Grateful that “We’re not in Kansas anymore Toto!” I recently took a solo trip to England and stayed at College House for 11 days. Not only is the property stunning, peaceful, quiet and welcoming; but Frank and Portia are the perfect hosts. From recommendations for local foods and activities, to warm conversation over morning breakfast this place is a home away from home. Never having been away from my kiddo for such a long period, I was nervous about not knowing anyone and regretting the length of time I chose to travel. Windermere is an incredible village, no one knows a stranger, and Frank made me feel comfortable and welcome from the moment I walked in the front door. The location is clean and beautiful, all of the little details are there; the tea and coffee station, toiletries, fresh linens and towels, beautiful creative rooms, the view of the Fells, within a mile and a half walk of the stunning Lake Windermere there’s nothing more you need for a quiet getaway. I came a tourist and left a friend. I absolutely cannot wait to get back this fall. I had such a wonderful time, my son and I are already planning the next trip!
