We have just returned from our first visit to Virginia Cottage. It will not be our last. We have had the best of times with the best of hosts. Our first proper holiday away together, and we have made memories that will last a lifetime. Angus and Sherrie made our stay exceptional, from the room, the facilities, the advice on where to go, where to eat we couldn't have asked for more. As for the breakfast, absolutely outstanding and set us up for the day, every day. You will not regret booking here, I guarantee it. We will definitely be back again. We have made friends for life in Angus and Sherrie, and we can't thank them enough.

Fantastic location for lakeside Bowness-on-Windermere with everything on your doorstep! Angus and Cherie are most welcoming hosts and the accommodation is fantastically rustic! First class breakfast sets you on the right path for adventures. Thank you for a truly memorable break!

The welcome from Angus and Sherry was second to none. They were welcoming and extremely friendly. The room was very pleasant and very clean. The breakfasts were excellent. Not a lot of things bad to say about our stay just a pity about there being no parking. However soon got over that. All Veterans are given a great welcome it helps with Angus being a Veteran as well and Veterans given a discount. Call and you will be given a price. Will definitely be back.

Joined the Bowness On Windermere group as we were visiting and had provisionally booked Virginia Cottage. We decided not to stay with Angus and Sherry because of some disgusting remarks to members of the public which were left by Angus. This man is misogynistic, anti trans, anti vegan and extremely rude when someone asked about ‘cruelty free’. This man is horrible. I would avoid like the plague.

What an amazing welcome! The room was cosy and spotless and the bed was comfortable. Angus and Sherry made us feel very much at home and looked after us royally. The breakfast choices were great so I don’t think anyone would leave this place hungry. A great centre for eating places for lunch or dinner (lots of variety in a walking radius of less than ten minutes) and exploring the south Lakes. If you need suggestions, the hosts have lots of different ideas to suit all tastes.

This was our second time here and we love it. Very well situated close to Lake Windermere and the vibrant town of Bowness. Angus and Sherry are the perfect hosts - nothing is too much trouble and they have great suggestions for places to visit. Our room had everything we needed and the bed was the most comfortable we've slept in away from home. Highly recommend the breakfast, so much choice and perfectly cooked.

The pillows are the fluffiest things I have ever felt in my life and then the most brilliant thing was the view out of the window all the way down to lake Windermere. It was the best stay I have ever been on in my life and that has been a lot of trips. Fab!

A very welcoming B&B with gracious, helpful hosts! Our room was very adequate with en-suite facilities. Our host was very helpful in assisting with taxi services for the following morning. Breakfast was in a very pleasant dining area and was excellent! The hostess was extremely friendly and engaging and attended to all of our needs! Our host made sure we were in our taxi and sent us on our way with a great farewell! Very enjoyable and highly recommended! Jim & Joyce USA
