    Breakfast is not at the country house but at the pub down the road. It's okay, but not great quality. I would recommend skipping breakfast, having it at another place.

    The owners were not there on arrival, we could just take the key and find the room. The room was really nice, with a great view. We enjoyed the stay.

    The property was very charming, it was tastefully decorated and in fitting with the local area. Our room was the Fellside with lovely views of the garden and fells there were 2 of us… not sharing a bed so needed the sofa bed which we struggled to get up, tell the owners if you will be using these beforehand, this was immediately dealt with and nothing seemed too much trouble. Dogs are allowed in all areas which made it for me a home from home . There was a lovely entrance - general seating area where you can make a drink and sit and read a book or just admire the scenery and a lovely garden to enjoy… weather permitting. The house had plenty of books and maps of the area and things to do on a wet day … of which there are many… the house provides blankets, walking sticks and sturdy umbrellas to borrow for all such occasions and weather conditions. The house used locally produced toiletries that smelt great and were eco friendly. There is also a new Sauna suite which was next to our room great ! with a shower and toilet this did the trick on those wet days by loosening and warming those tired cold knots and joints. The owners were friendly, welcoming and informative about the local area and wildlife, we didn’t see the resident badgers but we heard other guests talking about spotting them at dusk.

    A few days after the stay I've noticed a bunch of bed bug bites which are a bit itchy, I've thoroughly checked my own bed for signs and found none and haven't had them before at home, and haven't slept anywhere else other than Lake View and home so I would recommend a check of the single beds in the 2nd bedroom. That's the only possible criticism though, we had a lovely stay.

    Location was lovely, just a short stay but everything was great for us.

    Really can't fault anything - such a small thing, maybe sweetener as well as sugar in the rooms

    I thought I had booked to include breakfast, but realised I must have made a mistake when booking, so on finding the breakfast was not included it seemed more expensive than I anticipated. It was a wet and cool September night when we arrived, it would have been more comfortable if the heating had been on.

    Location very pleasant and property very welcoming with a well sited large conservatory with games and local maps and guides and a grandstand view of visiting badgers.

    10/10. This is one of the best, if not the best, places we stayed in the UK. Owners and staff are very friendly, we arrived little earlier than expected and we're allowed to check in early. This is a boutique hotel in very quiet location just a minut walk from the main road thorough the village and few minutes from the lake. Our room, Treetop, was the only one available at the time of booking and was exceptionally good. Nice decent size, very clean and beautifully decorated with exposed timber and bricks. Lovely large bathroom, comfy large bed, selection of coffees, teas and even hot chocolate. The place is dog friendly and do not charge extra for their stay which is absolutely brilliant. Prices are very reasonable and we got 10% discount at their sister business, Good Sport Bar, which is couple of minutes walk from the house and serves great food and nice selection of drinks. We loved our stay and will definitely be back. I truly recommend Lake View Country House.
