Reviews

Kenilworth Guest House is a fantastic accommodation. My room, a single room was small but doesn't lacked detail. It was very clean and has fantastic Egyptian cotton towels and a great shower. Another very interesting point is the proximity to the Windermere train / bus station, as well as the main street of leisure, restaurants and shopping.The breakfast was fabulous:egg, bacon, Cumbria sausage, toast, and pastries and jam made by Tracey, and tea or coffee, juices, fresh fruit and yougurt. They also leave you with cookies, fruit juice and milk for when you get a little tired and want to regain strength.The breakfast room is also available in case you want to take dinner. The hosts don't have any problem to warm you any food.Andy explains any questions you have. And besides, they picked me up from the station and took me back.The experience was fabulous. There's a sign at the entrance saying "comes like a stranger and goeslike a friend", and that's a great truth.

Belen,Thank you so very much for your lovely review it is hugely appreciated. Belen, it was a pleasure to meet you and we really missed you after you left. If ever you get the chance to return you will be really welcome. That said I know the weather in Spain is far more attractive than the weather in the Lake District!Very best wishes Andy & Tracey

This, being my fourth visit, was, as always, most comfortable and enjoyable. My hosts, Tracey and Andy, are very accomplished and knowledgable, and attend to one's requests and care with comparative ease. I have already booked my next visit.

Response

The whole place was spotless clean. Had many lovely touches. The best one was there daily supply of fantastically tasting home made biscuits. Overall a place which you can easily give 10 out of 10 for everything. We Highly recommend it !

Heather,It was great to meet you and we are really pleased you had such a great time. After you had been with us for the week we seemed a bit lost without you. Thank you very much for taking the trouble to write your lovely review it is greatly appreciated. Very best wishes Andy & Tracey

Comfiest bed iv ever slept in. Spotless cleanliness.Superb brekkie every morning.Freshly baked cookies/muffins daily at no extra charge.All topped off by one of the most amiable, hospitable, lovely couples, fully on top of their game and really enjoying what they do.Great for those who want to potter round the lake and its towns or use as a base to explore the lakes.Will certainly be back. Thats Andy and Tracey (and Dante)

Response

Duncan,Absolute pleasure to meet you guys we really enjoyed your company. Really glad to hear you had such a good time and enjoyed yourself here. Dante has really missed you since you\'ve gone but hopefully you can return and make up for lost time. Thank you very much for your lovely review it\'s greatly appreciated. Very best wishes Andy & Tracey

Cannot rate this guest house highly enough!Andy and Tracey are excellent hosts and nothing was too much trouble.So welcoming and helpful.The room was absolutely spotless with flawless attention to detail.Tracey's cooking and baking skills have to have a mention. Everyday there were home baked cookies, pastries and muffins, best I've ever tasted! Not sure how Andy remains as slim as he is.....I would be 25 stone by now....The breakfast was divine...all fresh and top of the range ingredients all perfectly cooked by Tracey and professionally served by Andy.I wouldn't hesitate to stay again and probably will in the near future.In all....probably the best guest house I've stayed in...Five stars all round.Thank you Tracey &Andy for a fabulous experience.....

Response

Guys,An absolute pleasure to meet you both we really enjoyed the time you spent with us. Great to hear you enjoyed yourselves up here and would be happy to stay again as we would be more than happy for you to do so. Thank you so very much for your great review it validates our efforts. Very best wishes Andy & Tracey

Just had a fabulous 2 night stay here.Andy and Tracey made us both extremely welcome and were superb hosts.....the standard of the house is impeccable. Wonderful homemade fresh muffins and cookies daily and an excellent cooked breakfast.Will definitely visit again and highly recommend to anyone

Response

David,Really good to meet you guys we really enjoyed your company. I\'m glad to hear you had such a good time here and would like to say you would always be welcome in our house. Thank you very much for your lovely review we really appreciate your time.Fondest regards Andy & Tracey

This was our first stay at the Kenilworth and we definitely intend to go back.After all, when you have found a place you are happy with, why take a chance elsewhere?We were very impressed with the high standards of cleanliness and attention to detail we found.The owners, Tracey and Andy simply cannot do enough for you.The whole place is spick and span and the rooms are thoroughly cleaned every day.The towels are also changed daily.A wide range of breakfasts are available, all freshly prepared and cooked to order.A seemingly endless variety of free breakfast muffins and cookies are baked daily by Tracey, each more delicious than the last.Andy is very attentive and is a great source of information as to what to do and where to eat out.I cannot praise them high enough, a little sign on the door says "Enter as Strangers, Leave as Friends", something we found to be very true indeed.Finally the location is ideal, being only a 5 minute walk into the centre of town, 10 minutes from the station and 25 minutes into Bowness.Five stars!

Response

Guys,Real pleasure to meet you we really enjoyed your company. We are very pleased you enjoyed your time here and are thinking of returning as you will be very welcome. Thank you very much for taking the time and trouble to write your great review we really appreciate it. Very best wishes Andy & Tracey

Fabulous accommodation with superb hosts made for a wonderful break. Tracey is an excellent cook providing ample breakfasts and baking delicious muffins and biscuits daily, she also catered well for a member of our party who is a coeliac. Andy was extremely helpful recommending great restaurants and places to go. We will return.

