We were looking for somewhere that was comfortable, warm & that had a bath as my partner had just completed a 40 odd mile fell race & needed some R & R. We found it at the Ivythwaite Lodge in the Langdale Pikes room. A lovely decorated room with a four poster bed & spa bath. We were warmly welcomed... More

I highly recommend the Ivythwaite if you need a getaway romantic weekend in Windermere. The rooms are well-decorated in a manner that is contemporary but classic, and which feels sumptuous (as opposed to the Grandma's-quilt look of some other places). There are set breakfast options every morning (which you chose in the evening), but they are delicious (especially Wendy's pancakes--... More

Just returned from a 2 night stay at 'The Cranny', Ivythwaite Lodge. The cottage was spotlessly clean, in a brilliant location and was a perfect size for our family of 3 with everything we needed. Excellent hosts and a great place to come back to each evening. We'll most definitely visit again on our next trip and recommend highly. More

We have been frequent visitors to the lake district now for many years and have stayed in almost every kind of accomodation available, but after our first stay in Ivythwaite 3 years ago we can't help but just keep coming back. We've used both the B&B accomodation and we're lucky enough to grab a last minate bargain with their lovely... More

We have just returned after a short stay at 'the cranny' (the self catering cottage adjoining this b&b), which was truly fabulous. We were greeted by Mick who showed us to the cottage and made us feel welcome from the outset; showing us where everything was and generally chatting about walks etc. We had arranged with Mick and Wendy to...

My wife and I enjoyed a fantastic mid-week 'weekend' here last November and I'm slightly ashamed to say it's taken this long to post a review. The facilities are second to none, the rooms are beautifully presented (fabulous four poster bed and spa bath-the best of both worlds!!!), far beyond anything I'd expect from a "B&B". A wonderful place which... More

Everything was perfect. Stayed in 4 poster with double size spa bath. Breakfast healthy and plenty of choice. Will stay again Rob More

Having looking forward to a couple of night away we were very pleased with our choice of accomodation. Ivythwaite is a nice, small B and B located in a quiet street off the main road between Windermere and Bowness. The owners were friendly but not intrusive. We stayed in one of the rooms which had a four poster bed and... More

This is our fourth visit to this hotel. We stayed in the great gable room as we were celebrating a special occasion. The room was as lovely as we remembered. The bath is incredible and breakfast are amazing! This is the best hotel around and wouldn't like to stay any where else. Thanks to mic and Wendy for a fabulous... More
