Our dilemma in giving Randy Pike a 5* glowing report means running the risk that we won't be able to get a room the next time we visit the Lakes. Andy & Chrissy are fabulous hosts who couldn't do enough for you. The accommodation is stunning and Eva our 'maid' was a real gem. We had a great weekend here,... More

Stayed at Randy Pike for three nights to enjoy a brief stay in the Lakes District. The Vallelay Suite was everything we could have hoped for in luxury and spaciousness. The hosts were gorgeous - friendly and helpful - making our stay very memorable! The breakfast choices were amazing - best we've ever had... Loved the Luxembourg sized bathroom with... More

We hadn't forgotten how amazing our stay last time was at Randy Pike, but we were blown away yet again. This time we stayed in the Dawson Suite for 2 nights and the only problem was it wasn't long enough! Andy, Chrissy and Ewa are fantastic hosts, there is simply nothing which is too much trouble for them and they... More

Just back from a first night at Randy Pike (taking advantage of our daughter being away with school for a few days!) with high expectations met in full. From Chrissy's lovely welcome as soon as we pulled up to the friendly departure next morning, everything was perfect. The muffins (on arrival AND for breakfast!) and the granola trifle are to...

We have just returned from a 2 night stay in the Dawson Suite and I cannot put into words a review to do the Randy Pike justice. We have stayed in many beautiful hotels in the Lake District over the last 5 years but the Randy Pike tops the lot. The rooms was luxorious, beautiful and furnished to the highest... More

We chose the Randy Pike for my husband's 60th birthday treat and I'm sure we couldn't have made a better decision. This B&B exceeds all expectations, from the fabulously comfortable enormous bed to my favourite Susie Watson china, the rooms are decorated and furnished with breathtaking style. We didn't get to meet the owners who were having their own holiday... More

What a wonderful place. You won't regret booking this little gem. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners. We had a walk to the nearby Drunken Duck pub and Andy (one of the owners) gave us a lift back in his Land Rover. The snow was about 4 feet deep. Our Evoque would have only just made it through....

I had booked the Martindale Suite for three nights over New Years, and despite having seen the photos on the website lots of times in the run-up to the break, I was absolutely delighted by the beautiful design of Randy Pike! Every little thing is thought off, from the selection of drinks in the room, the choice of relaxing music... More

We booked here following a recommendation from a good friend. When I rang up to book our honeymoon Chrissy recommended the Dawson Suite and we were not disappointed! We arrived and instantly became speechless at how beautiful our room was. We spent the rest of the afternoon and the following day relaxing in our room and opening our Wedding cards... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Randy Pike is our home on the outskirts of Ambleside in the heart of the English Lake District. Once a Gentleman’s Hunting lodge on the Wray castle Estate we have just recently returned it to its former glory... Randy Pike is Lakeland's sexiest new bed and breakfast, and yet B and B is it truly in its very simplest form, the suites are large and luxurious that have kept the character and feeling of that iconic neo-gothic era and yet marry perfectly with the all the modern facilities you'd expect with Vi-sprung beds, cloaked in the very best frette line and plump crisp pillows, there's a flat screen tv, i-pod dock, tea and fresh coffee. The Showers are the size of a small country, warm, funky and sexy... there's truly nothing out there like them. Andy and Chrissy Hill ... more   less
