Beautiful location and the room itself was really nice and just what we needed. Lots of added extras. Breakfast was a good bonus. Badgers were a delight. Dogs staying free is a great perk. Free parking and the owner let us stay and use it till 3pm which was nice. A very pleasant stay.

Amazing location with Grasmere on your doorstep, beautiful room with views over farmland and the lake. Didn't realise upon booking we'd have access to a sauna which was a lovely surprise - but best of all was watching the badgers on the lawn at dusk right outside our windows - an unforgettable experience! Love how ethically focused the hotel was too! Will definitely be staying here again!

Nature at its best

We had a fantastic stay at Lake View. We didn’t realise that we could walk to the lake edge and spend some time in the sunshine. It was so peaceful and serene. The badger watching was an absolute treat.

Fabulous Views, Great Room

Booked just one night as a last minute getaway. Stayed in the Penthouse which has a large blacony with spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom great. The beams are low at the edges of the room but we are both tall and managed to avoid them :) I would highly recommend this place and will be staying here again in the future.
