Guesthouses, Bowness
Based in the heart of Bowness on Windermere, Virginia Cottage Guesthouse is the ideal place to stay for your holiday. Next door to a dog friendly pub and literally 90 places to eat and drink within a 10 minute walk. Husband and wife owned business who have been in hospitality for many years and we offer a customer experience second to none.
We are an 11 bedroom Guest House offering room only or breakfast stays. Adult only and dog friendly, we offer a comfortable stay for quieter couples and singles who prefer a more adult environment without the hustle and bustle of the younger partygoers.
We love dogs and our reviews clearly show we go beyond to ensure they have a comfortable stay as well as you. We even allow dogs down to breakfast for those that choose it and offer them sausages if they are allowed. We even cooked poached eggs for a dog that couldn’t have sausages, we don’t mind.
We are only a 5 minute walk from the main car park which currently boasts a fee of only £21 for 3 days and roughly £40 for a weeks parking. Less than what you would pay for 2 days in most cities.
We can book restaurants for you and give advice on most pubs in the area plus as a keen walker, we can share many experiences of walks for you to enjoy.
Book direct for the best deals with 15% off for Bluelight which is expanded to all key workers, teachers and self employed who had to work through Covid and 30% off for Armed Forces Veterans with production of their Veterans Card (MOD100)

Style Consultant, Cumbria
Hello, my name is Carole Greenland and I am the founder of Wardrobe Wakeup, a wardrobe de-cluttering, wardrobe planning, personal styling, colour analysis and personal shopping service!
Clothes are more than just fabric; they are a means of communication and expression about who you are, how you feel, and where you're headed. At Wardrobe Wake-up, I help you unlock that narrative, transforming your wardrobe into a tool of self-expression and confidence. For me, this journey is about creativity and connection. When your wardrobe reflects your best self, it’s not about vanity or trends; it’s about empowerment. Confidence radiates from feeling prepared and put-together, and it all starts with an organized, intentional wardrobe. Imagine fewer clothes, yet more outfits. De-clutter your wardrobe, de-clutter your mind, and make space for possibility. Together, we’ll find outfits you never imagined—ones that make you feel incredible and communicate who you truly are.
My clients often say, “I would never have thought of putting that with that!” The results? A wardrobe that fits your life, reflects your personality, boosts your confidence, and always has you prepared for whatever comes next.
Let’s “wake up” your wardrobe and make it really work for you, no more unworn clothes, unwise purchases or feelings of “having nothing to wear”.
Below is a testimonial from one of my clients to illustrate this.
WARDROBE WAKE-UP TESTIMONIAL.
Wow, I’ve just had the most amazing day with Carole Greenland and her Wardrobe Wake-up.
I was feeling a bit disillusioned and fed up of my wardrobe and needed to spice it up a little bit from “mummy” vibes to professional businesswomen.
It was such a fun day, firstly exploring the colours that suited me then going through my existing wardrobe, finding new ways to mix and match clothing with the colours and style that suit me. I was amazed how much I already had and with a bit of creativity, playing with colours and accessorising it has opened up a whole new wardrobe for me.
Carole did a “gap analysis” and helped find some key elements to complement what I already have.
Carole is so much fun to work with, she puts you totally at ease and knows what makes you look good. She has really boosted my confidence and helped me feel confident, professional, and sexy again!
