Myself and four friends stayed at Raise View House last weekend for an organised walking expedition from Grassmere. Before we had arrived we had swapped various emails and telephone calls with the owners and suspected we were in for a treat and going to be well looked after! How right we were. John and Karen are incredibly friendly and welcoming,... More

Raise View and it's owners John and Karen always make us feel so welcome that we have stopped even looking for others B&Bs in the Lake District. A hearty breakfast will set you up for the day, a big packed lunch is available as is a flask of hot chocolate and rum (my favourite but other options are available) in... More

Four years ago my Wife and I first stayed at Raise View and it remains our firm favourite in the lakes. It's immaculate, comfy, and in a great location. The view from the back garden is magnificent and in John and Karen there are two fantastic hosts. It rates as our most relaxing holiday location because we know it will... More

We return to Raise View every spring: we wouldn't consider staying anywhere else! John and Karen run the perfect B&B: lovely rooms with great views, wonderful breakfasts and the warmest of welcomes. Nothing is too much trouble whether it be booking restaurant tables, drying out wet walking gear or jump starting cars with flat batteries (thanks John!). My only problem... More

Raise View is a fantastic B&B which I would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone. We had planned to visit Grasmere on a day trip to do some walking as we only had Saturday night free . The day before I noticed that Raise View had a room vacant for the Friday and Saturday so on the off chance... More

We have thought long and hard about writing this review because selfishly we wanted to keep this little gem all to ourselves. We have been regular guests at Raise View for the last couple of years. It is the most special place a real retreat from a busy life with such a warm welcome guaranteed from Karen and John. Situated... More

1st time at Raise View as we always stayed at Ryelands (6 years) in the village but they stopped doing B&B last year. We loved Ryelands and always felt comfortable each time we stayed there so Raise view had a big ask to match the Ryelands. As soon as we arrived we felt very comfortable and made to feel at... More

Raise View is easy to find, a few minutes walk from the centre of the village. There is parking to the rear/side of the B&B. We stayed in the Rothay room. The view from the bedroom was very good, across a few fields to the surrounding hillsides. Our room was very nicely decorated and comfy. It wasn't a huge room,... More

As another couple said, as you are waved off by John and Karen, you know you will be returning, we have booked for the same time next year and also hope to visit one summer to enjoy a G&T in the garden whilst admiring the wonderful views. From the warm welcome over tea/coffee and homemade cake to the wonderfully furnished... More
