    A pleasant experience to stay in this grand old house with all original features. Amy was the best host with fresh scones, lighting fires in the beautiful garden and welcome drinks. Good place to explore the Lakes district by car

    The property was maintained and decorated beautifully, in keeping with the age of the building. It has a lovely atmosphere which gives a relaxing feeling and is a stepback into the world and time in which it was created. Amy is a wonderful host...
