Dene House

Our recent stay at Dene House was most enjoyable. We arrived a couple of hours before check-in but went in to ask the host if it was ok to park the car. We were invited to check in immediately. A house key and room key allow people to come and go as they please. The family run establishment is kept to a very high standard. Many old features of the house have been maintained to preserve its character, yet the modern touches blend perfectly. We had the king room which was spacious, clean and comfortable. Usual amenities of private bathroom with toiletries, tea/coffee, hairdryer were supplemented with iron and ironing board, small fridge and wine glasses. Breakfast was pre-order and at a set time for each room. This might not suit everyone but I’m sure the hosts would have accommodated any reasonable request. It suited us just fine on this occasion. The dining room is well organised with room numbers as your table guide. There’s a good choice of fruit and cereal to self select and the cooked choices were well presented, served hot on hot plates (always a plus in my books!) by the hosts. Individual choices were perfectly presented. It is easy to see why this lovely place has a top rating by its visitors. Thank you Hai and Lan, we would definitely visit again.

This B&B has it all: great location, reasonable rates, and friendly owners. Even though it's on a fairly busy road, it is extremely quiet. My wife and I are vegan, and we were so grateful that the owners could accommodate our diet. And if you're traveling by car, there is plenty of off-street parking.

Stayed at Dene House for two nights whilst visiting the Lake district. Wonderful hosts. Beautiful double room with all you could ask for. Breakfast was lovely- had a full English the first morning, and boiled eggs and toast the next- cannot fault the service and the breakfasts on both mornings were delicious. Dene House is situated within a short distance from Windermere, easily walkable and close to shops, restaurants and pubs. Will definitely visit again!

My husband and I have just returned from a 4 day break for our wedding anniversary. We stayed here at this fabulous place 4 years ago. Wonderful hosts they will go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. The room again was spotlessly clean, comfy bed and quiet location away from the hustle and bustle. Fridge in room to chill wine/beers which was great when we got back late afternoon after a long day going places. Short walk to centre. Yorkshire Dales not far away to visit beautiful countryside. The Riva Cafe Italian is fabulous food. The Ship Inn for a light lunch or meal, also boaters for a drink and great live music on the weekends. So much to see and do. We will be back soon Hai & Lan again for sure. Thank you both so much, once again for a fabulous stay. Lou & John 🙂

Great stay here at Dene House. The hosts are friendly, provide great service and informed us of all the great attractions and activities nearby upon arrival. I would happily recommend Dene House to anyone looking to stay at Bowness

Lovely B&B perfectly situated close to the town and lake but away from the busy main streets. Very friendly and welcoming, lovely quiet comfortable rooms and amazing home cooked breakfast and delicious homemade muesli.
