I had a fantastic stay at my landlord's property in the UK. The room was spacious and impeccably clean. Our landlord was incredibly patient and provided us with great assistance, ensuring a wonderful experience during our stay. Overall, it's a great value accommodation, and I'll definitely choose to stay here again when my family visits the UK in the future!

1. Location Ideal base to plan trips around the lakes. Many accessible walks around the property which you can get to by foot, without needing to drive out. The town centre is easily accessible by foot as well. Many great food spots. Surrounding locations (e.g. Windermere, Grasmere, Buttermere etc.) are a reasonable distance away and you could make a day trip out. 2. Rooms Room and bathroom are both pristine - kudos to the staff! The bed mattress was of good quality - essential after long days out hiking. 3. Breakfast I would honestly stay just for the amazing breakfasts prepared by our hosts. Amanda is a nutritionist and the care and effort that goes into her cooking (to name a few: eggs sourced locally, bacon specifically sourced to be prepared without nitrates, sausages made specially by the butcher, homemade granola) truly pays off. We were well-fed and watered, and I think she'd be happy to know that her breakfasts gave us all the fuel we needed until the evening. 4. Hosts Many thanks to our wonderful hosts. Very friendly and accommodating. Gave great recommendations for food and day trips out. Overall: I simply cannot recommend Haven Cottage enough! This is an outstanding B&B, and deserves all the recognition it can get.

    The hotel staff were brilliant. A lovely designed doggy friendly hotel. The bar and restaurant served amazing food and drinks and felt very at home with our dog able to sit with us too. The breakfast choice was also really good! Nice that it wasn't a buffet either. The location is great, a short walk into Ambleside town centre and lots of walks just a few steps away to go on as well!
