Baha in South Lakeland

It was the first time coming to this restaurant and it won’t be our last! We aren’t local to the area but next time we visit we will definitely be booking a table here again. The staff were so friendly and explained the menu in detail, they couldn’t do enough for you. The food was absolutely delicious! Honestly the best burger I have ever had. My husband had the 3 piece meat platter and said it was amazing. The sauces offered were delicious too! Can’t wait to come back here in the not so near future. Thank you for a lovely meal 😁

Grossly overpriced for a bang average burger, which we could have got at spoons (and at least there you would get a side and sauces included). Also, staff generally were rude and dismissive. Definitely would steer clear.

We stayed here in August while we were in town for a wedding. I would definitely stay again. The rooms were very clean and cozy stocked with everything you could need. The hosts were also extremely nice and made a wonderful breakfast for us and also recommended some things for us to do. It was also extremely walkable.

Disappointing Experience Despite Being Marketed as Dog-Friendly We had pre-booked a table at this restaurant and informed them we’d be bringing a small dog. Upon arrival, we were told they would check if our table was ready, but strangely, they didn’t even take our name. We waited for a few minutes while another couple was seated, and then someone came back to tell us we couldn’t dine in the restaurant as planned. Instead, we were offered a seat in the entrance, which lacked any atmosphere and felt quite isolating. Overall, it was an underwhelming and unwelcoming experience. Thankfully, we’ve now found a genuinely dog-friendly restaurant with a much warmer team and a better atmosphere.

Beautifully restored 1895 home converted into a B & B. Gracious hospitality by the owners Rob & Margot. We arrived late, and they made the process seamless. Made to order breakfast was delicious in the morning with fresh fruit, juice, and coffee.

Went here for my hen do and it was amazing! We started with cocktail making, then onto afternoon tea and finally the karaoke. Safiya and the other staff made the experience really fun and enjoyable. Would definitely recommend! We stayed for drinks after and they had a dj and a saxophone player, really odd but worked really well.

We spent the weekend at Ash St Inn to celebrate our 35th anniversary. Our hosts Margit and Rob did not disappoint! We were pleasantly greeted, shown our way around and kindly given space to enjoy our stay. Beautiful, quiet and clean! The chocolate covered strawberries were a nice touch! Well done! Highly recommend.

Attended at BAHA today for a bottomless brunch and have to say it was amazing. Wasn’t sure what to expect but we were made to feel extremely welcome from the moment we arrived. The food was fabulous and the drinks were flowing . Tahali was amazing and was an absolute star. We would definitely return.

I was very impressed with this little inn. Absolute attention to detail in everything we expect from an inn. A very comfortable, well-appointed room and bathroom, lovely breakfast, well-located and with friendly, attentive innkeepers. They made arrangements for my Frank Lloyd Wright tour (via the Currier Museum which is moments away). Enjoyed my stay very much.

We had a great time here, food and service also superb. Staff were very helpful - we left belongings there by mistake when visiting the area and they kindly posted them onto our home. Thanks!

Booked in advance a 1st floor restaurant table with window view (as one of the surprises for my wife's 50th birthday, while on vacation in the Lake District) only to be totally let down as once we arrived to be told "The 1st floor restaurant is closed" with no apology whatsoever? When the member of staff was challenged and asked why I had not been notified at the time of booking or previously in order to be given the opportunity to book elsewhere he looked confused and gave no explanation and still no apology? We were offered a seat downstairs which was grotty looking, most undesirable to say the least, in such disgust we were left speechless and simply walked out. It was now evening 8pm and we stood no chance of trying to find another restaurant as they were all too busy! So, thanks to all at the 'BAHA' for totally ruining a special 50th birthday> I implore all to boycott this establishment! Book at your peril!

Amazing service - Pablo was amazing and very professional he has been very charming and friendly. The food was delicious and fresh and Marius was very professional and smiling and took from his time to have a chat with us and tell us more about the menu and the venue.We recommend this place, if you are in the area you must come, is the most beautiful venue around Windermere lake.Thank you guys for the nice afternoon.

