Ideal location for what we wanted

There was nothing to not like.

The owners couldn't have been nicer and the food was excellent and everything had been made modern in a very old building. It was a quaint old Inn and full of personality.

Nice clean room. Friendly staff, good breakfast, and had excellent evening meal. For me personally, who has to eat gluten-free, had plenty of options on the menu, and was well catered for. Personally, loved the quiet location, with nice walks nearby.

The water didn’t come out very well on the bath, but the shower was powerful. Also the mirror in the bathroom got extremely hot?

Wonderful location, just 6 min drive to the ferry crossing to Windermere. Room was a good size and very well presented. Lovely breakfast and friendly staff.

There was absolutely nothing we disliked. The only comment we would make is that we found the evening meal menu a bit 'Pubish'and somewhat limited. We would have expected at least one item of Lamb on the menu after all we were in Cumbria and the hills were smothered in sheep and lambs! We must say we have not tasted better Sirloin steak for many a year than the steak we had on the Thursday evening. Absolutely mouth watering!. We ate in all four nights of our stay and the meals provided were perfectly cooked and presented; we just wish there had been more choice.

Our room was ready for us on arrival and we found it absolutely spotless, lovely bathroom and comfy beds. Unfortunately no view. Our evening meal was perfect and with a table alongside a window we were very happy. We had booked a five day stay, four nights, and the breakfasts were just what we wanted. Plenty of choice and freshly cooked. Perfect! This is a family run Inn and all were so eager to please. Genuinely happy to help; nothing was too much trouble. For the price of our stay the whole experience was lovely and we would highly recommend. Location wise, spot on. quiet location with very little passing traffic. Also less than two mile from the car ferry to Bowness which cut out the busy trip round the north end of the lake through Windermere, Ambleside and Bowness. A gift at £6.60.

We can’t speak highly enough about all aspects of our staff. Simply fabulous place, location and staff.

It would have been nice to have some "specials" on the evening menu for some variety as we had stayed for a week.

Lovely quiet place to stay with generous meal portions and a nice selection of real ales on tap. Our queen size bed was very comfortable.

Nothing, it was such a great experience for our first time in the Lake District.

The family that runs it are incredible and go out of their way to make sure everything is perfect for you. From your room to your food, they aim to please. The breakfast and dinner options were filling and delicious. Great ways to start and end a day hiking or exploring. The location is away from the busier areas like Ambleside and Windmere, so sleeping with open windows was very peaceful and almost no traffic.

I can honestly not think of a single thing we didn't like.

Firstly, the welcome we received when we arrived, was really warm and friendly from this family run Inn. We requested a ground floor room for my Mum who finds stairs difficult - this was no problem. The rooms were super clean and well lit (which makes a change from most hotel rooms!) Good quality tea and coffee. The bar / restaurant area is lovely - Olde Worlde feel. There is also an outdoor area with tables and benches. We ate there in the evening - good, reasonably priced menu and all cooked perfectly. The service was amazing, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast the following morning was also excellent - cooked freshly to order. I would thoroughly recommend a stay at this lovely, country Inn, not least for the amazing, friendly hosts.
