Steve was a great host. Breakfast was scrumptious, lots of toast, and Steve cooked everything well. Large comfy bed. Great location, good for walking and nice pubs. Didn't use our car during our stay, nice walk to Tarn Howe and then to Coniston. Lovely walk to Wray Castle along the shores of Lake Windermere. There's an ice cream and chocolate shop in the village, also 3 pubs all doing excellent food with friendly staff.

"Comfortable bed and breakfast with welcoming hosts."

10.0

The location of the property was very central and close to all amenities. A warm welcome from the hosts who gave us cake and tea on arrival. The room was beautifully decorated with everything required. Breakfast was well cooked with good choices. The porridge was particularly good. Very quiet at night.

There was nothing to dislike.

"An absolute gem in the heart of the lakes"

10.0

The location of this property is right in the heart of the lakes with easy access to almost everywhere. Steve and Sharon our hosts were wonderful and an encyclopedia of local knowledge. Steve is also the chef and really knows how to rustle up some delicious meals. The roo. Was charming and absolutely spotless. I really can't recommend it enough. Book now, you won't be disappointed.

Nothing at all. The service and the room were both flawless.

"Great location and breakfasts, smaller room than expected."

7.0

Excellent cooked breakfasts with locally sourced ingredients and tablecloths on the tables with fresh flowers. Perfect location for visiting Hill Top Farm and other places of interest, with free cake served late afternoon. Very friendly, helpful and thoughtful hosts. Good views over the formal garden and hills beyond. Historic building being part of Wordsworth's school.

The room was smaller than expected and the bathroom was tiny. Quite difficult to find as there's a similarly named property with a prominent entrance adjacent, parking accessed via the grammar school entrance, requiring another circuit of the one-way system to reach.
