Centrally located
However uphill walking
Great location, lovely large clean room, and super comfy bed. Complementary, delicious homemade cake and shortbreads.
The breakfast tasted lovely although limited choice.
Lovely b+b in excellent location, room was lovely overlooking the gardens and the breakfast was very nice cooked to perfection
None
Great location, lovely accommodation. Beaitiful garden space.
All good
A lovely and comfortable stay with everything we needed, in a convenient location close to popular tourist spots.
Very clean and comfortable. Very tasteful decor. Excellent breakfast. Lovely little touches , cake, china tea cups, linen napkins, wished we were staying longer.
There’s nothing I didn’t like. It is up a steep bank , which I didn’t mind but some people might not manage.
Breakfast was good - cooked to order. Nice touch with the home baking and water (in the fridge) on the landing. Also the home made shortbread in the room. Huge bonus is the private parking and 5 mins walk to town. Garden looked great and would be a superb facility in good weather.
Can`t think of anything.
Welcoming hosts lovely comfy beds lovely fresh home cooked breakfast

We’ve just returned from a lovely stay at Fairfield House and Gardens, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Windermere. Nick is a fantastic host warm, welcoming and friendly throughout our entire stay. The rooms are spacious, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. We enjoyed two breakfasts during our visit, with a fantastic choice of cereals, fresh fruit and everything else you could wish for, including a delicious freshly cooked breakfast made to order. The little touches really made our stay special. Our room was stocked with complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits, along with the wonderful surprise of freshly baked cookies and cake for all guests to enjoy. Having cold bottles of water and fresh milk was another thoughtful touch. The house is situated on a fairly steep bank, but Nick was kind enough to show us a shorter, more manageable route down to the lake and promenade, which was really helpful. A beautiful place to stay, with a fantastic host and excellent attention to detail. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend Fairfield House and Gardens!

Excellent host, magnificent breakfast, spotlessly clean , lovely garden to sit and relax in , lovely bedroom overlooking the garden.
Nothing to dislike
Lovely room, great views, very good breakfast. Especially liked the scummy afternoon treats which were are really nice touch.
I struggled with the stairs and the steep hill leading to the house.
Loved everything, the room was nice and spacious, beautiful views, clean Lovely home baked cookies were left outside they were so delicious Breakfast was amazing also I let them know it was my sisters birthday and so they decorated the room which was an amazing touch
Great location
Only a small time frame for breakfast
Fabulous hot breakfast made in house. The room was tidy and comfortable with a very good shower. The owner prepared homemade treats and offered bottled water for guests. Location very close to Bowness.
Free parking on site, close to everything, the owners were welcoming and there is free bottled water and cakes on the afternoon. Which is a lovely touch
Nothing
5 star accommodation. Nick, our host, could not do enough for us to make our stay thoroughly enjoyable. Spotlessly clean well appointed rooms Breakfast is to die for, I have not had better anywhere. A nice extra was home made cakes & cookies in the afternoon, baked by our host. We decided to spend some time on the terrace due to beautiful weather, Nick very kindly supplied glasses for our wine & beers. A great value for money b & b for a stay in Bowness which is a handy central location on Lake Windermere. There is also a good selection of restaurants within 15 to 20 minutes walk of Fairfield House. I would not hesitate to recommend Fairfield House for a stay in this area.
I am 75 years old with dodgy knees & ankles so the only down side for me personally was the walk up & down the hill into Bowness & to the lake jetty. Having said that it would not be an issue for most people.
Views of Windermere and closeness to town and lake.

