    delicious breakfast
    poached eggs
    welcoming hosts

    The breakfasts were simply delicious! Simon's poached eggs deserve a Michelin star, and the array of local dining spots nearby, like The Brasserie and Jackson's Bistro, made our culinary explorations a real treat. And let's not forget Simon and Joan’s warm hospitality that made us feel like family!

    delicious breakfast
    late breakfast

    We had a lovely stay! Simon was a proper gem, makin' us right at home and whipin' up the best brekkie, especially them poached eggs! One downside was the brekkie timing, bit late for early risers. But overall, a top-notch experience!

    frustrating shower
    late breakfast

    Despite my enthusiasm, my experience quickly soured. The shower in the attic room was frustratingly designed, making it difficult to stand comfortably, which is unacceptable for any guest. And don't even get me started on the breakfast timing – 8:45 is far too late for anyone hoping to hit the trails early. My plans were derailed more than once, which is a significant inconvenience.

    late breakfast

    Breakfast starts late-ish at 8:45, which could throw off plans for early hikes. The shower attachment in the attic room makes it tough to stand fully, but the deep bath compensates nicely.

    shower issue
    breakfast timing

    Breakfast is late-ish at 8:45, which is just ridiculous if you have plans! do expect to struggle in the attic room shower. clearly, no thought was given for typical heights. despite my obvious need for something special, no complimentary upgrade was offered. i wanted to leave a good review, but just couldn’t.

    cozy room
    superb breakfast

    Had a fantastic time at May Cottage! Joan and Simon are truly delightful hosts who make every guest feel like family. The room was cozy and spotlessly clean, equipped with lovely tea and coffee facilities. Breakfast was a highlight, featuring a superb selection, from full English to fresh croissants. Oh, and that complimentary pass to the nearby hotel spa? Absolutely a cherry on top! Perfectly located just a short walk from Bowness and Lake Windermere, it made our stay so easy and enjoyable.

    great location
    delicious breakfast
    uncomfortable shower
    late breakfast
    tight parking

    The location offers exceptional access to local attractions and restaurants, making it easy to explore. The cooked breakfasts were a true highlight, with options like delicious scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. Unfortunately, the shower in the attic room was somewhat uncomfortable, limiting the experience, and breakfast timing at 8:45 AM may not suit early risers. Parking can be a bit tight as well.
