“Perfect for a short break or longer stay.”
+Lovely property tucked away in a side street, very quiet yet only a few minutes walk to the centre of Bowness. Stayed in Herdwick the cute comfy en-suite single room tucked away in the eaves. The breakfast hamper was fantastic with a good selection of food on offer. Very friendly welcome from the owners & George the dog. Would thoroughly recommend.
−Nothing.

“Vey comfortable”
+Nice location with available parking. Plus a single room was available so it was a reasonable price.
−They have no dining room. A continental breakfast is brought to your room in a mini hamper. It was very nice. Tea/Coffee making available in room. I liked it. I guess some prefer a cooked breakfast but they have produced a list of local places where you can get breakfast.

+Comfy room in top of house. Comfy bed and rocking chair to look at views. Under 10 mins from centre but quiet neighbourhood. Friendly and helpful welcome.
−A bit confused by required upgrade.

“Lovely overnight stop”
+A lovely hotel in Bowness which has lovingly been restored in the theme of Beatrix Potter's books. Our room was Beatrix and looked out on to the colourful cottage garden. Lots of extras, magazines in the room, lovely cups and glasses and blankets for sitting in the garden. Breakfast was continental and served in your room, delivered in a hamper and basket. Everything had been thought off and it couldn't be faulted but personally we still prefer to go down to breakfast
−Nothing really. It was self check in and didnt see the owners until leaving so felt a little impersonal

“Puddle Duck Lodge is a charming, quirky and memorable alternative to a standard hotel.”
+Puddle Duck Lodge is a delightfully quirky and charming place to stay. Throughout the rooms and wider property,including the garden area,there are fascinating trinkets and unexpected touches to discover. It is clearly the product of considerable thought, imagination and effort, creating accommodation that genuinely lives up to the name Puddle Duck Lodge. This is not standard hotel accommodation, but that is precisely its appeal. A continental breakfast is thoughtfully delivered to the room in a hamper, and the hosts are exceptionally welcoming and helpful. It was an unexpected and thoroughly enjoyable experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere a little different. I very much hope to return in the future.
