We stayed at Ivythwaite for our honeymoon and having looked at reviews of other local hotels we obviously got lucky. The staff/owners were all extremely friendly and helpful, and the room was excellent, and had a great jacuzzi. Unlike other hotels we've stayed in, we found the accommodation to be exactly as advertised. The food was excellent too, with a charming breakfast room. The hotel was everything we had hoped for for our honeymoon, and we hope to return soon. We would both be staggered to ever read a bad review of this hotel, we can not recommend Ivythwaite Lodge highly enough!!

Lovely room, four poster and jacuzzi bath. Good breakfast (hot!) with really nice bacon and local food. Relaxed host. One tiny tiny criticism is that we could have done with coat-hooks on a door for our wet coats. But a really nice, relaxed stay. Will visit again.

My friend and our wives stayed there for four nights. The premises is excellent and the owner, Mick and his wife Wendy are truely lovely people with a great sense of humour and fun. The breakast was first class and the premises itself was ideally situated between the towns of Windermere and Bowness. Local restaurants and Pubs are within easy walking distance. I will not hesitate in recommending this guesthouse and would certainly go there again.
