    The place was spotlessly clean. It is a guesthouse with a hotel quality. The owners pay attention to the details. Ken and Cindy were a super host. They were very helpful with the travel plan in the Lake District area. The breakfast was super yummy...

    The breakfasts were great. The location was fine - half way between WIndemere and Bowness - close enough to walk to either as long as one doesn't have a problem with the steep road.
