The Archway Guest House

I had the loveliest stay at The Archway. Dennis and Anita are the warmest hosts and Anita gave me so many useful tips for navigating about Windermere. My room was immaculate, with a nice bed and comfortable linens. The view out my window over a green space with the fells beyond - breathtaking. And the bathroom, which is almost brand new, is luxurious with a giant shower. This was my first night of a 7 day inn to inn hike - I honestly was sorry to leave!

We had a lovely stay at Archway Guest House, and Anita and Dennis were excellent hosts. We stayed a comfortable 3 nights in the Windermere room, featuring a cozy sitting space by the windows with a beautiful view of the mountains and a recently updated bathroom. Located off the Main Street, just 5 min downhill from the train station, we were able to walk to everything we wanted to enjoy. Anita had great recommends for activities in all weather conditions, and the breakfast prepared by Dennis was perfect each day (recommend trying the Caribbean breakfast). We had plenty of privacy, but also enjoyed chatting with other guests over breakfast. A wonderful stay, highly recommend

I recently stayed at Archway Guest House with my mum for two nights. From the moment we arrived, Anita and Denis made us feel completely at home. They are such warm and friendly hosts who are always happy to help and offer local tips. The rooms were spotlessly clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Each morning, we were treated to a delicious breakfast, and Denis’s Caribbean breakfast were a must try. Flavourful, fresh, and beautifully cooked. The location is perfect for exploring Windermere and the Lake District (5 mins walk from the train/bus station) and the hospitality we received made our stay even more memorable. We would absolutely recommend Archway Guest House to anyone visiting the area and we hope to return again in the future! Thank you so much, Anita and Denis!

We highly recommend the Archway Guesthouse for excellent value, cleanliness, attention to the details that we really noticed and appreciated, and overall warm hospitality. Anita and Dennis made sure we felt welcome from the moment we arrived, starting with lovely tea and homemade cake. Anita shared many details about great walks, restaurants and other cultural places of interest in this part of the Lakes. Our room was very comfortable, and breakfasts were generous and delicious, starting our days heartily. Our car was parked securely in the lot behind the house. Do not hesitate to reserve a place at this lovely guest house in Windemere, close to the train station and busses to all the Lakeland towns.

Excellent hospitality and great setting. The owners were extremely friendly and attentive to our needs. The rooms were lovely and comfortable with modern and beautiful bathrooms. Food was excellent as well. We only stayed one night but would definitely come back for another stay and would recommend it highly to family and friends. Thank you Anita and Denis

From the moment we arrived we felt welcome. Anita brought us homemade cake on arrival into our comfy room. Coffee, tea, water, cookies are all supplied in the room. Such a comfortable bed, and douvet and 3 pillows each. The towels are absorbant and thick. The breakfasts were amazing and such a lot to choose from. Better than most restaurants. You must try Dennis's scrambled eggs!! |You can use the dining room if you wish to bring your own dinner, which we did. A good place to watch the sunset over the mountains. The location is perfect for exploring the lake district. Thank you again Anita and Dennis for a memorable stay. Hope to see you again. Baaabaaa
