Hill walks from door. Need car as quite isolated - nearest shop 6 miles away. Good pub over road for food as none available in hotel. Poor internet signal. Very comfortable bed, peaceful, lovely grounds and lake. Enjoyed visits to Buttermere, Derwent, Coniston and also Ruskin's House and Dove Cottage. Need to take all basics - tea/coffee/salt etc.

Location was superb. Very peaceful. Knowledgeable and hospitable owner. Heating worked well (contrary to previous reviews). Amenities all good and working well. Very nice bathroom. Some plates and bowls were found dirty and needed rewashing. Despite this, we were VERY happy with our stay and absolutely would recommend this location to anyone looking for a reasonably priced, wonderfully serene retreat on the lake.
