The White House

Bowness-on-Windermere

Located in Bowness-on-Windermere in the Cumbria region, The White House is a 5-star property featuring free WiFi. The property features inner courtyard views and is 300 metres from World of Beatrix Potter and 38 km from Derwentwater. Askham Hall is 42 km from the guest house and Trough of Bowland is 49 km away. The property suggested a nearby car park, which we were able to find easily (though the pay machines were a bit dodgy with international credit cards) and it was only a short stroll to the house. Instructions to get in were fairly strait forward. The rooms were as described - a good sized queen and separate single with adjoining bathroom. I'm sad I didn't get to try out the awesome bath but the double shower was great! The location is excellent, with a short stroll to many eateries and the main shops etc. Mini bar fridge was appreciated.
