I had a nice two-night stay with a comfortable room equipped with modern amenities. The breakfast was a highlight, offering a hearty menu that set me up well for the day. I did notice the bathroom was quite small, and the Wi-Fi connection was inconsistent at times, which could be improved.

Cut to the chase, here’s my take

A fantastic getaway! Spacious double room, private parking, and just a five-minute walk to the center. Breakfast is a delight, featuring quality ingredients in a charming setting. The hosts were incredibly friendly and offered great local insights. Truly hard to beat this place for a memorable visit.

Couple great spot for getaway

The hosts were extremely welcoming and offered great tips about the local hikes. The breakfast was a highlight, top quality food beautifully presented and just what you need to start the day right.

It wasn’t exactly low-priced but it was still acceptable considering the experience.

Private parking availability, close distance to town center, clean guest amenities

Small sizes of rooms can feel cramped on longer stays!!! Weak shower water pressure makes for a less than satisfying bathing experience!!! Wi-Fi connectivity issues could be frustrating for those needing reliable internet access!!!

Solo traveler’s perfect hideaway

The breakfast is amazing! They use quality ingredients and it’s a great start to the day. The owners were super friendly, they even dried my wet clothes after a day of hiking!

It wasn't the cheapest stay, but it was still a worthwhile experience.

Had a great time with friends! We loved the clean, comfortable rooms and the fresh breakfast. The location made it easy for us to walk into town and the free parking was a plus. We enjoyed sailing and kayaking at Derwentwater Marina, and the owners were super helpful with tips and local advice.

Had a minor issue when checking in. the owners were a bit unapproachable, but it didn’t ruin our stay.
