Lock in a great price for Crow How Country Guest House - rated 9.5 by recent guests.

to get started.

Breakfast both days was beautiful. The hotel itself is in a fantastic location with lovely surrounding views. Room clean and comfortable which is all you can ask for.

Emma, United Kingdom

Great location with ample parking. Room was lovely, clean & comfortable. Breakfast was really good, lots to choose from. Drying room was so useful for drying our walking gear. Short walk into Ambleside, great pubs & restaurants.

Jon, United Kingdom

Central location. Great rooms and friendly service

Nigel, United Kingdom

Super clean. Large comfy bed. Facilities for tea/coffee and a wee fridge and lovely window seating area in the room. Amazing breakfast!!! Relaxing drawing room and essential drying room present. Beautiful country location, yet only 10min walk to Ambleside. Just perfect base to explore the fells.

Martsje, United Kingdom

Perfect combination of classic flair and modern equipment

Peter, Germany

Immaculately clean and excellent decoration throughout.. Good location, walkable from Ambleside. Tastey breakfast with good selection. Good parking. Beautiful historic building. A real treat. Can't wait to return.

Michael, United Kingdom

Great location to walk in the hills, woodland and lakes straight from the doorstep.

Jennifer, United Kingdom

A great all round experience. We were made very welcome on arrival. The room was very comfortable and spacious and breakfast was excellent !

Kevin, United Kingdom

The quality of food and cleanliness were second to none. Perfect setting and very friendly staff. A real find. There are quite a lot of walks to do from here without having to take the car which is a bonus.

Ron, United Kingdom

Lovely large bedroom with antique furniture and the most amazing view. So beautifully quiet and relaxing. After a long days trek the spa bath in the very modern bathroom was a real treat and we made the most of it. The staff were really helpful and genuinely interested in how our days had gone. The gardens are really exciting with lots of little areas of surprise - you need to go to see the views. Breakfast was superb and the Egg Hemingway was my favourite. Perfection!

A phone in the room would have been helpful. We had the other premier room (not the four poster bedroom), and every time you open the bedroom door to go to the bathroom the lights come outside the door which are very bright and flood the bedroom. It's a bit too much in the middle of the night. A dimmer light would suffice.
The views from the guest house are beautiful. Very tranquil setting. The room and bathroom were very spacious and so comfortable. The breakfast is also delicious, gorgeous fresh fruit, cereals or bacon eggs etc..whatever you want... this was our second visit and am sure we will return again.
