What our guests say

We cannot speak more highly of this fabulous country house hotel. We were there to celebrate our 44th wedding anniversary and it certainly did not disappoint! Our lovely hosts Gary and Donna cannot do enough for their guests and made us feel very special from the moment we arrived. All the rooms are beautifully appointed, immaculately and tastefully furnished. We enjoyed an amazing dinner experience commencing with canapes served in the lounge at 7pm and it just got better and better! There are some fabulous walks from the hotel so you need not move the car. We were very sorry to leave but my waistline needed to recover! Needless to say we have rebooked for July!!

We have just returned from a perfect seven night break here. Gary and Donna are prefect hosts, going the extra mile to make you comfortable. The room was well appointed with stunning views over the fells. The evening dinner was exceptional, some of the best food we’ve had in a hotel and we’ve travelled extensively. The wine list was wide and catered for all tastes. This was our first visit but certainly not our last, next years treat is already booked.

Just can’t say enough good things about this amazing hotel. Clean comfortable and beautiful hotel with a lovely friendly atmosphere very welcoming but it’s the food that sets it apart. Absolutely stunning.

I’m often on travelling across Europe for business or relaxing. But here I´m still sharing the opinion, normally you should be quiet, to keep this juwel and come back again to get an amazing stay in a hotel with amazing good persons and a pretty nice location, and very very good food. But it would be pity not to say thanks to Gary, Donna , the team and praise them. it is an amazing sweet house, very clean, sweet interiour, lovely and attentive people at the hotel team, and amazing good cook and kitchen. We loved to stay there and hope we will get any time again a slot when we can again book a room.

What an amazing place, and what a fantastic boutique hotel. The owners have a splendid victorian house here, which they have renovated and are maintaining with a perfect sense of detail. Maybe the best hotel I have ever stayed at in the UK, especially since I attach so much importance to location, natural surroundings, quietness. a gem. congratulations and thanks to Donna, Gary and family.

We returned for the 6th time; this time to celebrate a major birthday. It was fantastic as always. Gary and Donna are great hosts and Darren, the chef, produced superb food. We even had sunshine every day giving us brilliant views from the summits.
We will return! Thank you
