I had to drive to Barrow in furness to pick up some items but decided to stay in winderemere overnight instead of driving home , we chose the Archway based on very favourable reviews , we booked online and we were kept well informed regarding checking in and out times plus tips on local places to visit and to eat , which I thought was very nice , on arrival we were greeted by Anita who made us feel so very welcome , we were shown to our room and everything was explained to us regarding the utilities , we were also given two slices of lemon drizzle to go with our cuppas which we thought was very nice indeed . Our room was very clean and the modern shower was hot and powerful , the bed was very comfortable too . Our hosts were super friendly to us and were very attentive while we had a fantastic breakfast the following morning , nothing was too much trouble and I cannot recommend The Archway guest house any more highly , the location is very central to the middle of the town and we were not disturbed by any traffic noise at all , we have stayed in quite a few b&b and hotels in Winderemere and the Archway is up there with the best and we really are looking forward to staying here in the very near future .... *****
