    Very welcoming and friendly staff. An amazing, character house with a large sitting room and shared guest kitchen - it was like staying with family. Rooms were large and cosy. Gem of a find. Great location - a short walk to Pooley Bridge and good base to explore the Lake District. Breakfast was excellent. Highly recommended.

    A bit further from centre than realised but really nice and a little quirky.

    A bit different. We occupied the top floor which was ideal. Breakfast and breakfast room were lovely and staff were exceptionally friendly and warm and welcoming.

    Due to the fact that it’s a listed building, you’ll have to share a bathroom, but this was not a problem for us.

    No complaints, but just a word of advice if you aren't driving. Not too long a walk from the village, but the road to and from it is always busy and there's very little in the way of even a grass verge to get out of the way on those occasions when traffic is approaching you from both directions. There's a local taxi firm, which I didn't use, but the Penrith bound bus actually dropped me off at the property's driveway last night ( last bus from the village, Saturday night, 21.15). So take a torch or high vis jacket if you go for the walking option at night. .My room had a business card for the taxi driver, next time that's what I'll be doing.

    Beautiful old house,as mentioned in other reviews. Everyone very friendly and helpful and really made me feel welcome. Grounds are lovely as are the views from the dining room and lounge. Very peaceful in the evening. My room was spacious and spotless, comfy bed, table with tea making facilities by the window.
