B&B in Cumbria

'Great location & even better staff , stayed in a few hotels around Keswick now this is definitely value for money … '

'Lovely host who clearly knew about hospitality. I loved the fresh milk and the car parking spot which wasn’t easy in this town. Great location '

'The owners, Paul and Kate go out of their way to make you feel welcome and comfortable. I rarely write reviews, but looked forward to sharing about The Ivy House. The room we stayed in was well stocked with fresh water, tea, and hot chocolate. The bed was very comfortable and I have a fussy back. The shower was modern. You can order your breakfast the night before and eat it in an extraordinarily well decorated dining room. A most pleasant stay.'

'Very welcoming reception from the host. We stayed for two nights and had a fantastic cooked breakfast each morning. My wife is coeliac and was well catered for. This B&B is ideally suited for the city centre, has close transport links and also provides on-street parking. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again. '

'A country house that’s actually a country house, not just a modern annex Friendly staff Good food'

'Everything was fantastic'

'Lovely little hotel, everything was great '

'This is a delightful property with a lovely host. It isn’t anything flash but if you’re looking for quaint and original then this is perfect. It is an older house so has the creaky floor boards and matching decor. Bathroom is clean and newer. Slices were provided on arrival and a beautiful English breakfast included the next morning. Was able to go for walk down to the nearby lake and take in the surrounding beauty. Would be a great place to base yourself for exploring the lakes district...

'Mooi Engels huis met hartelijke ontvangst. Goed uitgebreid ontbijt. Ligt in het centrum.'

'This was a really great place to spend the night on my way home. The room and bathroom were lovely. The breakfast in the morning was excellent. Dog friendly. Great location to get on and off the motorway. It was still quite quiet though. '

'Though we encountered some hiccups with the water-heating unit, with help from Mike and his mum it worked out fine. They were very helpful and attentive to my every need, and went above and beyond in their efforts. I am so grateful. '

'Great stay. Lovely room which was quite small but the balcony made up for it. The breakfast was great every day. Location wise is was an easy walk to either Windermere or Bowness. Would recommend.'
