    Everything about the property was superb! Even saw a red squirrel and some gorgeous birds in the garden terrace attached to the room.

    The hosts. Great friendly and hospitable hosts who made my 18 year old and his girlfriend feel very welcome. And they loved the home made muffin treats!!

    Being downstairs in we couldn't have a window open which would have been nice.

    The location was fantastic. The breakfast was top quality and wonderful cooked. One of the best we've had.

    The only thing I didn't like was the fact our bedroom opened straight into the dining room so you could hear people having breakfast. And you couldn't lock the door from the inside.

    Loved the location, so quiet and peaceful. The hosts were friendly and helpful as soon as we arrived. Perfect location for Ullswater if you didnt want to stay in the busy parts. Breakfast was amazing. Great value for money.

    There was nothing I didn’t like.

    A lovely B&B, full of character, uniquely furnished, cosy, delicious breakfast with homemade bread and muffins. Just a delightful stay, one night wasn’t enough. I had a lovely view of garden birds and a red squirrel feeding just outside my window. You can order pack lunches too, with home made bread.

    Beautiful location in the mountains, in the forest. Friendly owners. Lovely garden. The room has a very nice ambience. All the furniture in the room and dining room is made from recycled wood from old ships from Tanzania. Breakfast was delicious with a lot of options to choose from. Everything was perfect.

    Road from the A 66 very narrow not a lot of passing places, so would recommend approaching from the Ullswater side. But well worth the journey.

    Great stay. Lovely accommodation. Great hosts with an interesting story. Breakfast was delicious. Approach from the Ullswater side, better road to accommodation. Very central for touring around.

    A lovely place to stay with wonderful decor and amazing hospitality. The hosts Jim and Tine serve delicious breakfasts and are always there to help. We went off most of our days on Jim's wonderful recommended walks and hikes and Tine's daily muffins would be the best snack to take on the road.

    Fabulous secluded place to stay with easy access to the lakes and surrounding areas. Very attentive hosts with solid knowledge of the area, more than willing to advise on what to do if you need it. We recommend having breakfast as you will not be disappointed at the selection and quality available to you, all of which is beautifully presented. Hosts also catered for coeliac with various gluten free options. Watching the birds through the windows of the dining room was a real pleasure, a fantastic way to see so many British birds in one place. Room comfortable with everything you need