Booked the premium afternoon tea with Fizzy Tarte for myself and family which is next door, excellent service right from time of booking. Due to specific requirements they happily sat us in neighbouring restaurant BAHA. GF afternoon tea was sublime as was the non allergenic. The children had food from the BAHA menu, my son proclaimed it was the best burger he's ever had, chicken was cooked beautifully and the melted cheese on the brioche bun was a perfect accompaniment. Matt our server was excellent and went above and beyond for us. Definitely will return for another round.

We booked a meal for the restaurant which was lovely. Great staff, lovely decor and the food was really nice, good atmosphere. Not a massive menu but a good choice and was really tasty. The staff were really friendly too. After we ate we went downstairs, it was Saturday night and it was really busy. So no idea why they only had 3 bar staff on. I queued for about 15 mins, missed half the guy on Sax set, missed out on dancing with my friends. Eventually got fed up and joined the group, but we still wanted a bottle of wine. Went back to queue again for another 15 mins, by which time the group couldn’t be bothered so we left and went elsewhere. Such a shame, the vibe was buzzing and we didn’t want to leave but having to queue for such a long time and still not get a drink was ridiculous. Definitely need more staff behind the bar.

We received a very warm welcome and were shown to a nice table. It took 20 minutes to be asked for our order but after that the service was very good. The food was good and reasonably priced and the decor was very cool.

My wife and I have stayed here several times, usually getting in late so we don't get to really enjoy the place, but it's always clean, always comfortable, always friendly, and always attentive to detail.

We had a table for 20 for a bottomless brunch. The food was huge and absolutely delicious. The staff we so friendly and really attentive. There was a good range of drinks available on the brunch. Thanks to the lovely staff. We had a fantastic time!

good range of options, decent service and comfortable enough. Well located for a stroll either before or after food and fairly cheap as well.

Went to the Karaoke Pod as a group of 11 friends which was great fun. We had intended to just go back to the rented house after karaoke but the downstairs bar had fantastic music and a brilliant atmosphere so we ended up staying. The barman ‘Mark?’ was an absolute star. He was very efficient, friendly and had great craic. The music a DJ and saxophonist were awesome. Even the security staff were lovely, friendly and professional. We would highly recommend the Baha. It was one of the highlights of our weekend.

This place is done nicely, very bougie. There is a bar downstairs and a restaurant upstairs, the staff were really friendly and even got me a birthday card. The food wasn’t anything special though, we thought this was going to be fine dining but it was more like TGI Fridays. I’d come back to the bar but I wouldn’t eat in the restaurant again.

Got stung with additional drinks added to the bill which we didn't have or order, in addition I went to the bar to get the drinks and they added a service charges ?

Wonderful hosts at a beautiful location! Rob and Margrit had amazing recommendations for our time in Nee Hampshire.

Booked to have a family meal on Sunday 12th November. We all had Sunday lunch and we were not disappointed at all. The service was amazing as was the food. We had a fantastic time. Thank you so much

Really enjoyed my evening at Baha Bowness, very nice place. They had introduced a new menu on the night we went which tasted unbelievable, however the portion sizes were too small in my opinion and wasn't worth what I paid. Apart from that very good experience

Lovely quirky place with fabulous customer service! Great food with enough choice for an afternoon stop in Windermere 🍹🍹

Quiet time of year so no problem turning up without a booking. Prompt service. Good food - ordered 3 small plates to share, beautiful! Great vibe and lovely decor. Bonus was staying at the Cranleigh Hotel and getting 15% discount!

Had an enjoyable night here. The food was really tasty and the service was really good, everyone was very friendly. I'd say this is more a family friendly place than a romantic venue but didn't stop us having a good time! Plus we'd definitely come...

Small inn with all of the amenities you could dream of. Best breakfast ever, with real yogurt, homemade bread and outstanding omelettes! Clean, quiet, well kept, with on-site parking

The venue is very quirky staff very attentive the venue itself. It’s only a short walk from the lakes. Food was lovely visit again soon

Having lived in the Lake District for 8 years I’ve only ever been to Baha for drinks. I’ve always wanted to try their food so I went last night (9th of October). The way the food is described on the menu is certainly inviting and...

What a fantastic night at Baha restaurant! The food was hot, delicious and all came out together for 16 people. Andrea and all the staff were absolutely amazing! Because we were a big group we sent our food orders in a couple of weeks before....

