Just look at all the 5 star reviews since Darren and Roz took over...they deserve every one. This is a beautiful house...and can only get better when Darren has completed some outside renovations. The beds are huge and the rooms exceptionally comfortable. The attention to detail is great...down to the cuddly toy on the bed guarding the chocolates. The Ivy... More

Darren & Roz were really friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Rooms were spotless, cleaned every day and the full breakfast was the perfect start to the day! We will... More

We have just returned from an amazing weekend at The Ivy House and can't reccommend it enough. From the moment we booked til the moment we left, nothing was too much trouble for Darren and Roz.

We stayed at Ivy house for our anniversary,having only visited the lakes once before, Hawkshead was an excellent location for exploring, walking etc. Darren and Roz , plus Darrens parents were the perfect hosts, nothing was to much trouble. The bedrooms were immacutely clean and the added little touches (body lotions and perfumed room sprays etc ) made the rooms... More

Room slightly small for the size of the bed, but very comfortable and spotlessly clean with TV and ensuite bathroom. There are several pub/hotels in the village for dinner - we went to the restaurant in the... More
