Location was ideal for visiting other places and a beautiful setting especially the sunrise on a good day... comfortable, relaxing house and room, very quiet...hosts Ben and V were very welcoming and nothing was too much if needed anything . breakfast was fab especially the toast...lovely local pub within walking distance The Pheasant inn... great value for money would definitely book again.

Beautiful setting,we had a wonderful view from our window. Breakfast was cooked to order and very tasty. Our host and hostess were very friendly and helpful with advice about the area and lent us an extensive map of the area. There was an issue with the heating, they provided backup heaters and a nice bottle of wine for the inconvenience.

Everything. Food was amazing. When we didn't know what to do, where to go Karen and Tim would give us great advice and would even tell us tips on the best places to park.

Everything was perfect, the ensuite room was lovely, everything you could want. Good parking, and a short walk to the village or a 10 minute drive to Keswick. Emma and her staff were super friendly and they served up a lovely breakfast. Would highly recommend booking here. 10/10 Thanks Emma

It’s excellent and staff is fantastic and food wonderful and very clean and perfectly set up. We really loved the location! Views are beautiful and so peaceful. The small touches are so thoughtful and really enhanced our stay:) The food is just excellent. And loved the homemade shortbread….. !

This was a very comfortable place to stay. We stayed in 6 different locations on a 2 week tour of England and frankly this was the best bed of any place we stayed. The room was so comfortable. Loved our stay in this recently renovated hotel. We hiked in Whinlatter Forest and explored Keswick, The Ruddings was situated perfectly in the middle. The staff were very helpful, food was delicious, and as someone traveling in a car, there was plenty of parking!
