This is our third time at this hotel over a period of about 16 years. In that time, it remains as quintessentially Lakeland as the first time we visited. The accommodation, facilities, staff,food and tranquility have not lessened in any way and it’s always a pleasure to visit and spend time here.

United KingdomLovely old building and the room size was fantastic. Loved having a small sofa and TV incase you wanted to watch some TV when you go back. Shower was very very good and plenty of piping hot water. Breakfast selection was spot on and the Eggs florentine was on rod the best I have had.

United KingdomFound this property on Booking.com; what a find. Fantastic location, walking distance from Ambleside and Waterhead. Excellent choice for the not too serious walkers
Raymond
United Kingdom
United KingdomQuiet and peaceful throughout this establishment. Its about 1 mile walk to Ambleside but the views are worth it. We last visited Crow House in 2011 under previous owners and nothing had changed. This is why this charming secluded house is like a magnet you are simply drawn to it. The only reason why it’s taken so long to visit is that it’s always booked up! The hearty Cumbrian breakfast, with options sets you up for the day. Our room overlooked the garden and great views of the hills. The owners are delightful as are the staff as nothing is too much trouble. Go on and indulge you deserve it!

United KingdomGorgeous location. Peaceful. Tranquil area just outside town easily within walking distance. Beautiful old building very nicely and sympathetically renovated in keeping with the age of the house. Totally unspoiled.
Carmel

United KingdomThe room had excellent views of the mountains, the service was great and the breakfast was good! Can really recommend this location to stay at as has some nice walks near it towards Ambleside, Rydal Mount and Grasmere.
