I wanted somewhere peaceful away from tourists and crowds and I got it. I also wanted a place that wasn't as commercialized as most other places in The Lakes, and I got it. I found, to my great delight, something largely unchanged by commercial pressure and time. Sunlit oak floors and furniture and deep plush furnishings that echoed the sounds of birds and hens running free in the sumptuous gardens that tumbled down to the view of the lake. Two old rescue dogs that minded their own business unless engaged, each seemingly unconscious of their great fortune in having been rescued by the owner, Mrs. Lockwood, who is as diligent with her visitors as she is with her beloved canines. A breakfast room that wouldn't look out of place in a period English drama, to complement the rest of the immaculately-maintained ramshackle long house that weaves and curves around entwining stairs, whose delicate scents preserve in some places the woodsmoke tang of generations of family winters around elegant fire grates. The house is unblemished and unencumbered by tasteless tat and modernity; no TV's to annoy other guests, but with quality Wi-Fi that keeps visitors connected, if they must be, in such a space of peace and quiet. It's perfect for combing quiet relaxation with the frenetic pace of Lakeside tourism.

The host was lovely and welcoming. The area was super quiet. And the private drive was available for parking car, keeping car safe. The room was clean, spacious. Walk to nearby lake in less than 10 min. Close to Keswick area. The bed was comfortable (I stayed in twin room).

Wonderful, traditional B&B in a rambling, Tudor-era house; really easy to get to from the main A66. The fire was lit and Karen was feeding the chickens when I arrived. It's that kind of a place, and feels like a family home: come if you hate corporate, soulless uniformity. Beautifully maintained, extensive gardens, including a former tennis lawn. There's a footpath that leads to Bassenthwaite Lake in 10 mins, views of the surrounding hills from the house and garden, and the wonderful Karen who couldn't be kinder or more welcoming. Feeds the soul!

What a fantastic place to stay! Everything about this place was just brilliant: beautiful old house and garden, sitting room for guests with open fire in the evening, great breakfast, a lovely walk down to the lake, easy to find, a short drive from Keswick, comfortable room, great host, felt welcome and at home. If I get the chance, I will be back.
