Stayed here for just a few short days which was not enough, would have liked to stay longer. Cosy and well equiped with everything we needed this was in a beautiful spot and right in the centre of the Lake District with easy access to virtually everywhere. Owners were very helpful especially so since it snowed whilst we were there.... More

We arrived in a snow storm and were very keen to get into a warm space. Unfortunately, the Tack Room, where we were staying, was about the same temperature as the outdoors, despite the heating being on. the insulation is clearly completely useless. In addition, there was no one at the hotel and there was no phone reception, so it... More

We stayed in The Tack Room for a week from December 8th 2012 - we had read in previous reviews that the rooms were cold so I rang up prior to arrival to see what could be done - I spoke to the owner who was friendly and he said we were the only ones staying that week so the... More

Stunning views and fabulous welcome. The room was very spacious, clean and the fixtures and fittings suitable for a 16th century property. Four poster bed was very comfortable and the room tastefully decorated. The hosts could not do enough and even provided our little one with a little tykes car to occupy her. The quality of the breakfast food was... More

A last minute stop-over that turned out to be fantastic. I thought a tad expensive initially at £145 for the night but in the whole scheme of things it was well worth it and only a tenner more than other nearby accomodation nowhere near to the standard here. I loved the house and our room was just stunning, beautifully decorated,... More

We stayed in the tack room for a week and found the location fantastic! Lovely views over Lake Thirlmere, We are walkers with a dog so we were able to plan a walk every day. Best points were: location, very quiet and peaceful good accommodation. Poor points were: no mobile or wifi, we couldn’t even ring out from a land... More

We stayed in the Thirlmere Suite for a week at the begining of August and it was a very long week. Maybe I should have done a bit more research but was taken in by the lovely pictures on the website and their claim that it is "close to all the major Lake District attractions". I suppose it depends on... More
