Ben and Virginia were gracious hosts, so warm and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. We were encouraged to treat the place as our own and the breakfast, made to order, was delicious!! The Pheasant is a three minute walk away for a cheeky pint or a lovely lunch/evening meal. Although slightly more expensive, it’s worth it to be able to stagger back and not worry about driving. The bus is also at the end of the driveway and will take you into Keswick should you wish. Thank you both for a lovely stay.

A last minute booking for myself to get up the Lake District. Friendly owners. Good breakfast! Great location to explore the area. Will definitely look to stay here again in the future! I took in Blencathra, Hellvelyn and Cat Bells the weekend I visited, as well as spending time in nearby Keswick. ##### Colin Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Malcolm Nov 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service On the first night we were locked out of our room and there was no one on reception and the out of hours number was not being answered and we had to sleep in the lounge this was totally unacceptable despite being offered a free night ##### Malcolm ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Dec 28, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Exactly as a guest house should be! We were incredibly lucky to be the only guests for the time we stayed. I am sure the service would have been great with more people there too but, with only us it would have been easy to let it slip. Instead, we were literally waited on at breakfast, chatted with, had the guest lounge to ourselves and our 2 year old daughter even went off and played with the family's children. The room was clearly newly decorated, had plenty of space and was a nice place to be. O ly downsides were it was a little cold at times and for me, the bed was soft but that is more my problem than theirs! Overall, a fabulous stay, a lovely part of the world a d we will definitely look to use them again when we are back in that neck of the woods! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Oct 25, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely stay We had a lovely two nights here. We were offered (and accepted) tea and felt welcomed into a family home - almost like friends. The packed lunch (for a small fee) was also really useful to have and saved us having to go looking for a cafe/shop. The accommodation is so close to the water and you get great views of the hills round about - when it's clear enough to see them, of course! ;) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shirley Sep 3, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Would stay again highly recommend Lovely place to stay breakfast was delicious Hosts very friendly ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/87350CC3005685E965CABA83EAE6830330CE0B271630659791856.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Shirley Stayed 1 night in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard Aug 29, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The Hotel is in a lovely setting, across the road from the lake. Our room was at the front so we had a lovely view. We had a very comfy bed so slept well. The breakfast was very good, with plenty of choice. There is a lovely lounge area, It has a honesty bar which is reasonably priced. Ben and Virginia Haven't had the hotel long, but they were very good hosts. Ben even offered to take us to the pub, as it was too far for us to walk (aged 74 ). Nothing was too much trouble for them, ask and you received. We wish them all the best for the future. ##### Richard Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 29, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great relaxing stay, nicely tucked away A fantastic warm welcome from the owner.

Ben and V are very pleasant and helpful. The guest house is in a great position for walks. Wish we had taken our swimming costumes as there are plenty of places to swim in Bassenthwaite Lake, great for children to swim. The breakfast choices are wide, tasty and well cooked. ##### Carol Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 17, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This little b&b was a lovely place to stay after long days of walking with the dogs. Rooms are quiet, clean and comfortable and the dining / family rooms were cute and homely with a fireplace and games. The couple running the place were really lovely and accommodating. We were made to feel comfortable traipsing through with our muddy dogs and the breakfasts were extra special. Lots of effort has gone into making you feel welcome and we felt well taken care of for our whole stay. Highly recommend for anyone with dogs and kids too. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Susan Aug 17, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Room comfort #### Disappointing. Claustrophobic. Adequate at Best Booked a standard double room - which according to pictures online was basic but small double room - found ourselves in the attic!! Double bed pushed under eaves where ceiling was so low the headboard couldn't be attached. this room is a single at best as half the bed was under ceilings so low, it was head bash territory - on sharp corners - very painful and health and safety nightmare. Couldn't stand upright in 50% of the room - again, ceilings too low. Due to trying to put lights on bedside tables,and due to the low ceiling again, the said tables were too low - about a foot below the bed - useless. Toiletries were not individually packed as stated, so no shower as don't know if general toiletries sanitised or not. Full English?? Up to 5 items pre-ordered night before - I had toast so that my husband could order a decent meal. Was considering a family visit, but this is no return. Claustrophobic, charmless, tired - no internet either as despite trying passcode it would not connect and all the reply we got was to keep trying. Not an experience we wish to repeat ##### Susan Stayed 1 night in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 13, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Large comfortable room and dog friendly.

Breakfast was fine but I don't like the idea of limiting food too five items which included toast.For A four star b /b this was unnecessary and a bit mean. ##### michael Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 2, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Great views of the lake and super hosts ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Maison Claire](https://www.expedia.ca/Chester-Hotels-Maison-Claire.h2250858.Hotel-Information) > > [No Man's Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-No-Mans-Fort.h11536410.Hotel-Information) > > [OYO Studiotel Great Yarmouth - Modern Hotel Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Great-Yarmouth-Hotels-OYO-Studiotel-Great-Yarmouth.h27649496.Hotel-Information) > > [Greystoke House](https://www.expedia.ca/Keswick-Hotels-Greystoke-House.h29075738.Hotel-Information) > > [The George](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-George-Hotel.h45140643.Hotel-Information) > > [The Collingwood](https://www.expedia.ca/Great-Yarmouth-Hotels-The-Collingwood.h76228660.Hotel-Information) > > [The Edwardene](https://www.expedia.ca/Keswick-Hotels-The-Edwardene.h100215258.Hotel-Information) > > [Seafield House](https://www.expedia.ca/Hove-Hotels-Seafield-House.h2262037.Hotel-Information) > > [Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Low-Wood-Bay.h5243.Hotel-Information) > > [The White Hart Royal Hotel, Moreton-in-Marsh](https://www.expedia.ca/Moreton-In-Marsh-Hotels-White-Hart-Royal-Hotel.h3848404.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Jay, Derby by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.ca/Derby-Hotels-Blue-Jay.h27427635.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.ca/Scarborough-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h44509462.Hotel-Information) > > [The White Swan](https://www.expedia.ca/Richmond-Hotels-The-White-Swan.h17687783.Hotel-Information) > > [Keswick, Garden Apartment for 2\.
