Field House Guest House

This is a great little place to stay in the heart of Windermere. Close to great pubs & restaurants, plus reasonable in price. The staff are friendly and the rooms are spotlessly clean. Definitely coming back!

What an amazing place to stay! Rooms are spotless. The lake view from our room (5) was just lovely to wake up to each morning. Chairs conveniently placed to sit and have a cup of tea in the room looking at the view. Location is absolutely perfect too. Literally a minute away from absolutely everything Bowness has to offer. Parking wasn’t an issue at the back too. The owners were so friendly and welcoming. The hotel is spotless throughout. We cannot fault the place and look forward to coming back soon. Thankyou xx

Hotel has been taken over and is now called The Lakes Manor. We booked under the previous ownership (Field House Guest House) in August on ***********. Seen a few reviews saying people were having their bookings cancelled last minute so we tried to contact the hotel and got nowhere. Arrived at the hotel and there were no workers present. Got passed from pillar to post until the maintenance person and housekeeper managed to contact the main office of the new owners after 30/45 mins of trying. Their phone numbers were on a notice on the front door of the hotel. They managed to sort our booking out, but they were unaware of our stay as our booking did not transfer to their new booking system. Both were helpful but for a short time it looked like we weren’t going to have a room for NYE after travelling three hours to get there. The room was actually nice inside, very comfy bed but quite cold and the radiator didn’t work properly, leaving us cold at times.

As other recent reviews have mentioned, this has changed hands and our experience of a guesthouse being run at a distance wasn't a good one. I'll be contacting the new company in due course for further feedback on another issue but suffice it to say that a room with inadequate heating during a December stay in the lakes was far from ideal. The shower was the high point, being hot and powerful. Any thoughts of breakfasting in the kitchen, as suggested by a pre-stay email were discarded as this also appeared to be unheated too. Overall, not somewhere we would choose to stay again in its present form.

Shockingly bad owners. The right property group took over thus hotel for our stay and have just blamed previous owners for everything that went wrong taking no responsibility for the fact that they now own it. We didn't get a family room as booked, we had to waste time trying other rooms all unsuccessful so we then had to sleep in separate rooms. They informed me they were sorry and would be in touch however they have then completely ignored me and not done what they said they would. I would avoid.

We arrived early just after 2pm and all the rooms were ready and the windows and door were opened. This is a good idea to air the rooms. The previous hotel we stayed in was musty from the damp. Parking was behind the property. You will have to drive into The Belsfield Hotel and then turn sharp right into a lane marked "private parking". On *********** the pictures look like the decor was dated but in actual fact was pretty nice. The bed was very comfortable and the heater worked well. Everything was very clean. The bathroom was woefully small though with the shower area just next to the wc and with shower curtain. Somehow it worked well though and we had no problem using the facilities. Just be careful of that step up though. The location is good. Just a short walk to town where there are lots of shops and restaurants. The stairs! We were on the second floor. Lots of steps plus steps up from the carpark. Breakfast was just pastries, fruits, coffee or tea and juice. Would have preferred a cooked breakfast.

Myself and my sisters stayed here for a couple of nights! The Field Guest House is in the heart of Windermere and is a comfortable stay. We where in the lake view room for 3 persons which was a bit dated but the view was wonderful! No breakfast is included in the price which was a bit disappointing but there are plenty of places to eat in the area. The hosts are friendly and there if you need them. We enjoyed our stay and Bowness on Windermere is beautiful.

What a gem of a find! Perfect little guest house in the heart of Bowness-on-Windermere. Couldn't get a better location and with a few parking spaces at the back of the property its perfect for a short break away. Hosts were friendly and welcoming and the guest house was clean throughout. Very happy with our room which did overlook the main road but we didn't come to the lakes to sit in our room so that wasn't a problem for us. Plenty of tea and coffee to make a morning cuppa in your room. We will 100% be back for another visit next year.

Host was extremely friendly and helpful. Parking is poor. It’s at the back of the property and only room for four cars at a push. There is paid parking not too far from the house. House would appear to be gradually being modernised. Location is excellent.
