Lovely B&B, with Janz and Robert taking great care of us over our short stay; making sure we were aware of covid measures beforehand, and supplying local tips for walks and easy access to town.
Situated at the back of the town on the edge of the fell amazing views of the lake at the front. Perfectly placed to be able to walk uphill onto the open hills and woods to the east, or down the hill to the town for evening food and drinks. Great for those wanting a bit of both worlds.
Definitely on the list of places to stay if we're back in Bowness!

Lovely little b&b walking distance from Lake Windermere with other great walks on your doorstep. Janz was a wonderful host and made us feel welcome and safe. The room was clean and cosy with a good view of the lake. You can really make the most of what this town and the surrounding area has to offer when staying at Blenheim. Thank you!

I wish I could leave as glowing a review as the other reviews here (which is why I booked).
The good things: Janz (the owner) is extremely nice and helpful. My room was very quiet and clean, the bed was very comfortable, and there was a nice walk I could do from the lodge itself.
What I wish I had read in other reviews:
- The room I stayed in was not one you would want to spend any amount of time in. The only view I had of the lake was if I stood by the window and craned my head. The room itself was very small, with only a bed and a small wooden chair, and the sitting room was closed due to

Blenheim Lodge is an absolutely beautiful place to stay. The rooms are stunningly pretty with probably the most amazing views of the Lakes to be found. The beds are luxurious and the most comfy we have ever found. Every thought is given by Janz and Robert the hosts to making a stay special. Nothing is too much trouble and there is always the warmest of welcomes. Little touches like tea making facilities , bathing products all add to the wonderful homely feeling on arrival. Breakfast is marvellous!! Lots of choice and plenty of everything. The breakfast room has a relaxing calming atmosphere, a

My husband and I wanted a short get away and although we love to go camping in the lakes, the weather forecast was supposed to be horrendous. We decided to look for a room with a nice view and found Blenheim Lodge. We arrived early at about 2pm and could check in then with no problem. Even though check in is at 4pm, there was plenty of parking too. The owners were very pleasant and knowledgeable of the area and Janz was very helpful and made us feel right at home. We even got introduced to one of the family dogs ( gentle giant that he is ). The view from the room was stunning and the pictures on

A wonderful B&B in the town of Bowness-on-Windermere! Traveled to Blenheim for my first trip post-lockdown and the experience was outstanding. COVID specific things aside, the rooms were very comfortable, especially the bed, the location was a short 5 minute walk to the lake, restaurants, and shops, and it's on a very quiet cul-de-sac away from the main hustle and bustle of town. Janz was a very accommodating host and took every precaution to make sure her B&B was COVID safe while still ensuring a pre-COVID level of service. Would definitely stay again!

After looking at the great reviews online, the “lovely pictures” provided online, it seemed a winner to book my mum and her partner Blenheim lodge as they were visiting the Lake District, however, this was the worst mistake I could have ever made.
Firstly, upon arrival the host was briefly there. They told my mum and her partner if they need anything to contact them via email. Not the best service considering my mother is over 60 and in a brand new environment which she was not familiar with.
The rooms where small, stuffy and did not resemble the pictures online! The bedding was not clean

We stayed again at Blenheim Lodge and nothing is too much trouble for the owners Janz and Robert.
Blenheim Lodge has a very steep incline but this is made clear when you read up about this B & B. When you arrive, the views are spectacular.
It is immaculately clean and so comfortable.
I have noticed a negative review, which I completely disagree with. Also no one in the world 🌎 is accountable for the good old British weather.

A very lovely place to live in the lake district. I like the quiet and the clean room, the delicious breakfast and of course my kind host, Janz and her husband. If you wanna have some really relaxed day in the lake district. Just feel no hesitate to book their room. 湖区里非常棒的住宿地方。 我喜欢这里安静和干净的房间，美味的早餐，当然还有亲切热情的主
