Beautifully decorated traditional bed and breakfast. 18th century doctor's house. Full of history and elegance. Sweeping spiral staircase with circular landing and bedrooms off there. Room three has comfortable double bed, large window to the front with lovely views, modern bathroom with shower, dressing table, drinking water, tea coffee facilities. Kate and Paul are warm friendly down to earth. Full of friendly local knowledge and advice and a warm welcome, very helpful and we enjoyed plenty of banter. These guys started in August 2024 and are building a fabulous business. Rooms spotless and comfortable with charm. Afternoon tea impeccable and I can only say was served up with genuine care, attention to detail and a real love for what they do. Delicious variety of sandwiches, home baked cheese scones by Kate, and locally made cakes. Even edible flowers in the fresh juice drinks! In conclusion, get it booked.

We just returned home from a great two night stay at Ivy House in the picturesque village of Hawkshead. What a beautiful property, full of Georgian charm yet with every modern comfort. Kate and Paul are wonderful hosts and are both welcoming and friendly. Our twin room was very comfortable with a lovely stylish shower room ensuite. The parking was easy, adjoining the property, with a space for every guest room. The breakfast was hearty and delicious and the dining room was just beautiful. We ate at the nearby Queens both nights and the food was great. We had a really enjoyable stay and thoroughly recommend Ivy House. Thanks Kate and Paul, we will be back.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for one night during a trip around the Lake District. It was perfectly positioned close to Grizedale Forest where were had booked Go Ape for the following day. I found this place last minute on *********** and got it for a great price. Upon arrival, the owner Darren was very welcoming and friendly. He showed us to our room and where everything is and even some info about the local area. We took a stroll into the village for dinner and it was quite lively for a small village. We went to a pub The Sun, which didn't look much from the outside but inside was so cosy and welcoming with fab food! We had an early night then had a lovely breakfast in the morning which you get to pick and choose what you would like included which was great! Went for a walk on the public footpaths through the area and it was absolutely gorgeous!! Will attach any photos I can. All in all short but great stay here, would recommend to anyone!

This was our first time staying for the Christmas market, and it will not be the last. Have stayed here before so are used to the great welcome from Darren and Roz. Was stunned by the beautiful decorations, from the huge Christmas tree in the hall, down to the decorated chairs in the dinning room. The rooms are immaculate with great attention to detail. Looking to book again same time next year, so Darren showed us round the room options. Nothing seems too much trouble for them. Will definitely be back before next December.

Well what can I say about the Ivy House Guest House ? on arriving to leaving the host was excellent, showing my partner to our room as she arrived first, taking her case to the room., The room was clean and pleasant with a four poster bed in it, (To be honest the bed with its posts was a bit large for the room and I would of preferred a normal king size bed) the bathroom adequate but no shower just a bath which was a bit small for me but served its purpose. Plenty of parking at the rear of the guest house and adequate Wifi for those wanting it. The guest house is located in the centre of Hawkshead a beautiful village with all 4 pubs within an easy walking distance, if your planning on eating at them I would recommend booking a table. Your asked the night before what you would like for breakfast and what time the latest being 9.00 am, the breakfast was excellent as was our waitress. I don't think you will be disappointed if you book here.

Centrally located near the many pubs in the village, the B&B benefits from having its own parking. Nice friendly hosts who went out of their way to make you feel welcome, it’s also doggy friendly- not an issue to me but may be to others although full credit as their was no doggy smells 👍👍 Breakfast was fine & hearty - it’s a pre-order which I’m not a fan of but I do understand the reasoning behind it. The room was ok, the bathroom is a bath with a hand held shower, not the best if I’m honest particularly the temp control - plus the window latch was faulty so we couldn’t close the window, it was quite mild so not an issue but wouldn’t want that in winter. That aside will come back & would recommend especially if you fancy taking a 4 legged guest with you 👍👍
