Arriving after the deluge of November 2009, we were welcomed like old friends. 3 days of pouring rain meant returning in the evenings soaking wet but by morning, we were toasty dry and ready to go again. Free access to the fitness centre and swimming pool at Langdale is a bonus and very welcome but the floods made the journey... more

Summerhill is a fantastic place to stay. We could not have been made more welcome by our hosts: the lovely homemade cake on arrival was a real treat. Mike, Patsy, Zoe and Rob did everything to ensure our stay was perfect, from scanning a map and helping reccommend walks to cooking us exactly what we wanted for breakfast. We loved... more

Not much to add to all the other excellent reviews except to say that our hosts were more than willing to lend us waterproofs when our own were staturated so we could go for our last lovley walk in the Lakes. Such generosity is rare. Thank you so much for making our visit so pleasurable. more

At a time when big hotels are cutting back on even the basics, Summer Hill have lots of little extras which add up to feelings of being spoiled- from the welcoming tea and cakes on arrival, to the chocolate on the bedside table - and oh what joy! - no nasty little plastic tubs of UHT on the tea tray.... more

Upon arrival at Summer Hill, I was immediately made to feel at home. My room was cosy, clean and beautifully thought out. The hosts were extremely friendly and approachable. It was like home from home, with Sky tv channels, internet access and a library of films and music, I couldn't have asked for more. Having fresh milk in the room... more

We were made to feel very welcome as soon as we entered Summer Hill - the hosts made us feel quite at home. We stayed three nights and found the house very comfortable. The breakfasts were excellent (set you up for the day) and the rooms were cosy. We liked the attention to detail shown in every respect even down... more

We found the hosts at this B&B to be welcoming and so accommodating - our every need was catered for in style including those of the baby in our party! The rooms were extremely comfortable with beautiful decor and great amenities. The setting of Summer Hill is fantastic, with many walks and sightseeing opportunities on their doorstep. The food was... more

Summer Hill Country House is a lovely country gem set in the hills of the Lake District. We booked late and unfortunately could not be accommodated in the room of our choice. The room we were allocated was small but was adequately equipped, warm, comfortable and had lovely views across the surrounding countryside from both the bedroom and bathroom. The... more

Fabulous!

We had the most amazing weekend. Lovely friendly hosts, great breakfast, superb rooms, lovely jacuzzi bath (just what was needed after a hard day's walking!) and all the little extra touches made our stay that more special. Thanks you. more
