A Hidden Gem with Impeccable Service!
Enjoyed a delightful stay with my partner for two nights. The homemade biscuits upon arrival were a sweet surprise. Room equipped with an amazing shower. Be sure to pre-order breakfast. the variety is remarkable! Angus and Sherry provide outstanding hospitality.

The location was exceptional, with everything in walking distance and convenient parking nearby. The room was well-kept, offering ample storage with a large, comfortable bed and cozy bedding. Unfortunately, the noise from the main road was distracting, and the check-in experience felt a bit impersonal, lacking warmth and engagement. While breakfast was enjoyable, a more welcoming atmosphere could enhance the overall experience.

Impressive cleanliness and upkeep.
The bathroom was unreasonably small and cramped, making it difficult to use comfortably. There was a notable lack of space, which made our stay physically uncomfortable. the host's rudeness and unprofessional behavior regarding check-in timing was completely unacceptable—it felt intrusive and stressful.

will definitely go back there again
The room was on the ground floor with a four-poster bed, had a private bathroom, and a fridge stocked with snacks & fresh milk. Breakfast was ordered in advance and featured locally sourced ingredients cooked fresh. The lounge had complimentary sherry and homemade biscuits, creating a cozy atmosphere. Excellent location just a two-minute walk from the lake.

Had a great time with friends! We enjoyed a lovely cruise on Lake Windermere followed by a visit to the steam railway at Lakeside. The place is a quick 3-minute walk to the lake, and the breakfast selection was impressive. Plus, the homemade biscuits and sherry in the lounge were a nice touch!
The shower was a bit complicated to figure out, but it did provide a powerful experience once we got it working.

We had a fantastic stay and loved the cozy decor and delicious breakfast options every morning. Relaxing in the shared lounge with complimentary sherry was a treat, and the lovely hot shower made our evenings extra comfy. Just a heads up, the Wi-Fi was a bit sluggish sometimes, but it didn't ruin our experience at all! 😊
