    Best English breakfast that I've eated! All house has a beautiful decoration! Very zen with a lot of love. Great local products: sausage, bacon and ketchup! Apple juice very tasty! Tim and Karen are a lovely couple, always given us the best recommendations for restaurants and must see and do. Nice music around the house!

    Karen & Tim are wonderful, friendly, down to earth people who have opened their house as a guest house. It has been refurbished in a very tasteful way, and has great views. Breakfast is individualised per person, based on the list of ingredients provided and nothing appears too much trouble.

    The best B&B we have ever stayed in! Idyllic setting. Amazing view of the lake and mountains. So peaceful and relaxing. Room great. Bed and bedding very comfortable. Decor first class. Such attention to detail. Karen and Tim, fabulous hosts. Very helpful and knowledgeable. A lovely, approachable couple. Got to say, the best breakfast ever! Especially the porridge 😁 You definitely will not be disappointed if you choose this Guest House.

    Very lovely cottage in the center of lake disctrict - outside of the main cities but close to everything. with amasing owners, ready to help us on many occasions. They gave us very accurate recommendations for restaurant which eased our mind - as they were really tasty and not pricey. We had the chance to stay in the double room with view on the lake, it worth it so much. They also offered some lunch packs for our hikes - fruit, sandwich, water and cakes for 8£ each. Due to the weather condition we did not try to have our breakfast outside, but on a sunny day, I would definitely recommending to try.

    You would find it very difficult to find anything unlikeable about this Guesthouse, infact I believe you would find it difficult to beat anywhere else.

    I loved the warm friendly welcome to the the Guest House, which was beautifully furnished and had amazing views especially the morning views. Karen & Tim are exceptional hosts and know how to make their guests feel at ease and relaxed from the start to finish of their stay. Nothing is too much trouble they went above and beyond to make our days memorable with their own personal touches and I would highly recommend this Guest house to anyone who would like to stay. Spotless throughout, fabulous ambiance, delicious food, extremely comfortable room and bathroom that met all our needs

    Great location (just off A66), opposite Bassenthwaite Lake. Very well kept with lovely outdoor area. Room was very comfortable with all the amenities you need with a lovely view of the meadow. Breakfast was perfectly cooked with a wide range of options available (order online the day before). Hosts Karen & Tim were lovely; not obtrusive but there is you needed anything. Great value for money and would highly recommend.

    Nothing, couldn’t fault anything.

    It was a lovely peaceful stay and we were welcomed by the owners when we first got there. The room was immaculate and we had a lovely view of the lake. I especially loved the fact that they catered to people with coeliac disease and it was the best gluten free breakfast i have ever had. Couldn’t of asked for a better place to stay and the house was well presented aswell. Thank you so much and i hope to be back in the future!

    There is nothing wrong with the property or hosts.

    The owners, Tim & and Karen, are fantastic. We arrived with a warm welcome and an unexpected bottle of bubbly to celebrate our anniversary. We were made to feel comfortable the whole stay. We could not have asked for better. The breakfast and quality were the best we have had. All fresh and local produce, highly recommended the full English and the pancakes. The location is perfect with fantastic views without flocks of people. Mostly highly recommended the guesthouse, we will definitely be going back.

Our room had a great view on the lake and Tim's breakfasts were fantastic. Karen gave us loads of advice on local travel and where to eat out on an evening. I really would recommend staying here in the future.
