    Breakfast or Breakfasts shall I say as you had the choice to have two which was great. Dining room overlooking the lake which was lovely. Nice big comfy bed in a big room with hot drink making facilities topped up each day. Giant window to look out over the lake. Hosts were fantastic, attentive and couldn’t do enough to make you feel welcome. Perfect for a relaxing weekend away, couldn’t hear any noise from any of the other rooms, had a great sleep both nights we stayed.

    Very warm welcome from Ben and Virginia. Comfortable room with great views. Great breakfast, with lots of options. Really helpful about local walks and facilities. Fantastic location for visiting the nearby lakes and hills. Pub with decent food and drink in easy walking distance. The accommodation is a developing project - a former guest house that the owners are updating and are refreshing well. We would stay there again

    A very friendly welcome from Karen and Tim, who were helpful throughout our stay. A very comfortable lodge which proved to be an ideal base for exploring the North West Lakes - an added bonus was a bus stop 3 minutes walk away which provided an hourly service into Keswick, thus saving parking fees. The Pheasant Inn was a 5 minute walk away and provided us with some good evening meals.

    We absolutely loved our stay, Pete and Katie were lovely people, house was spotless, food wonderful, location to die for. The geese arriving every dawn was just magic. We were sorry to leave! I think they are undercharging!! I have stayed in 5* hotels all over the world and Link House certainly did not disappoint! Thank you both for a lovely stay, we so hope to return before too long.

    Hosts were very attentive & met our dietary requirements (amazing vegan pancakes & homemade granola!!). The accommodation felt like a home away from home. The location was exceptional with the lake a few minutes walk away. Karen allowed us to use some old towels for swimming as I had forgotten to pack one. We will definitely be returning, could not recommend enough!!

    We booked Link House last minute, after other plans had fallen through, so the only accommodation they had left was a twin room. Despite this, we had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Pete and Katie are the perfect hosts, very attentive and welcoming. They emailed us before our stay with dinner recommendations and when we arrived gave us complimentary tea in the garden. The accommodation is extremely clean and the breakfast was delicious. I would highly recommend. This is a lovely place to explore The Lakes from.
