Jerichos Boutique is a beautifully decorated and furnished house. It is spotlessly clean and the bed was really comfy, free on site parking is a bonus and is in a nice quiet street. Great location- only a 2 minute walk to Windermere Train station, shops, pubs and restaurants. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and served a great breakfast. It is a 20-30 min walk down to Bowness lake and shops. Had a lovely 2 night stay. I Would definately recommend without hesitation.
