The property is located very near to the train/bus station which makes it perfect for exploring the lake district by bus. Graham was very welcoming and gave us very nice tips on where to visit. We really enjoyed our stay.

This B&B was in a great location - close to the train station and one block to shops, laundry, grocery stores, coffee shops, etc. It was also just a block to the bus stop to get to other Lake District destinations. It was a reasonably short walk...

You could not imagine a more hospitable accommodation. Graham and Allie are the most gracious, friendly and helpful hosts. They are as charming as their house is and you would be remiss to stay anywhere else in Windermere. This is not a 5* hotel,...

Our stay at the White Rose was a very comfortable and relaxed experience. It added to the cosiness of the area and was in an amazing location. Just a minute's walk away from the centre of town, there were plenty of shops and restaurants around. We...

Great location and very friendly people! It certainly worked for two people trying to travel on a smaller budget for some hikes around Windermere and Ambleside. I love the fact that they gave ground coffee and a variety of teas and everything was...

The guest house is over a hundred years old built out of lakeland stone. With many original features still in place.The rooms are decorated to ensure a pleasing calm place to sleep,we have an extensive hospitality tray,home laundered bedding and towels ensuring fresh laundry.White Rose is set on a quiet street with outside space to sit and watch the world go by [when your not out walking and discovering] A water feature is in the garden adding to the tranquility.Over the winter period we have renovated three rooms a double,Twin and larger double room.Also installed a velux window on the upper landing where there was a skylight.We have also installed new radiators in all our rooms.
We are a very friendly couple who love meeting new people.We rate our rooms by our own expectations.Just let us know your requirements to enhance your stay. You can use the dinning room just ask.We love to walk and explore giving us a good knowledge of the area with things to see and do and trips you could take.Most of all a memorable stay is a must.
There are wonderful walks within easy distance Orrest head,school knott are a must.There is also a park mins away which has cricket,football and a crown green bowling green on it [local teams] However you may be able to join in just ask.As a small guest house we do not have private parking although the roads around are all free parking including the road we are on, and as a last resort there is a carpark opposite.The shops restaurants,and cafes are close by just a two minute walk away
