The location is great and Corine and Kate are exceptional hosts. The bonus was the red squirrels and roe deer in the garden.

The conservatory is a great location for breakfast but the experience could be enhanced if the fuschia was trimmed so you can see the birds and squirrels on the feeders.

Lovely location. The Red Squirrels and other wildlife. Corrine and Kate were very friendly and attentive. The superb breakfast and flapjacks!

Nothing to dislike!

Everything was great! The guest house is cosy and in a great location in the Lakes. The room has great views and like everyone else, we enjoyed a very generous breakfast in the conservatory watching the birds and squirrels. Very friendly place, and would definitely return in the spring or summer.

The breakfast was extensive and hearty. Nothing beats having a good breakfast whilst being able to watch red squirrels munch on hazelnuts and see a fantastic array of British garden birds. A real treat!

Forest How was a joy. Peaceful, comfortable, warm, clean, the grounds and surrounding area were perfect. Breakfast was outstanding and packed lunches were provided on request at a cost of course, as we were walking all day it really was a bonus to have a lunch provided to save us looking for food out. Lunches were spot on and packaged in recyclable packaging.

If I was being super critical the TV in our room was a little small and there were some cobwebs in our room on arrival which could have been dusted away.

We had a great stay at Forest How. The location was ideally suited for walking Scafell Pike. The owners were super friendly and we really appreciated their understanding of the traffic which meant we arrived late. They were also very friendly with our dog. Breakfast was lovely and it's wonderful watching the wildlife in the garden while you eat in the conservatory. The view from our room was also excellent.

The thorns down the last small road to get to Forest How could have been clipped back a bit as my car doors aren’t the same since!

Breakfast in abundance, cleanliness impeccable and polite and friendly owners.
