For us, the location was great as our friend lived in Keswick. It was about 20 minutes by car from Carlisle, in a beautiful wooded setting. The owner, Judith, was WONDERFUL!. She was so accommodating in letting our friend, Alec have breakfast with us. She always greeted us when we returned to her home and was truly interested in our day's adventure.

Judith is an excellent host. The surrounding scenery is stunning

We loved our hostess who took excellent care of us and is an outstanding cook. We loved the view across rolling pastures divided by stone walls toward the northern fells of the Lake District. We found the bed and arm chairs in our room exceptionally comfortable. We loved the house, a former vicarage, and its interesting history.

My son and I had a lovely stay at the Woodlands Country House and were met with a pot of tea and Beautiful lemon drizzle cake upon arrival. The beds were comfortable and the room was a good size with en-suite and tea facilities including fresh milk and short bread biscuits. Full English breakfast was served both mornings which was very nice. The house is in a lovely countryside location next to a church, with a local pub (Black Lion) a few minutes walk away that does nice pub food. There is also another pub in the next village (25 min walk) called the Snooty Fox where we had an amazing meal (gourmet burger) that we both loved. Overall we would highly recommend the Woodlands Country House which is in a lovely, peaceful location, with very friendly staff.

Location delightful, breakfast wonderful, scenery amazing. Wonderful and friendly owner and staff who couldn't be nicer or more helpful. These people made us all feel special as if we were treasured friends up for a visit. Only 7 minutes walk from the local pub and about 20 minutes drive to the delightful town of Keswick, the Woodlands is ideally located for a quiet and delightful base to explore the North part of the Lake District. Woodlands is a converted Victorian Vicarage (I think) and it's "Olde Worlde" charm and peaceful surroundings allow you to really feel as if you have "got away from it all!" (Not completely though, as my son was still able to pursue his "Pokemon Go" interest!) We hope someday to return. Thoroughly recommended.

Judith who runs the Woodlands is such a lovely lady, she honestly can't do enough for you. The family room we were in was spacious as was the bathroom. Judith would leave shortbread in with the tea & coffee each day in the room. Great choice on the breakfast menu.

The hostess Judith was wonderful and very welcoming. We loved the little added touches such as delicious homemade shortbread and chocolates in the bedroom. The breakfast was also great. It was a good base for discovering the northern part of the Lake District.
