This is one of the best places I have ever stayed hands down! Everyone was so so friendly and the room was so clean and cozy. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the lady serving was so sweet. I had an early train on the day I checked out, and I was so sad I couldn’t have breakfast that day! I will think about the Rum Doodle every day until I can go back and stay again. The most special place!

Lovely place to find.
I’d rather tell the hotel the bad stuff. Bath was awesome. Shower too. Furniture looked good. Breakfast in our room was outstanding. I’d like mayo with breaky also but i could have asked. So no points deducted. Bed comfy. Four poster bed a nice touch. Most paint and fixtures nice. I would recommend. Xxx lovely owners.

Excellent wedding anniversary
We loved our 2 night stay at Rum Doodle! Our room was beautifully decorated, bed and pillows very comfy and we particularly appreciated the small touches (Flannels, robes, wine on arrival, breakfast service on the room).. Service was impeccable, breakfast beautiful, location quiet and near enough to the Lakes. Our best room yet in Windermere, we'll definitely come back!

Fabulous stay
On arrival we were greeted by the friendly hostess with the offer of a hot drink and a nice chat. Our room was lovely, clean and very comfortable with refreshments and toiletries provided, also a lovely hot shower. The breakfast was amazing, couldn't be better, with a lovely cheerful lady serving who couldn't do enough for you. Would recommend.