Outstanding! We loved this cozy and welcoming bed and breakfast. Margit and Rob were delightful and kind. They always had recommendations for sightseeing and the breakfast and treats were delicious. It was SO nice to unwind and decompress for a weekend. We can't wait to come back.

This was by far the best bed and breakfast I’ve stayed at. Owners very welcoming and home warm and inviting. Clean room with all amenities. The prepared morning breakfast was a special treat. Well done Ash Inn!

Excellent! Margit and Robert were the perfect host! Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable with soft, crisp sheets. Breakfast was delicious! Your choice of several options including scrumptious homemade granola and yogurt. Drinks and homemade treats were available day and night. Great location. Beautiful home that was cozy and comfortable. We hope to return and bring our friends. Thank you Margit and Robert for your lovely hospitality and kindness. We truly enjoyed our stay!

4 people had a lovely meal after walking. Good menu. Friendly staff. Lovely decor and vibe. Really enjoyed it.Emily was super.

Before arriving at the restaurant I rang up to book a table , I was told it would not be necessary as they was very quiet so we arrived half an hour later with no booking. Was greeted at the door by a lady who...

Lovely bar with great decor but we had to leave after one drink due to it being so cold. Everyone sat in the seats near the door were also leaving which staff wouldn’t have been aware of. One guy asked for the air con to...

Lovely decor. Nice staff (although I have to use a mobility aid and the staff member did not offer me the use of the lift so it took me ages to get up and downstairs) Food is bland feels very ‘big chain like’ - basically...

Firstly I’d like to start by saying the staff are great. Really attentive. The menu sounds excellent (slightly more expensive than I’d expect) and the choices are good. However, the reality of the food was pretty bad - the crab was ok but the mac...

This is a dog friendly restaurant/ bar , which is not on their website . If you are looking for somewhere to eat where dogs are allowed at the table great , but not for me . There is very limited veggy / vegan choices...

We visited baha which was recommended by a hotel we was staying at, so we gave it a try and was very happy. Atmosphere and food was lovely, would definitely recommend and would come back here.

Had an absolutely horrendous experience here and would never return. Stayed a few nights up in Windermere for the bank holiday with my partner, and on our last night we ventured out into Bowness with a couple of recommendations of bars to try. A couple...

We visited on a quiet Monday evening, service was good and we loved the decor of the restaurant area. Although the menu is small it is fairly priced and we had no problem making a choice. The burgers were really good and the chips were...

The restaurant is beautiful and staff very nice, unfortunately they don’t let you eat just starters, you are forced to eat mains. I won’t be back for food, not recommend it.

My husband and I stayed and it was a great experience. Nice, clean comfortable rooms, with a fantastic breakfast. Also very close to the downtown for restaurants, shops, etc. Easy for guests to determine themselves how much interaction (or no interaction) they want with others staying. Highly recommend!

My husband and I had a wonderful dinner at Baha last Saturday! Beautiful decor and a relaxing atmosphere and the service was excellent from start to finish. We both had the Sticky bbq burger which was honestly delicious. I was gutted I didn't have room...

Just came in for couple of drinks and some food. We ordered the mango rum punch to start and they were amazing they quickly noticed that we wanted to order food and came straight to the table to take our order. The food was amazing...

Excellent stay. Owners were so nice and helpful without being overbearing at all. Beautiful inn and breakfast was excellent.

Classic bed and breakfast with lovely hosts, who really care about your experience and prepare an amazing breakfast. The room we stayed in was very thoughtfully decorated and quite comfortable.

First time we had been here and cannot fault the service. Not sure if it was the Manger who served us but nothing was too much trouble. Food was lovely and presented well.

Been here a few times with no problem until recently. Ordered drinks from bar young blonde haired lady very snappy and rude obviously didn't want to be there.

