We really enjoyed White Moss house with its charming sitting room and great location! It is typical 'lakes money' for the size of the room but I surpose that adds to the cosy b&b charm. Apart from the size of the room we could not really complain about anything; beautiful tea tray, flat screen tv, very compact but usable bathroom,... more

I took over the whole of White Moss House (10 guests) for a long weekend's walking in the Lakes, having read the splendid review of White Moss in the 'Which' Good Food Guide. The house was once owned by Wordsworth, and is in a fantastic position on the shores of Rydal Water, between Grasmere and Ambleside. The ample off road... more

Stayed at White Moss with my husband for three nights at the start of September and absolutely loved it. The owners, Sue and Peter, couldn't have been more helpful and went out of their way to tell us about the local area, give us guidance about the best walks to do and recommend good places to eat. The location is... more

Prompted to write a review of this hotel by some of the poor responses of other reviewers. These could not be further from the truth in our experience. The owner and staff were extremely friendly and helpful giving helpful suggestions for restaurants in the area and free guides for local walks. The breakfasts were fantastic and our room was cosy... more

Afterweeks of looking forward to what we thought looked like a beautiful location to spend our daughter's 1st birthday, the reality was a comnplete disappointment. The bed & breakfast was in desperate need of re-decoration and there was a distinct smell of damp upon entering the property. The most disappointing aspect of the stay, however, was the complete lack of... more

Warm welcome, great car park ( parking can be a problem in Lakes) then picked up free fishing permit, crossed the road to Rydal Water and fishing heaven! Partner picked up free leisure pass, drove 10 minutes to local leisure club for swim and spa- so we were both very relaxed and happy! After a meal out, we sat by... more

We had an excellent family holiday at half term.( special rates for children) Very warm welcome from a Slovakian girl. Nice rooms, very comfortable beds. Excellent breakfasts, ( the fruit plate is a work of art, and the porridge is cooked in the aga overnight!) We loved having the spacious Wordsworth lounge with a log fire to sit in, play... more

White Moss House is at the heart of the Lake District between Rydal and Grasmere. Its central location means that the are many good walks with stupendous views available without moving your car. I organised a “walking weekend” for a group, 14 in all, in September 2008. We took over the whole establishment – five rooms in the main house... more

I agree with the reviewer who had reservations about White Moss House. When we stayed there the front desk was graced cheerfully by a Slovakian girl. The owners were nowhere to be seen, except at breakfast when we were welcomed in a very perfunctory manner by Mrs Dixon. On the second morning she did not even say hello. Her husband... more
