Excellent experience, felt like home from home.

Pros: Excellent experience from start to finish. The hosts Katie and Pete, could not do enough to make our stay warm, welcoming and friendly. We were greeted with a fresh pot of tea and biscuits on arrival. The breakfasts were made to order and were delicious, everything was cooked to perfection. Pete and Katie are very knowledgeable about the local area and have excellent tips and where to visit and eat.

Relaxing with beautiful views and fantastic hoist

Pros: Large spacious, comfortable room with amazing views of the garden and mountains. Our hoist Pete and Kate were extremely friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was definitely the best we’ve had in a long time. We couldn’t fault a single thing and would definitely stay at the link house again if in that area. 10/10 for everything, we had a wonderful stay

Peaceful, stunning location and excellent service

Pros: Pete and Katie were so welcoming and really went above and beyond to ensure we had the best stay possible. We loved our stay. Our room was beautiful with gorgeous views of the mountains and fields. We really enjoyed breakfast and loved the location and how close it was to Keswick. We will definitely be returning!

Cons: The WiFi didn’t reach to our room and there wasn’t much phone signal, but this is the same for most of the lakes, so it didn’t bother us. It didn’t affect our stay at all and it was lovely to switch off, but the room / upstairs could maybe benefit from a WiFi extender.

Fabulous B&B in great location for exploring the Lakes with very friendly and helpful hosts!

Pros: A fabulous B&B in a great location for exploring the Lake District. We had two rooms a double and a twin which were both a good size and very clean - nice touch to have fresh bottled water every day especially as the weather was so hot during our stay. From the moment we arrived Pete and Katie made us feel at home and were very friendly and helpful with good local knowledge on how to make the best use of our stay. A superb breakfast each morning set us up perfectly for the day!

A wonderful place with truly charming and exceptional hosts. We will definitely come back.

Pros: We will long remember our remarkable hosts—cultured, witty, and constantly attentive to the comfort of their guests. One of many examples: when we returned soaked from a hike, the host was already waiting at the door and immediately offered to dry our boots. I have no idea how he did it, but the next morning they were completely dry. The room we stayed in was cozy and elegant, with a view of the mountains. And the dining room! It was a real pleasure to start each day with breakfast in that space. Everything was always perfectly prepared—neat, elegant, and welcoming at the same time. Once again, we felt the exceptional care of our hosts, who served us delicious breakfasts and kept asking if there was anything else we needed—though, in truth, there was nothing more we could possibly wish for.
