Fodor's Expert Review Rum Doodle
Sunny Bank Rd., Windermere, Cumbria, LA23 2EN, England
Named after a classic climbing novel, Rum Doodle is an immaculately and imaginatively designed B&B. Fond attention has clearly been spent on sourcing retro furniture and on the many special and occasionally quirky touches, from four-poster beds and bowler-hat lights to the special Rum Doodle coffee and prosecco in each of the nine rooms. Guests get fresh homemade cookies in their rooms on arrival and there are homemade jams, too. Apart from Stornaway black pudding, all the food is locally sourced.
PROS
- wonderfully stylish with lots of fun quirks
- friendly welcome
- sumptuous breakfast
CONS
- some distance from both Bowness and Windermere centers
- two-night minimum stay in high season