So, you need somewhere to stay but you want to feel at home -- better than home. You want to be spoiled, you want some personal attention and maybe a home-cooked breakfast every morning and a glass of wine in the afternoon. You also want a great resource for visitors; like -- Where are the best local hikes? Breweries? Vegan restaurants? Steak House or the best local joint for a smoothie? The locals know. Ask Margit and Rob, the innkeepers of The Ash Street Inn. They are your personalized concierge who lets you stay in their house and makes you a winning breakfast from scratch. It has its own special charm, quality sheets, big, fat, fluffy towels and fresh-baked cookies daily with tea/coffee to enjoy by the fireplace. The Ash Street Inn is one of the most beautiful places to stay in New Hampshire and offers the best value of any lodging in Manchester. Margit and Rob are delightful! Rosemarie Zimmerer, New Jersey

Just had the most Amazing Sunday lunch everything was sooo tasty , took my friend for her Birthday she loved it she had the vegetarian option and she said it was honestly the best she’s ever had , we had the beef platter so so...

Had Sunday lunch. Best roast dinner we have eaten away from a home cooked one anywhere. It was fabulous. Veg choices were unusual, but that added to the enjoyment. Brilliant staff, reasonable prices, good atmosphere and a cool experience.

Food was tasteless and we were asked to leave before we had finished our drinks because they wanted the table back even though we had only been sat there for an hour.

Amazing Sunday lunch with massive sharing portions and bottomless gravy. We are picky about our roasts and Yorkshires and we're not disappointed. Staff were friendly and service was good too.

We ate here on Sunday afternoon. Between us we had Sunday lunch, bau buns and Katsu curry. All were fab. Particularly the gravy…..worth a visit just for that Service was great and everyone was lovely. Would definitely recommend and will be back 😁

Excellent food quality I had katsu curry chicken only fault was flavour wasn’t to my taste but it wasn’t horrible it was still nice I’d say It tasted more like a korma. Potion sizes were big tho and we did enjoy our meals

Food was all deep fried and bland. Disappointed, had no flavour to it. The seaweed crisps are kale, and super oily. Bao buns were stale and had no flavour to the chicken

Rudest waitress ever! Very unwelcoming and matter of fact. Would definitely not recommend. Arrived at 8.30 and was asked to wait then told no table.

I'm a massive roast fan so was a little disappointed as wasn't as good as I was hoping but is hard to find any really good reviews for roasts round here so will try somewhere else when we next come up this way. Was filling...

My husband and I visited BAHA for an evening meal during a weekend away in Bowness. The menu was quirky with lots of delicious sounding food and cocktails. I’m gluten free and the allergen labelling was clear and easy to follow on the main menu,...

My wife and I stayed one night, a lovely experience. We plan to return when the Currier Museum’s Frank Lloyd Wright houses are open for touring. We felt comfortable, pampered, secure (the owners are on-site 24/7) and well taken care of. The owners/hosts are great - gracious and caring. Our 2nd floor room (207) was a delight - so pretty with lots of windows; roomy; comfortable with a stuffed chair, couch and a desk; quiet, even with a full house that night; a lovely turret and its curved stained glass windows; roomy bathroom; quiet neighborhood. Nice! We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious breakfast. Our previous experiences with BnB’s have been in England and Scotland. This one at Ash Street Inn was at the top. Our next visit will be in warmer weather where we can enjoy their open porch with chairs and tables.

This might be the neatest BnB I’ve ever stayed in. The attention to detail made it super authentic. While I didn’t have the (included) breakfast, it smelled really good (made to order). The rooms are well appointed and lack for nothing. Highly recommend staying with Rob & Margit.

Possibly the best B & B I’ve ever stayed in. 5 star room, ambiance, breakfasts and especially 5 star Hosts.

Beautiful place to stay, the owners were great and the food was phenomenal. Everything was fully stocked and well thought out. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice bed and breakfast!

This is a beautiful place.The innkeepers are so welcoming and the breakfast is great. We stayed 2 nights and we will come again!

Amazing B&B! The hosts were so kind, and the house was lovely. Very comfortable bed and room, the breakfast was delicious! I highly recommend staying here!

So sweet! The only BNB in town! I stayed here the last night of a work trip, in order to get a feel for Manchester: The house has maintained all the old details, from the stained glass, to the furniture; there is even a working fireplace! It's walking distance from Elm Street, and the Art Museum(although the Frank Lloyd Wright Home, has been closed, lately.) The breakfast was delicious! And they were even able to accommodate Gluten-Free! Can't recommend enough. Thank you, so much!

