"Cozy little place, 2 bedrooms (1 double 1 single). We went as a couple with a 2 year old.
We set up the travel cot in the single bedroom.
Pleasant stay. Just remember to buy groceries during the day as most places close by 5 or 6pm."
"Visable damp on the bathroom wall by the shower and a very strong smell of damp in the downstairs area including bedrooms. The owner tried to disguise the smell with air fresheners and by leaving the windows open but the smell of damp was still immediately apparent on entry.
Had we been staying longer than 2 nights and not arrived so late in the evening on the first night we would have left.
It was a real shame because everything else about the property and surrounding area was beautiful, but...
"A very comfortable hotel, a friendly, homely place for a wonderful weekend stay. Excellent food and drinks. Can't fault it at all, looking forward to another visit soon. Thank you very much. "

"The property was perfect for our 4 night stay. Sitting on the balcony in the afternoon sunshine watching the birds and, on two occasions red squirrels, was wonderful.plenty of walks from the door, Loughrigg Tarn, Elterwater( lovely food in Britannia Inn) and Cathedral cave(steep in parts but wonderful views). The only thing to be mindful is that the site has some steepish banks. The property has lots of books, cds and board games in case weather isn’t very good. All in all a very nice,cosy well equipped property in wonderful location."
"The hotel is beautifully situated on the side of a peaceful valley . Lots of lovely walks around.
Great food , friendly service, beautifully furnished. Heartily recommended!"
