Traveller reviews

“Small, friendly and welcoming B&B with a personal touch!”
10 Apr 2025
The location of the accommodation is excellent. Room was more than adequate, providing everything that we needed. The breakfast was excellent, prepared by chef Angus, the owner.

“Met our expectations , lovely stay”
06 Apr 2025
Location spot on , breakfast very good , nothing too much trouble

“Des Res stay for dog owners”
01 Apr 2025
Lovely clean room, great shower and our pampered pet Jack Russell was totally pampered. Don't skip breakfast because it was much better and much better value than the one we had out.

“A few days in Bowness”
21 Mar 2025
Everything and everyone was really nice. The room was very comfortable, and (we had the "suite") large. The location couldn't be better, 2 mins from the lake😁. The building is very quirky😁. Nice touches like fresh milk for your room and bathrobes. The spa bath was very welcome after hiking 😏😁. Great check-in policy! We didn't have a dog, but the place is very dog friendly, and we might come back with my daughter's dog! 🤣 The first pic below is the view from the room, and the second is from the Jetty Museum, about a 10-minute walk and well worth a visit.

“A fantastic stay at Virgina Cottage. Our room was lovely and cosy and we had an amazing stay.”
23 Feb 2025
Service was excellent. Our room was upgraded due to our amount of luggage. Our room was lovely and cosy and the bathroom / shower was excellent. All of our needs were met and both Angus and Sherry were amazing hosts. The breakfast was outstanding and we would stay again in an instant.

“Very Dog friendly accomodation”
17 Feb 2025
Great place to stay if you are bringing your dog along Accommodation was clean and fresh and the room was comfortable and warm. fluffy white towels and complimentary toiletries.we even got little gifts for us and Alfie 🐕🦺 for valentines. Angus and his wife brightened our stay with a cheery smile every time we met, they go above and beyond and nothing is too much effort. The dining area was great, with complimentary sausages for all doggies. The Breakfast range was plentiful and food delicious at an amazing price. Great location and payable parking or free by the ferry from November to March. Lots of eateries, bars and restaurants and shops to browse on your door step so plenty to do. Would not hesitate to return 😊
