We spent two nights at West Vale Country House, this is our second visit to West Vale. We were welcomed by Glynn and he remembered us, even though it had been about 18 months since we had stayed there. The location, the house, the breakfast, the rooms are all worth the 5 star rating. Anything we requested was ready and... More

During April 2013 we had the pleasure of hiring West Vale exclusively for a full weekend. The occasion was our grandparents joint 90th birthday celebrations and family members were travelling from throughout the UK. As I was organising the venue I was particularly conscious to find something very special and from the feedback this was certainly achieved! Our party included... More

We spent a fantastic weekend at west vale in April. We had a warm welcome and were upgraded to one of the superior rooms (which we'd book again next time) the room was perfect, the bed super comfy and the spectacular scenery of surrounding farmlands was fantastic. Even the bathrooms had been finished and accessorised to a 5*+ plus standard!... More

We stayed at the West Vale Country house for one night in March and could not falter anything. The location, view, beautiful classy house, room, breakfast, hosts, our list could go on! It was just what we were looking for for a nice relaxing night away from hustle and bustle. We spent the afternoon out walking and returned for a... More

We arrived in the early afternoon and were greeted with a superb ploughmans platter in the resident's lounge, with chocolates and sherry etc in the bedroom (some of which are "extras"). The room was very comfortable and well equipped, with toiletries, tea/coffee making facilities etc available. Dee told us about a suitable walk in the locality, which we enjoyed during... More

Very comfortable stay - clean, spacious and beautifully decorated rooms with good service in a lovely old building. The local village is very peaceful with fantastic views of the mountains (covered in snow on my trip!), and close to Lake Windermere. A great place to stay if you're visiting the Lakes, will try to return for a holiday next time!

We stayed for one night only as we travelled around the area, but this was easily the best accommodation that we stayed in. The house was beautiful, luxurious and absolutely immaculate. The view from our room (number 3) was spectacular. The setting was peaceful and relaxing and the owners were extremely friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was delicious, with a... More