Response

Yvonne,Thank you so very much for your lovely review it is greatly appreciated. It was a pleasure to meet you all and we are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Tracey is gluten free and so is used to making things for people with special dietary requirements. In fact in truth I think she actually enjoys the challenge of making cakes, biscuits and muffins for people with different dietary needs.Very best wishes Andy & Tracey

Just spent 5 nights at Kenilworth Guest House. We were greeted warmly upon arrival with coffee and cake and the room was excellent, clean and tidy and with excellent en-suite facilities.Breakfast was amazing with a good range of fruit, cereal and best of all - a cooked full english including the local cumberland sausage - all cooked to order.The owners were extremely friendly and helpful and gave excellent local knowledge advice. I would definitely recommend Kennilworh House to anyone looking for accomodation in this area.

John,Thank you so very much for yourlovely review it is greatly appreciated. It was great to meet you guys we really enjoyed your company.Very best wishes Andy & Tracey x

Our usual b and b was booked up so I trawled trip advisor and came across this lovely place that had a lot of excellent recent reviews.The hosts were so were so welcoming and our room was perfect for all of our needs and we had two great nights sleep . We stayed in room 3 which was a superior double I think. On arrival we were offered a pot of tea and some of Traceys home made biscuits which were delicious.Breakfast was of a very high standard and on our last day I didn't have any room left for one of the freshly baked muffins so our hosts offered to pop a couple in a bag for us to take on our journey.Excellent place to stay and we will most definitely be back!

Response

Julia,Your normal B&Bs loss was our gain as we enjoyed your company enormously. Room 3 is actually a king room with a 5ft King bed but what\'s in a name? Thank you very much for your lovely review we greatly appreciate your time and trouble.Many, many thanks and all the best Andy & Tracey x

This is our third stay and we have already booked for next year, we wouldn’t stay anywhere else in the area. Tracey and Andy make you feel at home from the moment you walk in the door to the moment you leave. Nothing is too much trouble, all you have to do is ask and if possible it is done. Once again thank you Tracey Andy.

Response

James,It was a pleasure to see you guys again as always and we look forward to you coming back next year. Your return visits are the accolade we need so thank you very much for them they are appreciated enormously.Very best wishes Andy & Tracey x

We had a fantastic stay at Kenilworth. It was easy to find and in a great location, just round the corner from town, but on a quiet road, and easy to walk to the lake. We had no problems with parking. Our welcome was warm, and Andy and Tracey were fantastic hosts. We were given advice about the best restaurants, and plenty of information leaflets about things to do, as well as a map. The area is beautiful, with plenty to entertain. Our room was immaculate, and the bed was very comfortable! We had the smallest room, but there was plenty of space for us. It was modern and stylish with some luxurious touches- like the power shower, touch light bathroom mirror and high quality bed linens. Breakfast was great- with high quality ingredients, plenty of options, and a lovely continental selection too. Tracey also made amazing breakfast muffins every morning which were still warm! Her baking abilities were also showcased with a display of freshly baked biscuits every day in the entrance hall, along with fresh fruit and cooled drinks. We loved our stay at Kenilworth, and as first time B&Bers, we would not hesitate to recommend!

Response

Daniel,We had a fantastic time in your company so your stay was great for us also. Thank you so very much for taking the time to write your lovely review it is greatly appreciated.Very best wishes Andy & Tracey x

With a warm welcome welcome and incredible hospitality, Andy and Tracey really know how to make you feel comfortable and happy while staying away from home.Freshly baked treats made daily by Tracy and fresh coffee and a proper breakfast (wide range) to help you wake up in the morning, soft and clean beds and just all out great experience is the reason we will be back very soon.Absolutely wonderful people and I wouldn't think of staying anywhere else in the lakes!Amy and Rob x

As a guest house host my job is to remove the impediments to our guests having a good time so in that regard you are right. We enjoyed your stay with us and hope if ever you get the chance to return you will be most welcome.

Lovely place to stay! We stayed in room 2 which was lovely and spacious and a nice bathroom, with tea and coffee making facilities and lemon water. The guesthouse is in a great location, a few minute walk to local shops and restaurants, and about a 15/20 minute walk to Bowness. We were able to park here too which was so easy. We had a lovely English breakfast every morning which was cooked lovely with the most amazing sausages. Tracey bakes every day which was a really nice touch- the lemon drizzle was lovely!Thanks for having us, would recommend staying here to anyone, lovely couple, breakfast, cakes, and a great location too.

My husband and I have just returned from a wonderful two night break at Kenilworth Guest House, as usual Tracy and Andy could not be more welcoming and helpful. The King room was immaculate and very comfortable, breakfast was superb and Tracy’s baking would definitely give Mary Berry a run for the money.

The rooms were great with all the amenities that you need, and the bed was perfect. The breakfasts are fantastic. The home baking was unexpected but was a fantastic touch.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay (2 nights)in Kenilworth, Andy and Tracey were excellent hosts with the added bonus that they remembered me from my visit 12 months previously! A very comfortable room with excellent shower/toilet facilities and all spotlessly clean. I elected for the 'Full English' each breakfast time and that stood me in good stead for hours on both days of walking! Highly recommended!

Response

Frank,Thank you very much for taking the time and trouble to pen your review it is greatly appreciated. Tracey remembers everybody. She can usually recall any dietary issues, food preferences and which room they stayed in. As a man of a certain age it is as much as I can do to remember Tracey!Very best wishes Andy & Tracey x

We have stayed with Tracie and Andy twice now and booked again for June this year. Everything is outstanding, the room have the best furniture, bed linen and towels. The food at breakfast is lovely, but the best thing about Kenilworth is Tracie and Andy, they are superb hosts nothing is too much trouble, all the little things you don’t expect.

Response

James,Thank you so very much for your lovely review it is greatly appreciated. It has been a pleasure to meet and look after you twice now and we are very much looking forward to your next visit.Very best wishes Andy & Tracey x
