Ashleigh House - Room Only

My daughter and I travelled from Canada to the UK for a month-long tour in June 2022. During our time in the Lake District, we stayed at Ashleigh House for two nights. At the time of booking, I had advised Dawn, the proprietor, that our train would get us into Windermere a few hours earlier than normal check-in time, and she was kind enough to arrange for our room to be ready as soon as we arrived. The first thing we noticed was how spotlessly clean the bedroom and ensuite bathroom were. We appreciated little touches like the complimentary tea and coffee provided in the room. We slept really well on the very comfortable beds. The cooked breakfast was generously sized and delicious. The property’s location was perfect for us – just a couple of minutes’ walk from all the shops and restaurants in the centre of Windermere. We will absolutely stay at Ashleigh House again whenever we have the chance to return to the Lake District.

Good location. Access to the property is up some steep steps, and we stayed in room 5 at the top of quite a few more steps (2nd floor). Good exercise! It was a large, clean room with a very spacious shower room, and lovely views out the back. The shower was an electric shower, the water pressure was a little weak, but that may be typical of the area. The cubicle was a standard size, perfectly acceptable, but considering the size of the room, a missed opportunity for a larger one, we thought. Two of the sockets would not allow for a plug to be fully inserted; they stuck out enough for someone to touch a terminal when trying to pull it back out. We parked at the back of the property which is a tight squeeze as some have mentioned, just glad we had a small car (and I wasn't driving!) We didn't stop for breakfast.
