Simply one of the best places to stay in an unspoilt area of the lakeland fringe. Hosts could not have been more helpful and welcoming. Food perfect, spotless and fresh and a building you would just love to own.
We recently spent a weekend at the Bolton Gate rectory to celebrate my mother and sisters birthdays. It was the perfect choice for us - gorgeous old house, beautifully decorated and maintained. The bedrooms were really lovely and extremely comfortable with huge beds and comfortable mattresses. The owners have paid enormous attention to detail and should you have forgotten anything...

It was my 50th Birthday yesterday and my closest friends and dearest family had a wonderful lunch at the Rectory. While not something they normally do ( that is providing lunch parties) David, Gill and not forgetting Betty provided excellent hospitality and the most delicious meal in relaxing beautiful surroundings.... I cannot recommend the place enough. While we did not...

Wow what an amazing review! We are starting to wonder if it's really about us! We are really glad that you thought so highly of the food. We use a lot of local artisan food producers and try to let the ingredients speak for themselves so feel that we have to share any credit with our suppliers for making such...

What a wonderful afternoon we had today. I gather lunches are not the norm at the Old Rectory and this was a one-off - but how wonderful it was. The location, building, ambiance and hosts were all incredible; relaxing and welcoming just doesn't sum it up. The food, on the other hand, was beyond words - "beautiful" "exemplary" and "delicious"...

Kind regards

I stayed at Boltongate last week with my family and we had the most fabulous time. If you are looking for a quintessential country home filled with hearty breakfasts and restaurant quality suppers this is the place. Gill and David were very welcoming and made us feel at home. It is the perfect place to go to enjoy The Lake...

Thank you so much for writing such a lovely comment. We feel that Boltongate Old Rectory is the perfect venue for groups such as yours where one family effectively takes over the whole house with David and I on hand to deliver tea and cakes, breakfast and dinner at appropriate times!
It was also wonderful to hear so much laughter-...

My partner and I travelled from London to Boltongate to spend my birthday weekend, in October 2011. From start to finish, the experience was faultless - by far the best weekend trip I have ever taken. Gill and David could not do enough to ensure we were comfortable, happy, taken care of. The house has been furnished to an exceptional...

This has got to be one of the best B+B's in the UK. The rooms are wonderful with exceptionally comfortable beds, beautiful bed linens and calm, stylish decor. David and Gill are the perfect hosts and have taken time and trouble to think about every detail of their offering. Breakfast is a delightful affair with amazing local produce and an...

We're glad you found the bed comfy as we have recently invested in some hand made Harrison mattresses which we think are fabulous, so good to have some positive feedback.

The most beautiful house in the lakes!! What a hidden gem!! Tucked away in absolute tranquility but close enough to
Access Keswick. The hospitality was faultless and we were made to feel incredibly welcome. Every little attention to detail makes this stay that little bit more special. We arrived to fresh lillies in our room and a tray with tea...
