"A special place to celebrate our honeymoon, perfectly relaxing with delicious food and peace and quiet."

10.0

Such a charming house with stunning views. We loved how secluded it was and that there was a little private area of the lake with chairs, perfect for relaxing after dinner. Close enough to be able to drive to towns such as Keswick, Ambleside and Windermere. Delicious food in the restaurant although quite pricey if you eat there everyday. All the staff treated us with special attention, asking about our stay, being so friendly and helpful, even offering recommendations for local places to visit. Special thanks to Mat who went above and beyond to make our stay super memorable.

Nothing to note, we loved everything about it!

"First visit, very short - wish we could have stayed longer."

9.0

An overnight visit. Exceptionally helpful staff. Stunning property and grounds. Breathtaking scenery. Dinner was amazing; breakfast substantial and delicious. The room had patio doors leading directly to the grounds - very handy when you have a dog with you. Very dog friendly btw.

A little too warm in the night. Nice to have the patio doors but couldn't really leave them open.