Room , breakfast, gardens
It's not the hotels fault but the steep hill back up from town is not great , next time will get a taxi up :)
Great location, fantastic host , the little touches of different cookies /cakes each afternoon, freshly cooked breakfast, just a beautiful stay
Right next to the town Lovely breakfast
Room needs updating Shower door needs sorting And toilet roll holder hanging off
The room was very modern and spacious. The bed was extremely comfortable. The bathroom had a free standing bath with shower over which was quite high to step into but we did have a bath mat which was great. We had a a lovely view of the gardens. Great value for money we had fantastic breakfasts with so much choice and we also received homemade baked goods, bottles of water and fresh milk all complimentary each day which was a really nice touch. We will definitely be back and would recommend.
The only downside was a very steep hill to climb to get back to property each day but it is accessible in a car too. We did choose to leave our car at the hotel car park.
Lovely and clean and well located
Nothing, all good
Pretty much everything from the comfy bed, cleanliness, tranquility of garden (with resident hedgehog) and of course breakfast with the amazing black pudding!
We loved everything even the steep hill that gave me a thorough work out.
Excellent facilities, great location and Nick was really helpful. Would book again.
Great location
Friendly, professional and went the extra mile :)
Perfect location. Lovely host. Fans in room Extra touch by giving free water milk Will definitely return
Nothing negative to say
Wir hatten ein sehr grosses schönes Zimmer unter dem Dach. Parking war einfach und direkt vor dem Haus, das Frühstück sehr gut und reichhaltig. Die Unterkunft hat einen sehr schönen Aussenbereich, den man aber nur bei einigermassen gutem Wetter nutzen kann... Bowness haben wir als gute Basis für das Lake District erlebt.
Leider gab es in unseren 5 Tagen im Lake District kaum einen Sonnenstrahl, dafür kann die Unterkunft aber natürlich nichts.
Just everything about it where it was and the garden is so beautiful and the shower is so good plus nick has some nice touches putting cakes and cookies on the side in the afternoon 👍👍
I loved the bedroom and bathroom allocated to me. It was large and very comfortable. The bed was king size and the owner had provided little extras i.e. biscuits and cake, fresh milk and ample tea and coffee facilities. I would definitely recommend this accommodation and would like to stay there again when possible!
Nothing to dislike. The gardens were very pretty and there was ample parking! Can't rate it high enough.
A beautiful place to stay, loved the free daily treats, very clean and the shower is amazing. The cooked breakfast was lush and just the right portion size. I have already recommend Fairfield House to friends and family and would definitely stay here again.
Location was excellent for us, we went on the Lake cruises. Room spotlessly clean, room facilities, had everything we required. We had the top floor room so views were really good. Extras such as complimentary cakes, fresh milk and water were a nice touch. Breakfast was superb and service excellent.
Goede ontvangst fijne mensen Prima bed en ontbijt
Niks
Veldig nært sentrum, god frokost. Fint uteområde, der man kunne oppholde seg. Hyggelig vert.
Det var bratt og litt krevende med motorsykkel.
The property was great, Nick was a great host, breakfast was very nice, very close to the centre of town and a short walk to all amenities and restaurants, near to the water for the lake charters. The cake and cookies were a great touch where you can have during the day. Water bottles provided is also another great touch. We would definitely recommend this property.
We had a room at the top and there are a lot stairs, but if you know that in advance it helps, these older properties do not have lifts, the shower was a little weird in the location and was a little uneasy from a privacy perspective but ok.

Excellent breakfast, complimentary homemade shortbread, + biscuits. Stunning gardens. Very well run.
We were in the top room. The low beams were a slight inconvenience.
Very nice enjoyable
The hills never saw hills like then
Breakfast was exceptional,special extra touches such as freshly baked cakes left each day,very peaceful with an old world charm,run very efficiently,beautiful gardens,nothing to much trouble.
A nice cappuchino would go down a treat in the beautiful garden
Great breakfast cooked to order. Little extras such as complimentary bottles of water, cookies and cake. Free parking. Beautiful gardens. Great location for the town and waterfront. Weather was good and on the one occasion we got wet, Nick dried our waterproofs for us in the boiler room.
Nothing!
A first class stay for ourselves and our friends. The host, Nick, was very helpful. Excellent cooked to order breakfast. Three mins stroll down the (steep) hill to town.
No complaints.

