Nothing really, the room could have taken a larger bed maybe.

The breakfasts were excellent and could not be bettered! Our first floor room (no 2) had an ensuite bathroom with a shower cubicle and overlooked the meadow to the rear. The room was a nice size with a TV. The hosts, Ben & Virginia were so friendly and helpful. I was taking part in a sailing event and the hotel could not be nearer to Bassenthwaite Sailing Club! There was plenty of off street parking.

Size of room and bathroom.

The breakfasts were really lovely. Room could have been a bit bigger and bathroom was very small and we had a problem with the shower which owners told us about. The bed was very comfy and the owners were very nice.

The location was wonderful - barely 20 minutes to Keswick or the coastal towns, and half that to Cockermouth. Views across the lake were lovely, with walks possible from the hotel itself without driving. Virginia and Ben were lovely when we met them, and were so helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was also delicious.

Having an option to have a shower in the room would have been a bonus but at the end of the day it comes down to personal preference as there was nothing wrong with the bath:)

The breakfast was delicious - all local produce. Virginia makes delicious granola and porridge. Location was perfect.

The curtain poles that stick out dug me a few times maybe different ones would be better - just a note :)

Lovely family run business

Private bathroom across the corridor.

Lovely and helpful hosts Virginia and Ben who recommended lovely spots for us to explore. Breakfast was very personalised and on time . Good idea the breakfast time is staggered.

Outside may need a bit of tlc but that's not important as inside and the family are lovely!

Had a comfy 4 night stay in Virginia and Ben's lovely family home with my son and dog. Good sized room (up two flights of wide stairs) very clean and tidy, with double and single bed plus bath and hand held shower. Good variety of teas and coffee bags plus fridge in the shared lounge that guests can use and help ourselves to the various milk.  Their girls and other guests were lovely and friendly. A breakfast form is emailed the previous night with lots of choice (cereals, yoghurt, full Cumbrian fry up, toast) and time suited to eat. Extremely dog friendly with a sausage for their breakfast, plus towels and bowls if required. Bassenthwaite Lake is a few mins walk away, lots of places for dogs to walk too. Large car park, great base for many a good hike and start of many adventures after a good night's sleep and hearty breakfast!
