The Burn How Garden House Hotel

Stayed for 2 nights here mid-week. Room was nice with a good shower over the bath and unlike many hotel rooms had two armchairs - good. Very nice friendly staff everywhere. The dining room is light and extremely nice and overlooks the lovely gardens. The breakfast bar has a large variety of fruits/cereals etc and there is a full menu page of choices for the cooked breakfast, which is cooked fresh, to order. We don't usually dine in hotels restaurants, preferring to find good quality local ones, but we had read good reports about this hotel and so tried evening dinner. It was first class. The king prawn special starters were superb and my filet steak was a generous size, cooked perfectly and my wife's sirloin similarly. The wine list is good and varied and good value at £21- £25 for a good quality one. We had the Fleurie at £23 and the Pinot Noir at £21 - nice. We enjoyed it so much we dined in again on our second night - our venison and lamb mains were excellent again. We were in room 25 downstairs in the large house, separate from the main building (only 25 metres away) overlooking a nice garden. Unfortunately the guests in the room above were walking about upstairs from about 6 am up until 8 am (when they went over for breakfast) and the upstairs floor creaked loudly. We aren't late risers but constant creaking at 6 am was too early for us. Overall a lovely place, nice staff and great location for Bowness front. We would go again but in an upstairs room.

Excellent hotel and staff

Staff were so friendly and accommodating. Hotel about 2 mins walk from centre of Bowness - room was a little dated but big with a big comfy bed. Breakfast was great!

Fabulous welcome. Lovely staff. Will definitely stay again. Thanks
