The lodging experience the way it should be

Whereas I have had serious issues with my previous lodging during this trip (Kendal, Windermere), this place is hands down the most wonderful site. Clean. Comfortable. Great breakfast. Accommodating storage needs. Firm and hot shower with new fixtures. Quiet. Great bed and clean sheets. Clean carpet throughout the guest home. Hosts are knowledgable and friendly.

Absolutely perfect! Kevin and Tracey have created such a lovely B&B. The decor, the extra touches like plenty of coffee and tea choices in the room, lovely furnishings, breakfast so lovingly made and Kevin and Tracey are so lovely. They’ve gone the extra mile and have given us the perfect stay. Close to shops and restaurants, transport and lake ferries. We could not have asked for a nicer experience.
