The room and bathroom was stark and held only the basic necessities. No facial tissues. No decorations to make it feel cozy. Food and service were good. Owners friendly and inviting. Parking very limited but that was the whole area.

The ideal B&B

My brother and I had an excellent stay at the Cuckoo Brow Inn. The Cuckoo Brow Inn is the ideal quaint B&B in the Lake District for a very reasonable rate. The staff were very friendly, the restaurant served up delicious traditional Cumbrian fare for breakfast and dinner, and the room was comfortable and updated (appreciated the clawfoot tub). Couldn't have asked for more.

Family Managed Property, comfy, clean and top food

The staff , chef and management were excellent. The food was amazing, the bed super comfy, the setting quiet. It is run by a Mauritian family and they were super charming and really understood the importance of good hospitality.

Lovely Hotel in a great location

A really lovely hotel in a great location close to Hawkshead. Great service from the family running the hotel, and lovely food in the restaurant. We stayed one night with our little dog and he was made very much at home with a truly 'pet friendly' welcome.
