The location was lovely and peaceful. My room overlooked the garden where the many and varied birds and red squirrels came to feed. The room itself was exceptionally clean and nicely decorated, with a decent sized en suite bathroom. Very comfortable. Corrine provided a kind welcome and delicious breakfasts, served in a spacious and clean conservatory. The location itself is within easy travelling distance of plenty of interesting places and things to do and see and not so nearly as overpopulated as the central Lakes area, so perfect for people requiring a bit more peace and solitude. I would definitely try to book there again if I revisited this part of the Lakes in the future. Many thanks to Corrine et al for a lovely ( if short!) stay.

Scenic location

Posted 1 Jul 2024 on Hotels

Room was homely with beautiful views, had a kettle, a selection of teas and coffees and delicious home made flapjacks. Breakfast was delicious and very entertaining with red squirrels popping in to feed and a whole variety of birds diving around. Property even has a drying room, which was very handy after a wet walk.

Hidden gem! Such an amazing place

Posted 20 May 2024 on Hotels

Stayed here for two nights with my friend while hiking in the area. Friendly and lovely place. The hosts were so friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was amazing, room was clean and comfortable with an amazing view over the garden and mountains beyond. Spent our evenings watching the red squirrels, birds, deer and badgers out of the bedroom window. Perfect place to use as a base or to spend time in the gardens. We had the addition of a packed lunch made for us which was lovely, the flapjacks are amazing by the way! Great location, friendly hosts, great service, parking, wifi, breakfast, comfy bed, clean bathroom and amazing views and wildlife. Will definitely be retunring next time we visit the area. 10/10!! Cant fault it in any way

Way too far off the main road with a pot holed drive and limited parking. Nobody present upon the room was tiny , clean but completely inappropriate for those blessed with a love for life. arrival or indeed departure.

Sorry you did not like our guest house.Most people like the fact that it is situated at the end of a quiet road away from noisy traffic and pollution. You are welcome to have a refund but you will need to speak to Expedia as they are your booking agent.
