Meadowcroft Guest House

Perfectly located, 5-10mins from Windermere. Dog friendly - staff were very welcoming, very attentive during breakfast, lovely conversations. The double room at the front, very clean and cosey, we fitted a medium sized dog create in the room comfortably. Breakfast was amazing, staff chatted with us, made us feel very welcome, very attentive to guests needs, all in all - Breakfast was spot on, bacon, eggs etc .. my partner has allergies - very attentive. Thank you. The Watermill Inn pub just up the road, perfect for evening meals.

During our recent stay at Meadowcroft Guest House, my partner and I were thoroughly impressed by the exceptional experience provided. From the moment we arrived, the staff's warm and friendly demeanor made us feel truly welcome. Our room was spacious and impeccably clean, featuring a comfortable king-size bed and large windows that offered a delightful view of the surrounding countryside. The en-suite bathroom was well-appointed, complete with complimentary toiletries. We also appreciated the in-room tea and coffee making facilities, which added a cozy touch to our mornings.​ Although we didn't realize that breakfast was included in our stay and therefore didn't partake, we've since learned that Meadowcroft offers a generous full English breakfast in their comfortable dining room. The guest house's location in Ings Village is ideal for exploring the Lake District. We found it conveniently situated for visits to nearby attractions, and the ample parking provided made our excursions hassle-free.​ Overall, our experience at Meadowcroft Guest House was nothing short of exceptional. The combination of comfortable accommodations, attentive staff, and a prime location makes it a perfect choice for anyone looking to explore the Lake District. We wholeheartedly give it a five-star rating and look forward to returning in the future.

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!

The whole building was very clean, our room was very comfortable and good breakfasts - the scrambled eggs were done just right (nothing worse than rubbery scrambled eggs!) Debbie and Jackie were friendly, chatty and helpful. We liked their dog, Sally. Dog towels provided. Very hot water. There is a communal lounge where you can microwave your dinner if you don't want to eat out every night. We won't be staying anywhere else on our next trip to the Lakes.

Ideal location for visiting surrounding areas and all of the lakes, the facilities were excellent and a hearty breakfast, the local pub the Watermill is only 2-3min walk through the village and serves good food and local craft eyed ales, there is ample parking at the guest house, we had a small pooch with us and the venues are are very per friendly. There is also a local garage next door for any provisions if needed We we’re impressed with the cleanliness of the rooms and friendliness of both Jackie and Debbie.
