We stayed 5 nights on our first visit to Walker Ground Manor, which stands at the end of a lane above Hawkshead village. Dougie and Andrea are the perfect hosts, friendly and helpful and can recommend places to eat/visit etc. Easy walking to the village for food.

Have been visiting Andrea & Dougie's fabulous B&B since they first took it over in 2001 and 8 years later we're still going back for more!

It was easy to find using their detailed instructions, but hard to believe at the time that there could be a road beyond the little bungalow development!!

Dougie and Andrea run an excellent B&B, an easy stroll from the centre of Hawkshead. It's a good centre for walking, and Windermere and Coniston are easily accessible.

Stayed in this B&B for three nights. Old house with very large room and big bathroom with bath and shower. Huge super kingsize bed. Horrible little TV, but otherwise good stay with nice hosts and good breakfasts. House set in beautiful garden, surrounded by fields and a short stroll to the lovely village of Hawkshead.
