Phil's photography tips added a personal touch to our stay, and the warm welcome with tea and cake after our hikes made us feel at home.

Strongly recommend for a holiday

Immaculate room, friendly hosts, delightful breakfast, with lots of local knowledge shared, and we were well looked after during our two-night stay with an ensuite and a flat-screen TV, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploration.

Nothing that I didn’t like.

Couldn't recommend more for a temporary stay.

Comfortable room, great breakfast, with a lovely en-suite bathroom featuring a modern rainfall shower that made our stay truly enjoyable, and the hosts were friendly and helped us find our way around the nearby sights.

Nothing to improve on.

The stunning views from our room and the cozy guest lounge made our stay unforgettable!

Oh mate, the homemade shortbread was a game-changer, and Phil whipped up the best Cumbrian breakfast I’ve ever had! Plus, the hosts went above and beyond with little touches that made our stay special.

The rooms weren’t massive, but we were more than comfy with our stuff expertly tucked away.

This place suits me perfectly with free wi-fi, flat-screen TV, and great staff who helped with late check out. I love the relaxed atmosphere and board games available. Highly recommend for a cozy stay! I'm coming back for a business trip.

great breakfast but some noise

Breakfast exceeded expectations with fresh dishes prepared daily. Phil provided fantastic guidance on local attractions and even offered our daughter valuable photography tips.

The noise from the street near our room was noticeable at times.

The Deluxe Double Room was spacious and spotlessly clean with an ensuite bathroom. Plenty of storage space for our stuff, and the views from the window were just incredible. A cozy atmosphere, perfect for relaxing after a day out. Really enjoyed the little touches, like the homemade shortbread upon arrival.

Perfect getaway for couples

Had an really good time during our 2 nights. Phil and Helen were attentive hosts, always available to assist us. Breakfast was amazing, particularly Helen's baked goods that welcomed us upon arrival. We even caught a glimpse of Phil’s photography skills around the hotel, adding a unique flair to the atmosphere. The view from our room was amazing, the kind of scenery that’s lovely.

It wasn't exactly cheap but worth every penny.

Charming, Charming, Charming

From the moment we stepped in, the warmth was palpable! The homemade shortbread and welcome tea were such a delightful treat after our travels. I absolutely loved the stunning views of the Skiddaw and Blencathra mountains from our Deluxe Double Room—every sunrise was like a painting come to life! 🌄

recommend ❤️❤️

The breakfast 🍳 was incredible—freshly sourced, especially the sausages! Phil and Helen were so welcoming, making us feel at home instantly. Only downside was a bit of road noise at night.

would come again

Room was spotless and had a beautiful view of the mountains. Great amenities like a flat-screen TV, electric kettle, and free toiletries made the stay comfortable. Breakfast was hearty and included locally sourced bacon. Phil and Helen were super welcoming, and the homemade shortbread on arrival was a lovely touch.

The room size is a bit cramped, which might be a dealbreaker for some. Road noise from the nearby busy A66 is pretty noticeable with the window open, impacting your peace at night. A sliding bathroom door that doesn't fully shut might be a nuisance for more privacy-conscious guests. If you're planning a longer stay, expect the breakfast choices to get repetitive after a couple of days, as options remain somewhat limited.

A fantastic stay with friends! We hiked the scenic trails, explored the Theatre by the Lake, and enjoyed the best homemade cakes. The hosts were super helpful and made us feel at home. The room was cozy, and the breakfast was top-notch with fresh local ingredients. Can't wait to return!

There were times when it was a bit noisy at night, which disturbed our sleep a little.
