“Great hosts, fabulous location, perfect room.”
13 Jul 2025
Everything was perfect. A glass of wine on arrival, we were left to get on with settling in and the best breakfast you could hope for. Overall the room was spotless, the shower was great and the fridge for our use was a nice touch. The location is perfect t, halfway between Windermere town and Bowness by the lake. Both easily walkable in 15 minutes. An ideal spot. Would recommend and would stay here again.

“Great 2 night stay at the Rum Doodle!”
13 Jul 2025
Room stay: Room 3 - Pong. Double bed, small bathroom with shower. Minimal / restricted views. Two nights. Clean and comfortable room with plenty more tea, coffee and hot chocolate in the room than is normally expected - a welcomed thing to see. High and comfortable bed with both a hard and a softer pillow and cushions, two bedside lamps, blind for room blocked most light out, and the tv placement was good. Staff were wonderful - chatty, shared some insights about the local area and could see (and hear) how much they have enjoyed working there. Set the tone to immediately feel relaxed and at home. They even looked after our bags whilst we went off exploring as we had arrived earlier than expected and again when we checked out, we were able to return later to collect some bags before our train. This made a huge impact to what we could do in a short stay! On the feel - As B&Bs can be, had a small number of rooms. We could have gotten lucky but even the feel of the place meant that heading down to the dining room for breakfast all the guests were chatting and welcoming. We had a small conversation with two people who had just completed their stay. Food - we had the smoked salmon and scrambled egg, vegetarian breakfast and pancakes. All were tasty and of a good portion to set you up for the day. Had a selection of yogurt, fruit salad, fruit compote, toast and cereal on the side too. Plenty of salmon with the scrambled eggs. Location - Lots of B&B’s around but the Rum Doodle being a short walk or bus ride away from Windermere station means does allow for easy access to both Windermere and Bowness. Shared by staff that Bowness was usually the slightly more busy town and it did seem it, but we found ourselves there more for food and drink on an evening places like at the Bowness Tap Rooms. Bus at the end of the road was easy to take across to Grasmere.
