This is a wonderful B&B in a stunning location, run by people who really care. Tine made us feel welcome from the start (even though I managed to get mud on the beautiful cream carpet within about 5 minutes - cringe!) and nothing was too much trouble, whether it was advice on where to walk on a rainy day or...

We will surely go back to this wonderful B&B someday. It was excellent in every way - Spacious, comfortable rooms with the most amazing furniture made from old boats and shipped from Africa, interesting decor, clean rooms, comfortable beds, etc. The breakfast with lots of homemade breads, granola, fruits, and many choices for cooked meals was wonderful. We enjoyed talking... More

The atmosphere was lovely, the location stunning, the room most cozy, the food delicious, the tips and maps I got invaluable. The walks were brilliant, and just what I longed for. And had the weather been worse, I would have had another cup of tea in my room, in the armchair in the window upstairs, and be happy too. It... More

Lowthwaite and its lovely owners, Tine and Jim (and their daughters) made our (second) stay a wonderful break. Great room with a large sitting area, fantastic breakfasts, all homemade, and an excellent dinner with Vegetarian options. The house, on may levels, is situated in a valley about 5 miles from Ullswater and 2 miles from the A66 but stands alone,... More

This is a superb place to stay. We stayed for 2 nights in early may. My son and daughter in law booked on line in Singapore as they were coming over for a few weeks. They were highly impressed and I expect that they may put a review on here themselves. . Comfortable rooms which are warm , cosy and... More

We stayed in the Blencathra room which has a lovely view outside the window and you can feel that every part of the room has been well thought out, as if the owners want you to feel at home as much as possible. From the comfortable beds, to the choice of tea and coffee, to the carefully curated area guides... More
