    Nothing at all! It was super amazing. Kate and Pete made me feel at home.

    Kate and Pete! What a gorgeous couple, my brother and sister my cousins. I felt home, not otherwise for a single second! Kate, you are such a wonderful person, extremely caring and very hard working but above all, you are extremely considerate! And Pete, I really want you to be my brother! Amazing caring and extremely tolerant man! Hats off to you both!

    Loved everything about our stay at Link House. A lovely property which was spotlessly clean and so comfortable. Ideally located for easy access to all areas, with a bus stop right outside to Keswick or Cockermouth for those that don't drive. Hosts Pete and Katie were so welcoming and friendly, and offered suggestions of places of interest to visit and places to eat. The beds are extremely comfortable, and I slept better thank I have in years! The food was delicious and plentiful, and we can't wait to go back.

    There is a fridge you can use in the downstairs communal room, but a fridge in the room would have a good addition. Not a comment on the property at all, but even though you are very close to the lake we didn't know that you can't access Bassenthwaite lake or walk round the edge of it before we got there - just letting anyone looking into the area know! There are lots of other lovely walks and bits of the lake you can access that you can drive to though.

    Lovely comfy room with welcoming hosts. Hosts gave us a great walking recommendation straight from the door of the house (Sale Fell) and before we arrived they were really handy in sending recommendations on where to book for dinner (it was a bank holiday so they wisely recommended that we book at a local pub - which turned out to be a lifesaver!). The breakfast was lovely, with a good range of choices. The beds are very comfy and it was well located in that you are just off the main road so you can easily get to Keswick and other places.

    Fantastic B&B. The whole place is spotlessly clean and very modern. We booked 3 rooms for 5 friends, all rooms were beautiful & spacious with super comfy beds. The hosts are wonderful & friendly. Breakfast is superb. The extra lounge area was a great bonus for the evenings and the scenery is gorgeous. The location is perfect for restaurants, just a few minutes walk away - The Pheasant Inn & Bassenthwaite Lake Station Cafe, both serving great food. This area is brilliant for walking & hiking whether you are experienced or not. We will definitely return.

    The introduction to our room and the offer of coffee and biscuits in the garden on arrival. The lovely large bed same as we have at home with very comfortable pillows, two comfortable chairs to relax in and great storage. The roomy shower. Breakfast. Our lovely smiley and chatty hosts who were attentive but not intrusive. The area is central to where we wanted to be and there was nice walks to enjoy in the evening especially the lovely wildlife area across the main road.

    Pete and Katie were very welcoming and their attention to detail ensured a great stay. Pete gave us directions to walk up Sale Fell and provided us with a map.
