Beautiful room, very comfortable ( best sleep I had on my whole trip). The breakfast was wonderful - linen tableclothes and real silver - all the finishing touches to make this a special,place to stay. It was a nice, short walk down to the water witH plenty to see along the way. Close to shopping, restaurants. The proprietors were very kind, helpful, friendly. I would definitely stay here again.
all reviews » They were exceptionally friendly, they did everything they could to accommodate our needs. The breakfast was excellent. The house was beautiful and very nicely decorated. They made me a packed lunch as I was at a course all day. The rooms were very comfortable and had beautiful views. I would recommend this guest house to everyone, I would even suggest going on a holiday/break just to stay here!!. Everything. The staffs in Oakfold are really sweet, great breakfast(with multiple choices), wonderful style of the house and comfortable bedroom. Pieces of art works and antiques can be found everywhere in the house. Lovely garden with parking place. Easy of access, only 10-15 mins from the train station and can walk down all the way to the lake. Very pleasant stay, albeit for only one night. We commented we should've stayed for longer. Very welcoming staff and a very comfortable room, which given the location and price, represented really good value for money. Its quite easy to pay a lot more for significantly less in the Lake District, and I think they had it pretty much spot on. Comfortable rooms with all basic amenities for a very reasonable price. TV, tea and coffee, ensuite bathroom and lovely, friendly host. Property is also quite close to Bowness which is very convenient. Also provided free wifi which is still unusual for a UK establishment. Breakfast was also efficient and hearty. Very well run B&B. My husband and i had a weekend away without the children, which was a real treat in itself, but the location, welcoming and friendly atmosphere at Oakfold House made our time in the Lakes all the more enjoyable and relaxing. Our room was simply and beautifully furnished and extremely clean. We look forward to a return visit. Very clean and spacious room. The owners are very helpful.

Very helpful and friendly owner. Good location. Good location near the lake, friendly staff. lovely warm relaxed atmosphere. good food. The house is very comfortable and homey. Since Oakfold is an old-style house it doesn't have any elevators. For people with heavy luggages they will have to be ready - However, the stairs are wide enough, it will never be a serious problem then. Mild musty smell in the room as we arrived, but more a function of a very old property. All windows were open to allow full ventilation, so they were obviously aware. A really small issue to be fair. the bathroom has a surprise. it has a sky window. hopefully, we don't get helicopters hovering above. It was ideal. Perfect. Car parking was a little tight but ok. Nothing. Nothing really, parking took a little skill, however that is not a big deal and shouldn't put anyone off. I have no complaints. Stain on the bed sheet. Freezing bathroom floor; needs a bigger rug. Sorry that they did not do a evening meal because the breakfast was great. a little expensive. Nothing really, except that our room was at the top floor, without a lift. I would have preferred a lower floor room. nothing. nothing. Nothing was lovely. What's not to like?. N/A. Nothing!. just the wifi in top floor is a bit slow. Nothing.
