    Great location (just off A66), opposite Bassenthwaite Lake. Very well kept with lovely outdoor area. Room was very comfortable with all the amenities you need with a lovely view of the meadow. Breakfast was perfectly cooked with a wide range of options available (order online the day before). Hosts Karen & Tim were lovely; not obtrusive but there is you needed anything. Great value for money and would highly recommend.

    Great B&B in a nice quiet location overlooking Bassenthwaite Lake. Breakfast was amazing (Full English). Rooms were comfy and a nice set up. Hosts were great, including little Rocky the German Shepherd puppy who made the odd appearance. Great location as a base for many places to explore the Lakes

    We had a fantastic time at Lakeside in August to attend a wedding. The location & views from the Guesthouse were superb. Tim & Karen are truly great hosts, very friendly, helpful & nothing is too much trouble. Amazing breakfast each morning. Wish we had stayed longer, would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great place to stay in the Lakes.