Comfy, clean with lots of lovely special touches such as cake and fresh milk for tea/coffee. The little shortbread biscuits in the room were amazing.
The breakfast was of excellent quality, and set one up for the day ahead. Staff were pleasant and offered a high quality of service in a friendly manner.

Excellent breakfast that was well cooked and plenty of choices. Gluten free well catered for. Room was comfortable and a good size. Amenities were great and bathroom was generous. Lovely homemade brownies and cookies.
Everything was great.
Lovely house with 1930s feeling. Beautiful decor and gardens. Homemade cookies on arrival and great full English breakfast.
On a bit of a hill but that can’t change

The accommodation is within easy access to the centre of Bowness on windermere but further enough away to be lovely & quiet.The grounds were beautiful with lost of seating outside to sit & enjoy the sunshine !! The room was lovely & the bathroom a good size & the shower was amazing. Nick the owner sent us a text asking when we were arriving as he had been able to get the room ready a little earlier so it meant we could unpack & spend more time in Bowness on Windermere. There were little added touches such as a small fridge at the top if the stairs with small bottles of fresh milk & water in which we could use & he also provided either homemade cookies or cake in the afternoon to enjoy, which we did with a cup of tea. There was a good choice of cold breakfast items I.E cereals, yogurt, fruit etc & we also could choose a full english breakfast or tailor make from the items listed & they also offer a hot vegetarian breakfast. Nick made us feel extremely welcome & went out of his way to help us. All in all we had a brillaint stay & would stay again.

Nick was a lovely host very welcoming. Room was lovely with a nice view and had everything we needed plus water and homemade beautiful cakes. Great breakfast too. Thank you Nick.
The hill was a little steep
Bit difficult to locate, but we missed the sign, nick was on the ball and sent full directions, penthouse suite, so beautifully done, and everything we needed. Great location. Amazing gardens, breakfast was 100% perfect, choices, and plentiful plate, and red hot. We will be back.

Everything was good. Staff really helpful and engaging. Homebaked cakes provided daily were superb.
Nice location, comfortable room, great breakfast and excellents hosts. Great tip on the route into the town to avoid big hill!
Nothing not to like only good things to say. Would definately stay again in the future.
It was a beautiful kept quaint house with gorgeous gardens which felt homely. The room was well equipped and breakfast was delicious. We had the loft room and would like to visit again when the weather is nice to enjoy the garden.
Nothing to not like.
The property is wonderful and surrounded by beautiful gardens. Couldn’t have wished for a better location, ample parking and easy access to the property throughout the day. Lovely touches such as free bottles of water, fresh milk, cake every day and little handmade shortbreads in your room with ample tea and coffee in your room to make the most of. Owners were lovely and breakfast was delicious and ample.
Nothing I didn’t like only things that would have been useful would be a fan in the room for the warm weather and an iron. The gardens are wonderful and it would be good to know how we can make use of them, bottle of wine in the evening etc?
Lovely people and place but not suitable for mobility challenged people. Would still go back
Nothing it was all great
Very clean room with a comfortable bed. Our room was a little on the smaller side than we expected. Breakfast was very good and cooked to order. The host provided home cooked cake each day which was a nice touch. Garden area would have been nice to sit in if the weather had been better.
The small room
Exceptionally presented guest house, in a quiet location and impressive grounds. Super place to stay Thoughtful treats a nice touch.
Great location, lovely room in a lovely property. Large en suite bathroom with walk in shower and last, but not least, a really good full English breakfast!
Nick’s house and garden is just beautiful and the perfect place to stay for a short break. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious and the homemade biscuits and treats were a lovely surprise ! The location is great for exploring locally and further afield - we’d love to return, thank you 🙂

Very nice guest house. Good parking, Campervan and bike rack was no problem.
Clean and comfortable
Very welcoming host, lovely room, good breakfast.Little extras ( bottled water, fresh milk, brownies) were a bonus Glorious garden
Everything perfect
Great location, stunning garden
Perfect location for us. Room was very comfortable and quiet. Lovely traditional English breakfast. There were complimentary biscuits, water and cookies available (as well as normal room tea/coffee facilities). This is the first time I've used a B&B for a number of years. The experience was so much better than I had expected. Would recommend and would revisit.

