    The Old School House is a quaint property with cosy rooms, lovely staff and an exceptional breakfast. We stayed for 2 nights and could have happily stayed longer.

    Absolutely Nothing.

    The convenience (walking distance) to the village and to all Lake District Attractions. Hawkshead is a lovely village, beautifully looked after, and a well kept secret as opposed to other Lake District villages or towns. People incredibly friendly and Mark and Emma wonderful hosts.

    Property was great, nothing to complain about. Only issue we had with our stay was not with the property but with the amount of places to eat that had either shut down or was being refurbished.

    Lovely old school house, great character.

    Just returned from the most amazing stay with Emma & Mark. The rooms are spacious and absolutely spotlessly clean. The bed was fabulously comfortable with phenomenally plump pillows and cushions. The bathroom was spotless with hand wash, body lotion, body wash/ shampoo provided. The towels are very large and oh so fluffy too. Breakfast options are plentiful, full English very good quality. And the fried egg, orange yoke too. Breakfast room also has an open fire which smells incredible. The lounge contains very comfortable chairs and a sofa with a log burner too. Absolutely delightful stay and can't wait to visit again in the warmer weather.

    The sofa bed was not comfortable. The Bathroom was internal to the room and very small. We paid 200 Euros for B&B for three in one small suite and small shower room, High ? This may be the market price, if it is, I withdraw my "High" comment. Not a reflection on the Hotel but several eating places in the village didn't serve food due to lack of staff. The few remaining were full. We ate Co-op sandwiches in the room which is not my idea of a holiday. I suggest the B&B offers booking in restaurants to ensure guests can have dinner on vacation.

    The owner was very good at running the B&B. The rooms we nice and the coffee/tea etcetera good quality. The breakfast was lovely. The checkin was a breeze but you need to check your SMS for instructions on how to check in. Nice area. WIFI was great and needed with poor phone reception in the area.