Awesome free snacks. Cute decorations. Cozy rooms. Good free breakfast. Amicable innkeepers. Easy to park, with easy check-in and check-out process. They also provide free travel amenities such as toothpaste and makeup remover wipes. The TV was nice with a lot of available channels. There was also an infrared space healer included in the room. Conveniently located near attractions downtown.

Wonderful hosts, we were well taken care of.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Rob and Margit were very hospitable. They provide delicious breakfast. Our rooms were prettily decorated, very comfortable. The Inn is ideally located. It is within walking distance to the Currier Museum, to two Frank Llyod Wright homes that also belong to the museum. It is a walking to the main part of the city. We highly recommend Ash Street Inn.

Very nice people, beautiful house, a lovely room with a fireplace. Would highly recommend!

Great place for a weekend getaway. Rob and Margit were excellent hosts and made our stay very enjoyable. This is a great location that is within walking distance of a lot of fun spots in the city. The breakfast was wonderful and the amenities were a huge plus. The room was awesome, very comfortable and the bathroom we had was spacious. Definitely recommend Ash Street Inn, 5 stars all around!

What a lovely and well maintained inn, very close to downtown. Onsite and friendly innkeepers warmly welcomed us, and comfortable accomodations made for a very nice stay. I'll look forward to a future visit.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for one night while on vacation. We had a wonderful time enjoying the old, beautiful home and all it had to offer. We had a late check-in and the hosts were very accommodating. Our favorite parts of the stay were the lovely stained glass windows and the delicious breakfast.

One nicest Inns we’ve ever stayed in!! Margit and Rob are the nicest hosts that have an impeccable B&B that is truly near perfection. Gorgeous rooms, comfortable big beds and And all the little details that make the difference. Terrific food made and served by caring hosts. A “Must” stay if you’re planning a trip to New England.

Everything about Ash Street Inn was lovely! First, room 206 exceeded my expectations. It was spacious, welcoming, homey, comfortable, and very much teal! There was so much thought put into every aspect of the room whether it be the full size bath sheets, ample towel bars, amenities, or even the Febreeze (in case one needed it after using the bathroom). Also, the room was perfectly cleaned. I have an eye for noticing dirt, etc. and my eyes never noticed an undesirable thing. Though it took a minute for the shower water to warm, the room's mechanics were modern. In other words, there was strong water pressure and ample air conditioning which again exceeded my expectations for a home over a century old. The hospitality from the innkeepers was sweet, friendly, and welcoming. Upon being greeted, I was quickly shown where all the snacks and beverages were for use during my stay. The baked goods were in one word: yummy! Breakfast gave you a choice of 4-5 entrees all cooked-to-order. You also had a selection of fruits, cereals, yogurts, and juices. It was always easy to exit the inn regardless of which way you were turning as the streets of this area of Manchester didn't seem to have a lot of traffic. Definitely recommend!

I just walked by but didn't stay. Beautiful place & if I didn't live in the area I'd stay @ this beautiful B&B.

Do not stay here not only did we find strange people looking through the Halls at night the man who runs the place was creepy and very weird do not use this company.

Our only complaint is that we were only able to stay one night. The inn is warm, comfortable, and completely charming. We stayed in room 205, which has a fireplace and four-poster bed. The bed was comfortable, with lots of pillows. There are also thick, snuggly robes for your use. The bathroom is well-equipped and the towels are thick and luxurious. We arrived after hours, but there were snacks and coffee available in the kitchen. This place is a keeper and we'll be back!

Having had a mediocre meal,with very long waits between main courses coming out. My main disappointment was to come home and check my credit card statement to find that I had three different amounts charged when I had ordered the same drink on three occasions. Didn’t realise that price of drinks could fluctuate in such an establishment in the space of minutes.

Wine was brought opened on the table probably opened 4 weeks ago as it tasted like vinegar.Even though everything was pre ordered the wait was something else.No apologies from the staff or compensation given for the wait even though we were spending ££££.Not a good value for money!Try anywhere else!

