    It was perfect

    Fantastic B&B. The whole place is spotlessly clean and very modern. We booked 3 rooms for 5 friends, all rooms were beautiful & spacious with super comfy beds. The hosts are wonderful & friendly. Breakfast is superb. The extra lounge area was a great bonus for the evenings and the scenery is gorgeous. The location is perfect for restaurants, just a few minutes walk away - The Pheasant Inn & Bassenthwaite Lake Station Cafe, both serving great food. This area is brilliant for walking & hiking whether you are experienced or not. We will definitely return.

    We enjoyed the very friendly atmosphere of this very comfortable guest house. Nothing was too much trouble for Katie and Pete. The breakfast was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. Our room was very clean and a relaxing retreat from the storm which visited us on the second day of our stay.

    The introduction to our room and the offer of coffee and biscuits in the garden on arrival. The lovely large bed same as we have at home with very comfortable pillows, two comfortable chairs to relax in and great storage. The roomy shower. Breakfast. Our lovely smiley and chatty hosts who were attentive but not intrusive. The area is central to where we wanted to be and there was nice walks to enjoy in the evening especially the lovely wildlife area across the main road.

    Pete and Katie were very welcoming and their attention to detail ensured a great stay. Pete gave us directions to walk up Sale Fell and provided us with a map. Pete and Katie were very helpful after we had the misfortune of locking our keys and phones in our car while away from the property. Thanks to You both for a lovely stay.

    10:00 am sharp check out and 4:00pm check in. Earlier check in with more baggage storage flexibility would make it perfect and later check out with baggage storage flexibility would be ideal. Maybe light snack options for lunch and dinner. Local Inn for dinner most convenient but can get expensive over a several day stay.

    Pete and Katie lovely hosts. Extremely clean and comfortable. Quiet location, easy to access and find. Off street parking.

    I cannot think of a single thing that would improve Link House, The front garden to the footpath was a little untidy even allowing for the scorching summer. Drive up to the small parking area is rather narrow but I parked on the road and this seemed quite safe.

    The warm welcome, having my quite heavy luggage carried to my room. The room was not large but had everything L needed and the bath - room was spotless and good supply of hot water with nice fluffy towels. Excellent cooked to order breakfast.
