This is a jewel of a guest house. It is located a short walk from Lake Windermere in a very pretty little town. The owners – Christine and Gerd –... personally run the guest house. Christine handles most contacts with guests – she is warm and welcoming, and instantly made us feel right at home. On the day of our arrival Christine was experimenting with baking since she is planning to serve afternoon tea. We were invited to sample her efforts (with a cup of tea, of course) and they proved to be absolute perfection. They will be, I am sure, a feature of the house praised by future guests. Christine served our delicious breakfasts with a cheerful morning greeting in the bright and friendly breakfast room. An outstanding stereo system played classical music, and the window looked out on a pleasant garden. Our room was not especially large but was clean, comfortable and well appointed. The weather at Lake Windermere was mostly awful, which made the cozy comfort of the guest house so much more important and welcome. We had chosen Latimer House in part because of the online reviews, and we add our votes to those of past guests who were delighted with their stay and found it excellent value for money. by a Hotels.com guest on 05/27/13
