We have never made as many return visits to any B+B as we have to Lowthwaite! Jim and Tine are so welcoming it always feels like coming home, and we know a warm welcome and a plate of muffins await us! This was the first time we stayed in Blencathra - a delightful room on two levels, with a lovely... More

There are certain extras that take a B&B to the top of any list and Lowthwaite B&B really has gone all the way with its ethos and service. Here is a random list of the great impressions during our stay: OUR ROOMS: plenty of parking, separate entrance, freshly baked muffins in our room every day, an endless supply of teas... More

We were looking for a B&B which offered seclusion but proximity to the fells and something relaxing but still lovely - Lowthwaite offered this and more. Jim and Tine were perfect hosts - offering advice and help when needed, never overwhelming and entirely natural. The breakfasts were superb - home cooked muffins, breads, lovely compotes and jams as well as... More

We have today returned from 2 nights at the Lowthwaite B&B, and thoroughly enjoyed every second of our stay. We were lucky enough to book all the rooms as a family, and were instantly welcomed by wonderful and attentive owners, Jim and Tine. All of the rooms were exceptionally well presented, and this consistently superb standard was also shown in... More

We had only booked one night at this B&B but within ten minutes of arriving we had asked if we could stay longer. Tine and Jim are friendly and welcoming but really chilled out. They've found the right combination between attentive and yet not overwhelming - it was a great pleasure to meet them. We stayed one night in the... More

Its easy to run out of superlatives when talking about this fabulous B+B (and of course we have not tried all the B+Bs in the UK!), but I would be very surprised if any in the UK are better than this one? Its in a great position close to Ullswater and within very easy reach of the central lakes too... More

We only had one day in the lake district and we couldn't have chosen a better place to stay. Out of the way and settled in a beautiful location- Lowthwaite is a dream B&B. The owners are focused on responsible living and it shows in their care for their guests and their environment around them. In two weeks we went... More

The best 'B and B' I've stayed at anyway. Fab location, wonderful hosts, clean abode and delicious home 'created' food (incredible breakfast)- this really was 'home from home'. 5 nights here this time- my friends and I will be back. Super hospitality and friendly advise, it was a pleasure to stay here. Vi ses igen, tak for mad og 'ashante... More

Our latest visit to Lowthwaite (February 2012) must be our 5th visit since we first stayed there back in May 2009. It's always a delight to be able to return and we're certain this visit won't be our last. So… why do we keep coming back? Well, in no particular order: the owners (Tine, Jim and the girls); the rooms... More
