Amazing stay, room had everything we could have needed. Lots of little complimentary extras which were very thoughtful. Lake view and hiking routes from the front door - perfect!

We had been staying somewhere else in Stratford upon Avon, due to be 2 nights, but it was so awful, we decided to head to the Lakes a day early, on the Friday, as we were due to go into our self catering accommodation on the Saturday. We booked last minute at the Ravenstone Manor and so, so happy we did. From the second we arrived, we were treated so well by the amazing staff. We had hot drinks by the open fire. We had a lovely evening meal, followed by a walk down to the lake and beautiful Church in close proximity to the hotel. We had a hot chocolate on our return. We slept well and had a delicious breakfast the next morning; again the staff were incredible. Loved this hotel and would definitely recommend to everyone.

We loved our stay, very comfy beds/rooms, the bar area was lovely, we sat next to the real fire and had dinner, perfect end to the day after a long walk.
Breakfast was also very nice, good selection of food and quick friendly service.
Highfield features great lake and mountain views and its own private car park. The beautiful rooms have private bathrooms and tea/coffee making facilities.

Liked everything about it, very quiet and peaceful, could hear and see the birds. The location is fairly central to Cockermouth and Keswick. We loved Mirehouse too, definitely worth a visit and that is close by.

A quiet little village in the north of the Lake District far enough away from the main towns of Keswick, etc. to enable you to enjoy the peace of the Lake District without the crowds. Some nice pubs in and around the village where you can experience the local atmosphere and mix with the locals. Best to have a car to explore the areas around the village.

Covers a Friday on an outward joyride <500 miles and an inward of similar distance on the following Monday. Allocated a large room at £119 on Friday and a noticeably smaller one on our return on the Monday at a rate of £129 - no explanation. The hotel allows dogs in dining areas and it was overrun, one customer had 3 dogs, all filthy. Hotel should allow in one area only

Good food, good beer and some nice wines. Friendly staff.
My room was a little overpriced for what it was (a small double) would be very cramped if two people sharing, but was adequate for the nights stay I needed. I travelled down from Scotland on my way home to London and stopped on the way overnight just to get a dinner and some rest.
The room was in front of a shared entrance so could be noisy and the other guest rooms were close so could occasionally hear talking and general noise. The window opens up onto the road and the car park opposite so can also get noisy if guests arrive or leave.
The location of the premises is perfect for access to walks and the lakes.

Fabulous location for walkers.
Fabulous location for walkers. Great variety of routes of different ranges of difficulty. Ospreys are back nesting at the southern end of the lake for bird watchers. Range of other activities too for none hikers!
Lovely cottage in a nice location. Keswick easily accessible by bus and car. Close to the distillery, which is worth a visit. Can't think of any real downside to the cottage. I struggle to keep the fire going, though that was probably my inexperience. The beds were comfortable, nice size lounge and well equipped kitchen. Village pub less than a 5 minute walk. Nicve area with some nice walks, though ours were limited owing to the weather.
absolutely fantastic cosy cottage in a peaceful location close to Bassenthwaite village . fantastic views from the lounge and bedrooms. short walk to the village where there is a lovely pub called the sun inn who are very friendly and do great food . the cottage had panel heaters in every room so it’s always warm . good supply of logs and fire lighters for the stove. can’t fault out stay it was perfect. great base for walking.
Very quiet and charming place🥰 I visited Fidel every morning (alpaca)☺️ it was very clean and dishwasher is a big plus🥳 There is an agility area for dogs (I am traveling with two dogs) where they can run off leash. There is also plenty of space around to walk your dog on a leash ,And the sunset 😍😍😍 we will definitely come back here again 😍 Also very close to lake district park.
Excellent location on the flank of Skiddaw and a short drive to Keswick. Ideal location for the North lakes and surrounding area. We liked the farm environment and everyone was super helpful. The interior of our room was exceptional. The window was a bit small but as we spent most of our time out doors it isn't really an issue. We were able to plug in our EV for charging.
Lovely Inn in a great location to visit all the lakes. Beautiful little garden around the Inn, nice pub downstairs. Breakfast was decent -buffet and hot meals and lots of choices. Staff was very friendly. The Inn is also extremly dog friendly; even provided little sleeping treats in the room for dogs which was a nice touch and a doggy friendly menu in the restaurant.
Very comfortable room on the edge of Bassenthwaite lake. Generous tea tray provided with homemade biscuits. Flowers on the windowsill were a lovely touch. We made use of the fridge to keep breakfast & picnic foodstuffs.
The luxury shower gel, soap & hand lotion were also appreciated.
The location on Bassenthwaite was picture perfect, ideal for walking and touring. The host family (and their lovely dogs) could not have been more welcoming and friendly. Although we only stayed for a short time we feel wonderfully refreshed and can’t wait to return
Avery nice hotel with attention to detail
Bedroom was spacious and plenty of drawers and cupboards lovely big bathroom with separate shower
Food was excellent and beautifully presented lovely atmosphere and the bar was very cosy with views across the countryside
Very special place. This gorgeous farmhouse was the perfect home base for our family visit to the lake district. You could spend your entire trip just enjoying the immediate surroundings. Everything was clean, comfortable, and like the pictures but more beautiful!
Gardens are beautiful. Bathroom was very nice.
Access to the fells Sale, etc. was excellent. They had two decent draft beers on tap.
Breakfast was very nice and a good selection from the continental area as well as the à la cart menu.
Plenty of good parking.
A wonderful cottage which was very well equipped and perfectly located for exploring Bassenthwaite and the surrounding area. We were left a lovely welcoming basket which was very much appreciated. We would definitely recommend Apple Tree Cottage to others.
We have visited for years since our honeymoon. It has changed and lacks the finesse and detail like fresh flowers and a lounge to sit in which most hotels have. We understand the changes are needed for it to survive and be economically viable.
I liked the room very bright and clean . Hotel restaurant is amazing , staff at the restaurant very friendly and cleaners around the hotel are very friendly . The lake view is stunning . Very unique hotel with its own charm
Food was great: both breakfast and dinner were well up the standard we were expecting. The hotel staff were very responsive to our request for a room change. The location is just fabulous. And the hotel is very quiet.
Absolutely gorgeous old coaching inn in a secluded, peaceful spot in the Lake District. Dog friendly. Loved the old bar and beautiful gardens. The staff, (especially Tom and Sam) were brilliant. Food was delicious!!
