The b&b is in a great location and was very clean, the bed was extremely comfortable and hosts are helpful, considerate and quick to reply! :) The breakfast hamper is very generous and is a must as most places in Keswick don’t serve food until 12. The best part of our stay were the pet lambs!!

Absolutely spotlessly clean, the kitchen was better equipped than my kitchen at home!

Liked everything about it, very quiet and peaceful, could hear and see the birds. The location is fairly central to Cockermouth and Keswick. We loved Mirehouse too, definitely worth a visit and that is close by.

A quiet little village in the north of the Lake District far enough away from the main towns of Keswick, etc. to enable you to enjoy the peace of the Lake District without the crowds. Some nice pubs in and around the village where you can experience the local atmosphere and mix with the locals. Best to have a car to explore the areas around the village.

Covers a Friday on an outward joyride <500 miles and an inward of similar distance on the following Monday. Allocated a large room at £119 on Friday and a noticeably smaller one on our return on the Monday at a rate of £129 - no explanation. The hotel allows dogs in dining areas and it was overrun, one customer had 3 dogs, all filthy. Hotel should allow in one area only

Good food, good beer and some nice wines. Friendly staff.
My room was a little overpriced for what it was (a small double) would be very cramped if two people sharing, but was adequate for the nights stay I needed. I travelled down from Scotland on my way home to London and stopped on the way overnight just to get a dinner and some rest.
The room was in front of a shared entrance so could be noisy and the other guest rooms were close so could occasionally hear talking and general noise. The window opens up onto the road and the car park opposite so can also get noisy if guests arrive or leave.
The location of the premises is perfect for access to walks and the lakes.

The whole experience was a joy from the Staff,Room,Grounds and the food simply outstanding.
A Hotel that would outshine many 5 star hotels in ambiance and that family feeling.
We defiantly will visit again

Fabulous location for walkers.
Fabulous location for walkers. Great variety of routes of different ranges of difficulty. Ospreys are back nesting at the southern end of the lake for bird watchers. Range of other activities too for none hikers!
Absolutely stunning location, views of the mountains, the waterfall, the lake and even the sea.
Whatever the weather, it was gorgeous. So quiet at nice, with only the sheep or the chickens making the odd noise.
The house is amazing, such a lovely atmosphere and feel to it. The bath was amazing too. Water gets very hot and really good pressure - much better than i get at home.
It's also not too far from Keswick if you need to go to town (although it takes a little while to get to the main road!).
Excellent location on the flank of Skiddaw and a short drive to Keswick. Ideal location for the North lakes and surrounding area. We liked the farm environment and everyone was super helpful. The interior of our room was exceptional. The window was a bit small but as we spent most of our time out doors it isn't really an issue. We were able to plug in our EV for charging.
Lovely Inn in a great location to visit all the lakes. Beautiful little garden around the Inn, nice pub downstairs. Breakfast was decent -buffet and hot meals and lots of choices. Staff was very friendly. The Inn is also extremly dog friendly; even provided little sleeping treats in the room for dogs which was a nice touch and a doggy friendly menu in the restaurant.
Good location for exploring nearby Keswick and surrounding areas. Stunning views from the back of the property. The cottage has great potential and could be a fantastic little holiday let but unfortunately all the negatives listed below really let it down. Hosts please take note because it has the potential to be great with more care and attention from you!
Very comfortable room on the edge of Bassenthwaite lake. Generous tea tray provided with homemade biscuits. Flowers on the windowsill were a lovely touch. We made use of the fridge to keep breakfast & picnic foodstuffs.
The luxury shower gel, soap & hand lotion were also appreciated.
Everything was spotlessly clean, the hosts Abby and Corrine were super friendly & welcoming. Such a beautiful farm a short drive from Keswick town centre. Easy to find, view from our room was amazing, so lucky to be able to wake up to such a stunning view of the hills and lake.
Lovely compact cottage. If someone likes quiet holiday is absolutely perfect ( we did) 4 miles away from Keswick so only few min drive . Loved that owners were thoughtful and left all essentials: cleaning products ,teatowels ,toilet paper ,even milk and cake on arrival
Avery nice hotel with attention to detail
Bedroom was spacious and plenty of drawers and cupboards lovely big bathroom with separate shower
Food was excellent and beautifully presented lovely atmosphere and the bar was very cosy with views across the countryside
Very special place. This gorgeous farmhouse was the perfect home base for our family visit to the lake district. You could spend your entire trip just enjoying the immediate surroundings. Everything was clean, comfortable, and like the pictures but more beautiful!
We have visited for years since our honeymoon. It has changed and lacks the finesse and detail like fresh flowers and a lounge to sit in which most hotels have. We understand the changes are needed for it to survive and be economically viable.
We did not have breakfast provided.
The location was stunning. Absolutely beautiful. It was lovely to have birds nesting close by too that we could watch. It was very quiet and the little hamlet of Bassenthwaite is very pretty.
Food was great: both breakfast and dinner were well up the standard we were expecting. The hotel staff were very responsive to our request for a room change. The location is just fabulous. And the hotel is very quiet.
Absolutely gorgeous old coaching inn in a secluded, peaceful spot in the Lake District. Dog friendly. Loved the old bar and beautiful gardens. The staff, (especially Tom and Sam) were brilliant. Food was delicious!!
location was very good and not too far to Keswick if driving but not if you were disabled as very hilly wild life was very good as we had red squirrels in garden every day
A wonderful place to stay. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The room was extremely spacious, the bathroom a marble. Very clean. Breakfast and dinner were delicious.
It had all of the facilities that you need for a comfortable stay and the location is stunning as you are a stones throw from the Keswick and Bassenthwaite.
