A two night stay on the way to Scotland.Sue was very welcoming, great location, free off-street parking, room was comfortable and spacious and the shower was fantastic! Breakfast was good, with a good selection - with the added bonus of Sue's daily story. This B&B also has the added bonus of an arrangement with a local hotel whereby you can... More

May Cottage was a fantastic place to stay in the Lakes District and we wouldn't hesitate to return. It was a fabulous location only moments walk away from the little town centre. The rooms were spacious and the bathroom was very modern. Sue and Len were lovely hosts and provided some very useful tips on where to go - we... More

My husband and myself have just come home from our first experience of the Lakes and would definately return to both May Cottage and the Lakes. We had Room 2 which I could not fault.

However, it was far beyond our expectation and turned out to be the best B&B experience we've ever had in the UK. The room we stayed was the top loft -... More

We enjoyed the lake view from our room. The full English breakfast I had there is the best one I've ever had in my life. During the breakfast the... More
