White Moss House was recommended to us by some Australian friends who stayed there in 2011. We booked last minute from Edinburgh. Quick friendly response from Sue to our email query. Warmly welcomed by Jade who provided a roaring fire, pot of tea and cake on arrival, plus lots of information about local area. Lovely room at the front of... More

We received a warm welcome to this delightful house followed by tea and delicious homemade cakes in the charming sitting room. Our host gave us excellent recommendations for local restaurants and current events, such as fireworks displays. The room was well appointed with very comfortable beds and antique furniture. The breakfast was superb with a good choice such as home... More

Perfect retreat for a weekend in the Lakes and to stay in a house once owned by Wordsworth was an extra bonus. Spent two nights and left feeling we had had a week's break. Spotlessly clean and we both slept better than at home! Staff all attentive and helpful. Guest lounge was luxurious wood-panelled with period features and with a... More

The owner was quite friendly and helpful on arrival, and showed us to our very small room, which was quite cold, despite us turning the radiator and heated towel rail fully on. The decor in the room was quite chintzy, and very dated, although it looked like it was good quality stuff in its day (about 30 years ago). The... More

Thank you for alerting us to a problem with the heating in your room. With a new boiler and radiator thermostats the room should have been cosy and warm. We're very sorry that this was not the case.

We booked two rooms for a weekend in early October. Plus points: nice welcome on arrival with tea in the guest lounge; beds very comfortable, breakfast ok and young waiting staff very good. Location near Grasmere and Ambleside is also very good. Negatives: It is very dated. If you like the 70/80s or are in that age group then this... More

Unfortunately the guest was awoken by an extremely rare occurrence. A power cut in the night automatically triggered the battery backup to activate an emergency light. When we installed this electronic surveillance system the fire officer was delighted, as it will certainly prove its worth in any real emergency, and this is paramount for the health and safety of our...

When we booked a 3-night stay there was only one of the smaller rooms available, but it was a reasonable size. There is also a nice lounge for guests' use. Excellent location between Rydal Water and Grasmere with numerous lovely walks right from the door. Worried about it being not far from the road as I am a light sleeper... More
