    Everything was perfect. The guesthouse is only a few minutes’ walk from the train station and supermarkets, so it’s handy for getting around the Lake District or travelling to other cities. The room was clean and spacious, and our welcome snacks were topped up every day, which was a lovely touch. Breakfast can be chosen from a varied menu – I highly recommend the English breakfast. I still can’t forget how delicious the toast was! The pancakes are also a wonderful choice. Our host, Catherine, kindly let us check in before 9pm and keep our bags until 5pm after check-out, which made our trip to the Lake District much more convenient and enjoyable.

    Not a fan of pocket sprung mattresses - but that’s just a personal preference as I have a bad back

    Great Location, very central. Freshly prepared breakfast and above all a very kind and accommodating host in Catherine. Highly recommend.We’ll be visiting again!

    Everything was perfect, room super clean, towels changed every day, breakfast was amazing ( especially the English breakfast) and the bedroom was super cozy, very comfy bed, in the centre of the town near lots of restaurants and shops. The area is full of places to visit and very beautiful. We truly enjoyed spend time there and relax. We loved everything, thank you for your hospitality.

    The place was lovely! Very conveniently located --- close to the train station, shops, bus stop, restaurants. Breakfast was sumptuous, and there were several options to choose from. The room was nice and clean with a large window offering a lovely view. The whole place had a very homely feeling. Catherine was very helpful and prompt.

    Catherine was friendly and allowed us a very generous early check in. The room was nicely decorated, spacious and spotless. Separated shower and toilet/vanity areas was highly appreciated. Apart from the excellent location, it was also very peaceful at night. Had a great sleep as the bed was extremely comfortable. Tasty breakfast selection. Great value for money.

    I wish the Vegetarian breakfast had more options.....apart from fruits/ yoghurts a few additional items like cupcakes, fruits could have helped/ satiate. Nevertheless, what was short in tangibles was overcome by the intangibles in terms of hospitality.

    The Location was bang on as was the Hospitality. Its a quintessential nice bungalow well made out and transported you to probably times a couple of decades ago. We were quite happy with the overall property and the courtesies extended.
