Great guesthouse and excellent value.
Great modern room, lovely and warm especially in the freezing temperatures of November! Such a great find in the heart of Windermere. There was no noise throughout our stay and free parking is a bonus.

A lovely Easter weekend stay at Latimer House
We had a fantastic stay at Latimer House in Bowness. The location is ideal—just a short walk from the town centre, which made it easy to explore the area without needing the car. Our room was clean, comfortable, and felt like a real home away from home.
We visited over the Easter weekend and were delighted to find Easter-themed truffles waiting for us on arrival—a thoughtful and charming touch that made the stay feel extra special.
Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a cosy base in Bowness with great access to everything the Lakes has to offer.

The room was very clean and spacious. We stayed for two nights — it was quite cold the first night, but the staff were very responsive. After we let them know, they brought us an additional heater the next day. Great service!

Lovely stay and i would highly recommend it. Clean, quiet, and nice pillows. The only problem we had was when I booked I booked with parking knowing we would have a car. There is only 4 parking spaces so if you come in after 5 or maybe earlier you will be parking on the side streets (no parking in front) which wasn't the best for us as we are seniors and carrying luggage up and down hill can be challenging.

Worth the money
The room was great. Comfy bed and clean throughout. I was disappointed with the parking situation. I was under the impression there’d be parking, and there is, but it’s very limited. Only 4 spaces and they have 7 rooms.

Perfect little private get away pretty much in the middle of town.
Small premium over other rooms available at Latimer house which have you added privacy and plenty of room for two to enjoy 3 nights away.

Not staffed, you receive a code for entry on day of arrival, all worked great.
The room was clean, decorated nicely, had a huge bathroom with large shower and free toiletries.
Internet was fast and reliable.
It was very quiet.
The heart chocolates on the pillows (it was Valentines the day after our stay) were a cute touch.
