Dan, United Kingdom

I loved the oldy worldy feel to it and the lovely dining/ bar area as it was spacious and comfortable. The staff were so friendly especially one of the managers and bar staff were great. If your a dog lover you would be in heaven! Dogs everywhere. The breakfast was fantastic coffee there at the ready and there's so much to choose from. Fantastic time away would recconded to anyone!

Chloe, United Kingdom

The Cuckoo Brow Inn is ideally situated for traveling around the Lake district. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was good with a wide choice of cooked options but slightly restricted on the cold options. The bedroom was large, clean and the beds were very comfortable.

Melanie, United Kingdom

Beautiful location - very peaceful. The hotel has lots of character - rustic country style is authentic and charming. Breakfast was excellent. All produce top quality. Nice choice of bread, cereals, fruit and jams. Cooked breakfast plenty of choice. Coffee was good quality. Staff were lovely. Really helpful. Thanks to all!

Margaret, United Kingdom

Because it's a pet friendly place, so the carpets could be cleaned a bit more throughly each time! My little girl has allergies. So she really suffered each night during stay.

The hotel was very clean and in a perfect location for our needs. Every member of staff that we came across were so accommodating and friendly. They couldn't do enough for us.

This traditional Lake District inn is set in the quiet village of Far Sawrey. Just 1 miles from Lake Windemere, and surrounded by wildlife and countryside that inspired Beatrix Potter on nearby Hill Top Farm, this hotel offers cosy, refurbished accommodation, hearty food, local ales, and open fires.

The bright and refurbished rooms all boast a modern bathroom with a power shower and a deep bath. Guests can relax with a flat-screen TV and a comfortable super king-size bed.

Breakfast is included in your stay; the Inn offers a buffet of cereals, juices and yoghurts followed by a cooked breakfast of your choice, ranging from a full hearty Cumbrian breakfast or a lighter smoked haddock with poached eggs.

Seasonal, locally sourced food is freshly-cooked and served with locally brewed ales, all in front of a real fire.

The beautiful countryside of the Lake District is on the hotel doorstep, with guests, their families and pets all able to enjoy walking and cycling through the area.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.2 for a two-person trip.

An Inside Look at The Cuckoo Brow Inn

Our little Inn is nestled in the heart of the beautiful rolling hills of the South Lake District. We are in the village where Beatrix Potter spent many years drawing her famous characters and scenes. We are a relaxed Inn, serving our guests the highest quality of food, drink and accommodation but with the emphasis on making yourself at home. Just a short walk to shores of Lake Windermere but away from all the hustle and bustle of the main tourist traps. We are unique and care passionately about our Inn,

What Travelers Love About This Location

“Some places say they are dog and child friendly but the reality is they are dog and child tolerant at most. But the Cuckoo couldn't be more dog and child if they tried. Very enjoyable trip. Great room, service and food.”

“Clean, comfortable and friendly.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Standard Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉Our room was situated above the kitchens and on our first night, and one a few days later, there was a very loud noise from about 9.30pm until just before midnight. On contacting reception we were informed that the only explanation for this sound was the kitchen porter cleaning the dishes and mopping the floor. Also bedrooms do not come with a toilet brush as ' they like to clean the toilet for you' which is ok but if you are sharing a room with a friend/partner, you probably might like the opportunity yourself to use the brush if needed as the toilet may be used by your friend after you before the staff have had the opportunity to clean!
눇The Cuckoo Brow Inn is ideally situated for traveling around the Lake district. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was good with a wide choice of cooked options but slightly restricted on the cold options. The bedroom was large, clean and the beds were very comfortable.

눉We didn't like the Location of this place. Not for a family with a big car. We relying on ferry (which costs £4.40 one way) or long drives on the narrow country road to the attractions.
눇Because it's a pet friendly place, so the carpets could be cleaned a bit more throughly each time! My little girl has allergies. So she really suffered each night during stay.

“Very disappointed”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Superior King Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉We booked a superior room with a seating area - only to find that the bed took up all the room and there was no seating area. The bathroom was huge with a roll top bath and rain shower above, which meant water went everywhere - would have been better to have had a separate walk in shower. No plug points in the room except one behind a large chest of drawers which made it difficult to access. Clean on arrival but cleaning in between a bit slapdash. Forgot to replenish milk. Right on a road so traffic noise. Disappointed.
