa, tv, microwave and extra dishes. As we had to leave early our last morning (before breakfast service started), the team were very happy to let us use the upstairs fridge to store continental breakfast things overnight, so we could still have breakfast. Very easy and accommodating check-in process, even for a late arrival. Although not really in town, there is a fun pub just a few minutes walk away, so we didn't have to drive into town for dinner if we didn't want to. Debbie was very entertaining - a born host!

We would award 20 stars for this wonderful accommodation if we could... Completely faultless from check in to check out and the best place we have ever had the pleasure to stay. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and the bedroom was immaculate and very comfortable with an astonishing amount of storage. Everything we could have wished for was supplied, tea, coffee, sugar, milk etc.. Plus there was a little lounge where we could relax with a reading book, play cards or just sit and think how fortunate we were to have found this gem of a place to stay. There was ample parking outside and the location was just perfect with a lovely river flowing past nearby and a very good pub just two minutes away which provided food and drink of the highest quality where we were made very welcome. Our hosts at Meadowcroft were Debbie and Jackie who are two lovely ladies who provided an excellent breakfast every morning in their first class dining room which wouldn't look out of place in a top hotel. They certainly know how to look after their guests and we came away with the feeling that we had made two new friends. We highly recommend this accommodation and will be returning in 2025..

- Great location just outside of Windermere - comfortable and spacious room - clean and tidy room

I love pretty much everything about this place, the rooms are fab, immaculately clean and very comfy beds, great location, and having a residents lounge with a microwave and fridge so you can cook a shop brought ready meal if you are on business and don't feel like going out, or are on a budget is a real bonus and very thoughtful!

Great location, room was comfortable & had what you need. They have a little living room space too with a fridge and some wine glasses etc in which is a nice touch. The staff at breakfast were lovely and the brekkie was good too. There is also a pub a few minutes walk which did nice food! Enough parking & dog friendly
