Great Location Excellent Stay

We had an excellent stay and from start to finish the hosts were extremely friendly and informative. We had a great room on the ground floor at the front and was able to park our car just outside the room on the road at the front of the property with a space saved for us by the host, who moved his car to give us the space. We were messaged by the hosts for our approximate ETA but be wary if you have an I phone as I did not get the message until I disconnected from the car. Location was great and just a short walk down the hill into the centre of Bowness. Breakfast was excellent with quality ingredients and cooked to order in a very relaxed environment.

A warm welcome awaits you at the Melbourne Guest house which is tucked away in the heart of Bowness. Friendly owners where nothing is too much trouble, free parking, lovely cosy rooms with en-suite and a great breakfast to start your day off. Everything in Bowness is on your doorstep; seconds not minutes from all the amenities.

房間頗干净，但床垫有些太软。早歺食物尚可。气温只有几度的情况下业主还是不愿意开暖气。房价比对附近国际四星级酒店差不多，性价比不高。

Location to Bowness was excellent. Owners were very friendly. Room was lovely, bed was comfortable, ensuite was lovely and clean. It even had a little fridge in the wardrobe. Breakfast was awesome. At first we didn't know that they had designated parking at the end of the street but we did manage to park on the road outside the property. Would definitely stay there again.
