Jane and Paul are attentive and welcoming hosts. They are very helpful and knowledgeable. The property is conveniently located equidistantly between Windermere and Bowness. There is ample roadside parking at the front of the property. The rooms are well done up and kept clean with sufficient toiletries. Breakfast was hearty and delicious. We felt well looked after and would definitely return.

From the time we rang the door bell until me writing this review we have had nothing but a very warm welcome from Jane and Paul. Breakfast is ordered the night before via a text message, call or a chat with your hosts. It was cooked to perfection for both of us. Super king comfy bed. Slept like a log. Extremely clean and nothing touch trouble. Will absolutely be back. Thanks for a fantastic stay.

Cleanliness: impeccable Rooms: beautiful, bright and cozy. Comfy bed. Mirrors for girls and their makeup. Good quality Shampoo, conditioner and body wash supplied. Owners and hospitality: second to none, lovely people whom make you feel at home Food: Lovely and well presented Other: Great selection of DVDs to borrow for those cozy nights in after long walks. Maps available and great advice on where to go. A real home from home I really can't recommend this place enough. The location is perfect, the rooms are lovely (and spotless) with thoughtful little touches to make your stay perfect, such as a Kendal mint cake on your pillow! One of the most endearing things about this place is Paul and Sue, they really go out of their way to make your stay personalised and special. Each morning they cook your breakfast with the kitchen doors open so you can have a bit of banter and chat, they make their home your home for the stay. They can give you great advice on where to go and how to get there and really listen during conversations, as they are sure to ask you how it went the next morning. The breakfasts are lovely and the options available are more than adequate. I have traveled to the lakes most years since I was little, however after coming across this gem of a guest house, I will certainly be returning here at least once a year- if they'll have us! Be sure to book quickly as with only a few rooms and such good quality for price, you'll be the one missing out.

The b+b is well placed and is just a short walk to both Windermere and Bowness, and a short drive to most attractions and places of interest. There is plenty of free parking on the street outside and the breakfast is a great start to the day and the owners are happy to cook the breakfast to your liking. All but one room has an ensuite (the one we were in) but the bathroom is large and has a full size bath with plenty of shampoo, condition, body wash and body/hand cream although it was on the floor below down a flight of stairs. There was a good selection of DVDs on offer and a flat screen tv, and free wi-fi in all rooms.

Just returned from a two night stay and cant praise Jane and Paul enough. Loved every minute of our stay. Beautiful room and ensuite, absolutely spotless and lovely little touches, teddy, kendal mint cake, biscuits etc, great breakfasts, nothing too much trouble. We look forward to staying again for sure. Highly recommended. Hope you have a great Summer Jane and Paul and hope to see you in September. Julie & Les Houston

Me and my boyfriend stay here for two nights over the new year and were really impressed with the whole place and would definitely stay here again in the future. We were shown around by Sue when we arrived who was very welcoming and friendly. The room was very nicely decorated, clean and a decent size with en suite bathroom. Sue and Paul had very kindly provided us with a flask of mulled wine, mince pies and mint cake, which was a very nice touch. The breakfast both mornings was excellent, very tasty and a lot of choice available. We were also very impressed with the times as on new years day they had later breakfast times which was great as you didnt have to be up really early to get fed. Overall we loved our stay at Montfort and the hosts were professional, friendly and welcoming, with a good knowledge of the area. Both Sue and Paul should be very proud of this lovely b and b!

Great place to stay in Windermere. Location is close to the town and there is plenty of parking along the road. The owners were very friendly and had lots of helpful information and tips in what to do in the area. Our room was lovely, nicely decorated, extremely clean and had everything you would want. Breakfast was excellent, plenty of choice. I would definitely recommend Montfort Cottage.

We booked into Montfort Cottage for 2 nights over the bank holiday weekend for mine and my girlfriends anniversary. I had previously contacted Paul at the cottage who was extremely helpful in sorting out some flowers & wine for our arrival! The hosts Paul and Sue were absolutely brilliant and could not have done more for us over our stay. Breakfast is brilliant and is however you request it! The cottage itself is brilliantly situated between Bowness & Windermere town centres. Both towns are easily walkable from the Cottage. We were given the Windermere room in the cottage which was the biggest in the Cottage and on the top floor. The room was brilliant and felt very homely, nothing was missed. The bed was extremely comfortable! Had a great stay and will definitely be returning!
