Fantastic

Everything was perfect during our stay. Beautiful room, excellent breakfast. We felt very well looked after. The location is great too, very easy to get around the Lakes from there without a car.
Elizabeth, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Ivythwaite Lodge is a beautiful house with many original features. It was a bonus to have a fridge in the room. We appreciated the warmth of the property and also the excellent service provided by Andrew and Abigail. The breakfasts were delicious and cooked options could be ordered the night before by text. Most of the food was locally sourced and Abigail’s home baking was great. The property was in a quiet location but easily accessible to Windermere and Bowness. The comfortable bed ( ours was a 4 poster) made for an excellent night’s sleep. If going to the area in the future we would certainly book again.
Stuart, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

One of the best guest houses we’ve ever stayed in.

We had an amazing stay at Ivythwaite Lodge, it was immaculately clean, service was spot on as was breakfast. There was also some lovely little touches with home made cake on arrival and home made muffins to take away with you after breakfast. It was also very reasonably priced compared to other similar establishments close by. We would certainly stay here again if we visit the lakes in the future.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The room was very nice and the bathroom was nicely appointed and modern. Breakfast was wonderful!! Lots of extras in the room including homemade pieces of cake upon arrival. Andrew had lots of suggestions for a day out which was so helpful.

KARLA, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Had a lovely stay at the Ivythwaite hotel for 2 nights. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and provided a great breakfast with plenty of choice. Like a lot of places in the lake district it isn’t a modern look hotel but personally that’s not a bad thing and definitely wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

Amazing stay! Couldn’t fault it!

A lovely room with gorgeous spa bath! A perfect distance from both the lake (about 20mins walk) and a cluster of quality restaurants (about 9mins walk). Would definitely stay here again and will be recommending to all our friends! The owners were super friendly and helpful, and breakfast was delicious too!
