Perfect B&B - Rating 5/5

We stayed for a week. The location is spot on, convenient for walking into Windermere and Bowness. Parking on the street was easy. Breakfasts were exceptional. Our room was comfortable and laid out well, with a love seat for watching the telly. The bath, and especially the shower, were spacious. Liz & Chris are great hosts and quite knowledgeable about the area. We will definitely stay here on our next visit to the Lake District.

A hidden gem - Rating 5/5

Very welcoming on arrival.Friendly local knowledge helped me and my friend plan our precious time in the The Lake District. The breakfast menu is varied, nutritious and delicious. Thoughtful touches included appropriate pictures, place mats, maps, the epitome of a perfect B&B. I have the highest praise for Liz and Chris. I highly recommend Rocklea for a weeks stay to thoroughly enjoy the visit.

EXCEPTIONAL - Rating 5/5

Just returned from a four night stay - the guest house is exceptionally clean the owners Liz and Chris are very welcoming. The breakfast choice and quality of food is very very good. We stayed in the Ullswater room which has plenty of room with comfy lounge chairs to watch tv and a lovely view of the brook.It is ideally located roughly half way between Bowness and Windermere with a handy pub across the road if you need it. Would highly recommend it. We will be back.

Lovely warm stay - Rating 5/5

Having just spent three nights here, I would have to say what a great place, very clean and welcoming, the breakfast was excellent, but for me the bit I liked was both Liz & Chris were so friendly, telling us everything we needed to know about the surrounding area, and where best to go, having been to Windermere several times, I thought I knew it well! I know it a bit more now.Ps Liz if you read this our legs are still recovering haha.

Response

Glad we helped you enjoy Windermere that much more - and am relieved to hear your legs are doing well! Liz

Beautiful stay! - Rating 5/5

We stayed 3 nights in the Ullswater room at Rocklea. Liz and Chris were so welcoming and friendly all weekend, providing recommendations for our stay. The room was so spacious and clean with a gorgeous view of the stream. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast - we tried the pancakes and brioche with chorizo and poached eggs. We will definitely be returning next year. Thank you both!

Yay!

Wonderful guesthouse- Rating 5/5

We've had a lovely stay with Liz & Chris for three days, a very comfortable room and delicious vegan and gluten free breakfasts cooked from scratch. I've never been anywhere that could serve me homemade gluten and dairy free pancakes before, best breakfast I've ever had! We highly recommend rocklea guesthouse and Liz and Chris are lovely.
