Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location was lovely and peaceful. My room overlooked the garden where the many and varied birds and red squirrels came to feed. The room itself was exceptionally clean and nicely decorated, with a decent sized en suite bathroom. Very comfortable. Corrine provided a kind welcome and delicious breakfasts, served in a spacious and clean conservatory. The location itself is within easy travelling distance of plenty of interesting places and things to do and see and not so nearly as overpopulated as the central Lakes area, so perfect for people requiring a bit more peace and solitude. I would definitely try to book there again if I revisited this part of the Lakes in the future. Many thanks to Corrine et al for a lovely ( if short!) stay.

Scenic location
Room was homely with beautiful views, had a kettle, a selection of teas and coffees and delicious home made flapjacks. Breakfast was delicious and very entertaining with red squirrels popping in to feed and a whole variety of birds diving around. Property even has a drying room, which was very handy after a wet walk.

Hidden gem! Such an amazing place
Stayed here for two nights with my friend while hiking in the area. Friendly and lovely place. The hosts were so friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was amazing, room was clean and comfortable with an amazing view over the garden and mountains beyond. Spent our evenings watching the red squirrels, birds, deer and badgers out of the bedroom window. Perfect place to use as a base or to spend time in the gardens. We had the addition of a packed lunch made for us which was lovely, the flapjacks are amazing by the way! Great location, friendly hosts, great service, parking, wifi, breakfast, comfy bed, clean bathroom and amazing views and wildlife. Will definitely be retunring next time we visit the area. 10/10!! Cant fault it in any way

The location of the house is a perfect balance of peace and quiet, with stunning views and abundant wildlife garden, and yet 10 minutes walk from a village shop and 2 pubs. Excellent hospitality and delicious breakfast. Im already planning my next visit.

Jubilee holiday.
A hidden gem, a nature lovers paradise, I didn't want to leave! Beautiful views from the windows. Breakfast conservatory so close to the birds and squirrels you feel you could touch them. Plenty of paths to explore through the grounds and lots of walks nearby. Nothing too much trouble, dogs welcome, fresh milk provided; a very generous well cooked breakfast, everything clean and well cared for. Plenty of information given. You can tell I was impressed!
