I had a fantastic stay at Glencree! The location is ideal, right between Bowness and Windermere, making it easy to explore both towns. The breakfast was delicious, featuring top-quality ingredients, and I appreciated the attention to cleanliness and comfort throughout my stay. However, I did find the spiral staircase a bit tricky to navigate with my bags.
