In beautiful Lakeland surroundings overlooking an idyllic brook, Glencree is situated between the villages of Bowness and Windermere. With free parking and free Wi-Fi, it serves hearty breakfasts cooked to order. Guests can swim in the property's off-site pool.

Located in a perfect location within walking distance of a number of eating establishments Breakfast and staff were extremely helpful. Had a room on the top floor with a vertical spiral staircase. Ask for this room. Provided parking which was also a plus. The rate should have been higher as one could not ask for more. Would have paid more without a second thought.

    A perfect location 2 mins walk to the village amenities, Beaumont Guest House far exceeded our expectations. We were warmly greeted by Simona who explained all we needed to know. Our room was just perfect, almost like a mini suite, overlooking a quiet court yard. All facilities were of the highest standard ….. the bed was huge and probably one of the most comfortable we’ve ever slept on! We opted for the cooked/hot breakfast which was lovely and more than set us up for our motorbike ride home.

    The location was perfect, we parked up the car and left it for the whole week. Parking is a real bonus! Ideal location for exploring with access to bars, restaurants and scenic walks. The house is beautiful and has been furnished to an extremely high standard. The quality of fittings is better than most holiday homes we have stayed in. It was a real home from home and we will definitely return.
