Rum Doodle, well it was our first time at The Lakes and it certainly won't be our last! The location was just right with being part way between Windermere town and Bowness and was walkable to both. There were plenty of shops, bars and restaurants in walking distance as well as lake Windermere itself.
We found Rum Doodle with ease and was greeted at the door with a smile and friendly man (the owner but didn't catch his name). We were bought a fresh glass of apple and orange juice to our room which was refreshing after a long drive to Windermere. Our room was comfy, not too big or too small, a wardrobe, seating in the bay window, hairdryer, hot drink making facilities, wine glasses with cork screw and bottle opener. Very modern, clean and well presented bathroom with soft and fluffy towels, and a really nice shower. The bed was very comfortable and welcomed after a busy day exploring the surrounding area.
Breakfast was really good with cereal, fresh fruit and yogurt, toast, and then a choice of breakfast which were great too.
We had a pleasant and informative chat at breakfast with the lady that works there who gave us the heads up on some driving routes to try and avoid which was really useful.
After a day out exploring we went back to Rum Doodle to a cleaned room and freshly made bed with the tea and coffee replenished, so we were able to just drop and the bed with a nice cuppa and biscuit. Then out for a walk, some lovely food and a couple of drinks.
We couldn't recommend The Lakes and Rum Doodle enough! Well worth every penny

Pleasant stay with a few drawbacks. The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable, making for a relaxing base. Staff were friendly and helpful—especially appreciated the lovely walk recommendation. Breakfast was good quality ingredients and nice, although the dining area felt a bit cramped. Unfortunately, cleanliness let the room down slightly, with stained carpets and hairs on the bathroom floor on arrival. Noise from the room above was quite disruptive, especially being woken at 1am. With better soundproofing and a deeper clean, it could have been a perfect stay.

Fantastic . 5 star plus
Perfect in every way. We were bowled over by the sheer high standard of the room down to the finest details. Super comfortable. Host exceptionally friendly.
Breakfast was of the highest possible standard.
Altogether fantastic
Will definitely stay again.

Our stay was enjoyable, however the room had a bath with shower attached within the bedroom . This would have been ok had my husband not been very tall. This is not an ideal room as the ceiling is on a slant and low.

Gorgeous Stay
Absolutely gorgeous stay at Rum Doodle. Staff couldn’t have been nicer, felt welcomed from the moment they met us at the door. The room was decorated beautifully, exactly what we needed for a few days away. All sorts of amenities and extras - the breakfast options were vast and really tasty. The only thing worth mentioning is parking is up a very tight small hill and when there is a lot of cars in it does get a little difficult. Nothing that would stop us from making a return though. Will absolutely be booking again in future. Thank you for a thoroughly lovely stay!
