Not a bad word to say about this hotel and it's hosts! Great location, clean, and the bed was very comfy (coming from someone who usually struggles to sleep in hotels!) Andrew and Abigail were lovely, welcoming, and had great local knowledge, providing recommendations for local restaurants and walks in the area. They even put up a birthday banner and some prosecco in the room on request!

Nothing at all.

There’s nothing no to like about this BnB. The owners are fantastic and excellent cooks. Everything is so well organised and the rooms are an excellent size and very comfortable. The jacuzzi bath is a real bonus.

The only thing we didn't like was the bed. It felt uncomfortable to us and just a bit too firm. However, mattresses are a completely personal preference, the bedding and the room was absolutely lovely.

Our stay at Ivythwaite Guest House was a lovely experience. Both owners were incredibly welcoming, the accommodation was very clean, the power rain-shower was perfection (complete with the most luxurious locally sourced body lotions and soaps), and the room had all essential amenities required (including cookies). However, what stood out for me were the small details, such as the freshly baked cakes every day that you could take with you after a delicious cooked breakfast, the local walking and attraction information, friendly suggestions from the owners, and the beautiful gardens surrounding the home reminded me of The Secret Garden... Complete with a friendly little cat. A beautiful home, set within a beautiful location, close to many local walks and features. Highly recommend.

There was actually nothing that we didn't like about Ivythwaite Lodge

Ivythwait Lodge is ideally situated between the towns of Windamere & Bowness. Andrew & Abigail are the perfect hosts, very friendly & welcoming & nothing was to much trouble. They are very knowledgeable about the area & gave great suggestions & advise on things to do & places to visit. Ivythwaite Lodge is spotlessly clean, the room is comfortable with good hospitality tray. Extra bonus of a fridge with fresh milk, bottled water. & complimentary cake in the room on arrival. Breakfast was fantastic, good choice and locally produce use. Home baked muffins & bread was a real treat.

Ivythwaite Lodge really is a wonderful placed to stay. We booked the luxury double attic room to stay for 3 nights following our wedding. The room was spacious, and the attention to detail in terms of amenities really helped make the stay as relaxing as possible. From the mini fridge in the room, to the wine glassed provided and arm chairs offering another place to relax in the room. Abigail and Andrew were wonderful hosts; chatty and welcoming, with some very useful knowledge of local walking routes. Breakfast was absolutely wonderful. As a coeliac, it can be nerve wracking staying away somewhere and having them cook for you. However, Abigail put me at ease immediately, letting me know all the measures they have in place to ensure cross contamination is avoided. Home-made gluten free granola and home-made muffins really were wonderful touches (the muffins made the perfect mid-hike snack during our trip). All the cooked breakfast items were delicious, and it really does make a huge difference seeing that produce is home made or locally sourced wherever possible. We definitely wouldn’t hesitate to stay at Ivythwaite again – thanks so much for having us.

Nothing- everything was perfect!

We had the most wonderful stay at Ivythwaite Lodge. The hosts Andrew and Abigail were absolutely fantastic- extremely welcoming and helpful, and cooked a fabulous breakfast! (As well as homemade bread and muffins every morning which was a lovely treat!) Location-wise, this place is perfect! It’s a 8 minute walk into Windermere, and just a 15 minute walk to Bowness and the lakes! The room was lovely and had everything you could need. Throughly recommend staying here and will be staying here again when we next come to visit!
