These three little letters best describe our experience in this amazing Summer Hill Country House. We had read some great reviews and seen some pictures on various booking websites and the place seemed too good to be true... but guess what? it IS actually that good...! we were in room number 3, very welcoming and tasteful.

Two couples stayed here for one night before the men took part in the Fred Whitton Challenge Cycle ride on the Sunday morning. Everything about our stay was excellent from the friendly welcome, cake and chocolates, to Mike and Patsy finding somewhere to keep the bikes overnight and making sure coffee and cereals were available for a very early breakfast...

Six of us stayed for several days and we were delighted by the accommodation, delicious breakfasts and the care and hospitality shown by Patsy and Mike. They could not do enough for us, recommending local pubs for dinner, lending us maps for walks, homemade chocolates every day in our rooms. Highly recommended for a relaxing and enjoyable break in beautiful... More

My wife and I enjoyed several days at this hillside B and B in the English Lake District. Patsy and Mike, a caring, and helpful couple, run the hotel. We arrived after putting a spare tire on our rental car. They immediately wanted to help by driving to a service station to fix the flat while we tried to remedy... More

We had along, tiring and wet journey to Summer Hill,so it was lovely to receive such a warm and friendly welcome from Mike and Patsy ,with restorative tea and homemade cakes. The rooms are clean, comfortable and attractively decorated,so we immediately felt at home. The location is perfect with great views of the fells, but most of all we liked... More

Lovely views from the bedrooms(and we've tried a few!) Mike and Patsy are perfect hosts -efficient, thoughtful and great fun to be with. The breakfasts are excellent and the little... More

We stayed two nights here when going to a wedding in Hawkshead. On arrival, Patsy and Mike greeted us with tea and delicious homemade cake, which was just one of many thoughtful touches throughout our stay. Our room (Room 3) had everything you could want, including homemade chocolates, the most comfortable bed we've ever slept in and a gorgeous view.... More

We found the area very beautiful and convenient as very near ambleside and easy commute for anywhere in the Lake district really. We had a very warm welcome with cake and drinks and a nice chat. Our luggage was... More

Stayed here again in April with my girlfriend. This was our second time here and again it was a three night stay. Everything is fantastic about Summer Hill; the location; Mike and Patsy's friendly and hospitable hosting; the breakfasts and the rooms. Everything was clean, everything worked, the shower was nice and warm, the bed was comfortable and I think... More