Close to nearby lake. Not too far from shops and restaurants etc. Accommodation was perfect. Breakfast was yummy and the afternoon cake and access to water and fresh milk was a fantastic idea. Would 100% stay again
No negatives.
Home made biscuits or perfect cooked breakfasts or comfy beds or lovely garden or great central location in Bowness - its hard to choose one reason.
Having to leave.
Very nice stay, host had obviously put a lot of thought into the organisation of the venue - the daily cake and cookies was nice welcoming touch. The breakfast was a good standard with a choice of full English or healthier options . Room was clean and breakfast organised well
There was nothing to complain about
Our third visit to Fairfield and wont be our last, becoming an annual event as we love the location and the friendley feel of the accomodation very well run and a pleasure to stay.
Not a lot, walk into Bowness only a short distance but bit of a hill could cause an issue.
Comfortable and clean. Enjoyed the extra little touches such as homemade cake and shortbread. Fresh milk in fridge on the landing. Peaceful location and beautiful garden.
Fairfield house was lovely with a beautiful garden. Bedroom was spotless & even had fresh milk & bottles of water in a fridge on the landing along with huge cookies & chocolate brownies. Excellent 👌
It’s a beautiful place, with a spectacular garden. The breakfast is excellent. And Nick, the host, is very gracious. And it’s very close to a lovely country walk, as well as close to shops & restaurants.
Everything was great. My own personal wish is that the room was a little bit larger, but it is a bed & breakfast in a historic property.
很干净且温馨,有非常美丽的花园,一棵巨大的树覆盖半个花园,坐在树下饮茶看书是非常惬意的,还有丰盛的早餐,房东亲自烹饪,美味可口,住在这里感觉非常舒适,距离彼得兔博物馆和码头走路几分钟即可到达,位置非常优越。
如果停车场到房屋大门有一条硬化的路面方便拖行李箱就更好了。
Amazing stay.
The property was really clean, the breakfast was great, and the owner Nick went above and beyond to make us stay comfortable. Unfortunately, our car broke down while we were at the venue but Nick put himself out to give us lifts into windermere. As it was a bank holiday, it was impossible to get the parts to fix the car, and the venue was booked for when we were due to leave. However, Nick sourced another venue for us to stay at which was also lovely. My wife and I cannot praise Nick enough for his efforts.
The room was very tidy and it had everything for our 2nt stay ,also it was great there was on site parking, the breakfast was amazing with plenty of choice also all the staff were very helpful and friendly 😀
Nothing it was all spot on
Brilliant breakfast and lovely homemade cakes
The room was roomy and comfortable and overlooked the beautiful garden. Nick went above and beyond to make sure our stay there was as comfortable as it could possibly be. This included impeccable cleanliness, a comfortable bed and a well equipped bathroom as well as welcome little extras like fresh milk and newly baked cake available on the landing to all guests. Breakfast was cooked to order with a good choice of cereals and fruit. The garden is stunning with plenty of comfortable areas to sit and enjoy it
Nothing
Located very close to town and Windermere Lake. Enjoyed the homemade cakes put out every day for the guests, nice touch. Food overall very good. Also lovely gardens.
Our room was compact - fine for a couple of nights but perhaps not for a week. But it did have all the facilities we needed, so only a minor point.
Prachtig sfeervol huis op loopafstand van Windermere. Vriendelijke en behulpzame host. Fantastisch ontbijt. De kamer was van alle gemakken voorzien, met enkele extra's zoals verse melk voor thee en gratis flesjes water en zelfgebakken koekjes.
