We spent four nights at the Ravensworth and had a wonderful time. Nick and Cheryl were both friendly, helpful and welcoming. We particularly appreciated the tea and scones on arrival, the suggestions of local places to visit and the dressing gowns, chocolates and delicious biscuits in our room. The breakfast was also superb with high quality ingredients, well cooked, and... More

Spending 3 nights here was such a great decision. Driving from South Wales what we wanted was a relaxing few days away from it all, and that's what we got. Thanks to Nick and Cheryl for their wonderful hospitality. Can't fault a thing and will definitely be returning as soon as we can. I would recommend to all.

The room was small and at the back of the premises overlooking the car park and next to the laundry room. There was only a small window making the room dark and necessary to have the light on to read in the day time. The bathroom was also small especially the toilet area. The accomadation is next to quite a... More

Dear Laur123. We are really sorry that you were disappointed with some aspects of your stay. We do apologise if the noise from the laundry disturbed you, but due to one of our machines being inactive that week, we had to run the other machine for longer to get all the work done. Could I please ask you why you... More

Stayed for two nights as a party of 4 in two twin rooms - we were in the little annex. This meant some unlocking of doors, but nothing too troublesome. Nick was there to welcome us on arrival with brownies and tea, showed us around and gave us a map - just generally really helpful. The rooms were decently sized,... More

Having just got back from another trip to Windemere we thought it only fitting that we extol the virtues of The Ravensworth once again. The welcome, the breakfasts, the rooms and the staff were all of the same high standard we have come to expect. Nick and Cheryl are not resting on their laurels though as they are constantly trying... More

Lovely welcome - warm scones and lovely pot of tea. Room small but quaint. Breakfast delicous. Service 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend the Ravensworth to all of my friends and we will be back.