Lovely and immensely comfortable with antiques and traditional New England decor throughout. The room was gorgeous with a gas fireplace and one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. Breakfast was fantastic. The hosts are friendly and helpful without being overbearing and they are very knowledge about the area and things to partake in. I regret we did not have the opportunity to stay longer but absolutely plan to stay again soon.

"BREATHE - TAKING" rooms, dining room and very quaint atmosphere!!!!!!

The couple who owns this bed and breakfast are welcoming and accommodating from breakfast to recommendations to check out. In fact, we forgot our phone charger in the room, and the owners mailed it to us at no charge! We will absolutely stay there again if we visit the area again.

Wonderful Inn Very homey feeling

Having noticed Baha on our visit to Bowness at New Year, we liked the look of the establishment - modern, trendy and a good vibe on an evening for cocktails.We decided to visit for Breakfast last Saturday morning, for which we made a huge mistake! Whilst whoever owns the place has invested a considerable amount of money into the furnishings, they've invested zero into staff training or management presence!Having arrived for Brunch we arrived and were greeted by a guy who obviously didn't want to be at work. Asking for a table x4, he pointed to the back of the dining area and told us to sit there and order at the bar. Ordering at the bar sounds quite easy - wrong!! With only x2 members of staff actively serving (whilst a further x2 were floating with their heads in the clouds), we had to queue for over 15 minutes to place our meals and drinks request.Having ordered and paid, it was disappointing that a coffee was missed and we had to request the Bucks Fizz to be served - which is listed on their menu as being included with all main meals! When the food was served, the pancakes had to be returned as they were served cold, including the streaky bacon. The other x3 meals were edible, though bacon under cooked and all meals served warm.Customer service from our experience at Baha is a foreign concept to the members of staff there and sadly I wouldn't recommend for dining; though drinks on an evening at New Year was a different experience.

The innkeepers are gracious and helpful. The made to order breakfast is excellent and exactly as requested in a separate dining room. The rooms are spacious and newly renovated bathrooms are comfortable. The 2 rooms with gas fireplace units are very cozy. The parlor also has a gas fireplace. The location is excellent - it's a half mile from most downtown events and restaurants and yet has a neighborhood feel with the Currier Museum only 2 blocks away. I am definitely returning.

Looking at the reviews and reading the menu online, said that I should try to book a table for a surprise dinner. All been very easy and simple, staff very helpful. Arrived around 19.30 , had some drinks downstairs in a nice environment. We then decided to go upstairs for food. All been spot on. proseco on the table as I preorder, then starters and mains came very quickly even it was full house. Service was amazing, food as well . We didn't try desserts, but promise to do that next visit.

Had a great night at the Ash Street Inn! The room was beautiful and very well thought out with conveniences. The gas fireplace added to the charm. Rob and Margit were great hosts and breakfast was delicious.

A very cute B&B right near downtown Manchester. Great folks that run it, beautiful rooms and house. Lots of nice little elements to the place. They put out fantastic little treats and the breakfast is fantastic. We hope to go back again!

My husband and I came to stay for the weekend on a very cold valentines! We were greeted with the warm smells of freshly baked muffins and the smiles of our innkeepers Rob and Margit. We felt instantly at home. The house is beautiful but warm and comfortable. You can see yourself reading a book by the fire in the parlor. When we got back from our excursions out in the cold we came back to warm mulled wine and great pre-dinner conversation. Rob and Margit even had suggestions for dinner. Then there was breakfast! To die for! Made to order - I have never had that in a B&B. I was really impressed with the focus on the customer. One of the couples staying were vegan and they were totally welcomed with food and choices as was everyone else. I cannot recommend the Ash Street Inn and Rob & Margit enough. My husband and I are already planning our next stay there.

I had a wonderdul stay. I would highly recommend staying a few nights. Both innkeepers were very friendly and accommodating.

In a word, OUTSTANDING. My husband and I were in Manchester for a rather difficult task, and wanted to stay somewhere that would give us a sense of peace and comfort. We found it - and so much more - at The Ash St. Inn. Breathtakingly beautiful, and every conceivable detail was anticipated and provided for. Eric is a delightful Innkeeper who seems to love what he does, and it shows. This place is a true gem, and we will be back again and again.
