4* Star Hotels in Cumbria

Well, what can I say that haven't been said about Lane Head Farm? Suzette and Dave are a delightful hosts who look after each guest as a member of the family. From a welcome and friendly reception, to caring for every need of the guests and giving space at the same time. The rooms are clean, comfortable and warm, the SHOWER… woww to have this fabulous stream of hot water when you return wet and cold… fabulous. They take your wet gear to dry, ready for the the morning after.

Wow. What an amazing place The hosts Suzette and Dave are 1st class and so friendly. They go out of their way to make sure you have what you need and offer advice on where to go and what to do. The breakfast is the best ever Husband had vegetarian sausage and he said they were amazing as was the meat ones I had. Breakfast is 1st class. Dave is definitely King of the Poached egg. The farmhouse is so lovely. Rooms are clean and warm with everything you need with a few added extras.

Just got back for a brill weekend, Jim and Monique where great hosts. There breakfast were amazing and they have great knowledge of the area. Highly recommend this guess house x.

What a great find! Warm welcome from Monique. We shall stay there again, lovely owners, really clean room and pretty decor. Felt very safe and clean, definitely well looked after. Delighted with the breakfast, better than many hotels. Ideal location, central to the centre. Thanks very much.

Me and my husband have just enjoyed a night away for our wedding anniversary at The Dunes hotel. All the staff was friendly and welcoming. Our room was really nice and I loved the furniture! Located in a nice, quiet area too which was bliss x.

We had our wedding here on 27.05.2023 and what a wonderful day it was. Gary and the team were amazing, everything ran smoothly, the food, wine and service was impeccable. Every member of staff was polite and pleasent and welcomed all the guests. The room we had our reception in was beautiful and the grounds were lovely and spruced, the fab weather just made it even better.

Had great meals Easter bank holiday Sunday and Monday, great atmosphere and views, super helpful and friendly staff, delicious food, thank you to all, happy Easter from John and Lesley X.

We had lunch it was all fresh and delicious and lovely apple crumble for dessert. Great staff and lovely surroundings.

Gina and Graham are the nicest people you could meet, they go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and always happy to help you with guidance round the Lake District. We used to stay somewhere else but now we have a new favourite place to stay. The rooms are so homely, so very clean and the breakfast is amazing. I can not recommend a better place to stay.

Very friendly hosts excellent food brilliant service comfortable rooms would definitely recommend and most certainly will stay again xx.

It's a lovely guest house breakfast lovely friendly people sue and Gary were very welcoming and looking forward to staying there again.

Would like to say a huge thank you to Sue and Gary for making us so welcome at Laurel Bank — we had a perfect stay with friends — amazing delicious breakfast and great hospitality all made extra special with their local knowledge. We will definitely visit this beautiful area again soon — Laurel Bank is perfectly situated for walking into Keswick and some amazing walks without having to use the car which could be left safely on the Guest House car park 👍👍

Fantastic Sunday Lunch — Great friendly service 👏👏👏

Staff were friendly and gave a "your at home feeling. " Food was brilliant. Ideal if you are disabled or have a family member who is in a wheelchair or a bigger powered chair, lots of room and a good size disabled toilet. Definitely would recommend and will be going back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just dropped in with our 1 & 2 year old, great food & brilliant service, we might not of found snow but we found a new place to eat on way to the Lake District, 5/5 💙🙌🏻

Nice bar and restaurant. Room was tidy. Breakfast excellent Please expand your wine list menu and ensure you can deliver what's on the food menu. Visited on the 15th Sept and 4 of the menu meals were not available. Despite that, would come again. Recommended.

Loved the beautiful converted barn apartments, which were nicely furnished, immaculately clean and very comfortable. The railway station is literally on the doorstep with regular trains running up and down the coast. Close by is the stunning beach at St. Bees, with fabulous walks to nearby places including the pretty harbour at Whitehaven. A great place to stay with our dogs. We will definitely be back!

What a lovely place, friendly owners and beautiful room and the breakfast was more then ample, 5 stars and we would definitely stay again. Thank you.

Very good food & friendly staff well worth the visit.

Highly recommend this place for food. Very well cooked meal, hot when arrived at table with not too long of a wait. Very friendly staff. Meal was delicious, not the cheapest but def worth every penny. Steak & Ale pie and Lemon Posset very very yummy. Thank you George & Dragon.

Great place to be away from it all. Pubs only yards away for food and a pint. We never got back in the car all the time we were there. Took a pack up and walked every day.

Spotlessly clean cottage. It was perfect for a week in the mountains with friends. Hosts were very responsive to questions. We appreciated the excellent laundry facilities and loved the large yard overlooking the beck — a perfect place to enjoy the late afternoon sun after a day on the fells. There is even a sunken area near the stream where you can soak your tired feet in the cold water.

My husband and I stayed at the Ivythwaite Lodge Guest House for two nights in October 2021. We couldn’t fault it and will definitely stay again if we’re in the Lakes.

Fantastic hosts great accommodation and excellent location.

Very relaxing! Didn’t have any treatments as I booked a solo stay last minute! But the spa facilities were great! Will definitely be going back! As for the hotel, comfortable stay. Great service and lovely food. I had an evening meal and continental breakfast. Both great. Views from the hotel are amazing!

We have just returned from a two night break staying in The Windermere Suite. Beautiful decor, comfortable large bed. Living space stunning and the fabulous bonus was the private sunken hotub on the private decking, screened off by a glass wall. Fabulous over looking lake Windermere. We ate in the resteraunt and the staff were so polite and accommodating. Food was delicious, we booked a full body massage fabulous the girls were very professional and lovely. Five stars 🌟 from my husband and I.

Wonderful setting, great value Christmas luncheon and entertainment, super friendly staff.

A lovely festive afternoon. Delicious food, great staff, fantastic entertainment in such a beautiful setting.
