Loved the High Fold Guest House!

We stayed here for a wonderful 4 nights and enjoyed every minute of our stay. Jackie is a lovely hostess in every way, very welcoming and so helpful. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable with a little fridge and coffee, tea, and sweet little biscuits. The bathroom is bright and the shower is one of the best we've had while in the UK. Jackie makes a delicious breakfast every morning with a buffet of cereals, yogurt, and juice, followed by a menu of eggs and other hot menu choices. It was a great way to start the day before heading out for all that the Lake District offers - there are so many beautiful walks and lakes to explore. We were also just a short walk from The Mortal Man, one of our favorite pubs with a beautiful garden. With all The High Fold Guest House has to offer, one of the most wonderful things about it are the amazing views from every window. We hope to return soon. Thank you so much for such a lovely stay, Jackie.
The view from our room window - beautiful.

Amazing hospitality, great rooms and the view!

The location is wonderful - not too far away from the main Lake District attractions, but removed enough, that it feels like a proper rural location. The view is outstanding, the room was clean, warm and with small touches everywhere, to make us feel welcome. The breakfast was tasty and one of the best sausages and black puddings we have had in B&Bs. The hospitality was warm and nothing was too much trouble. Would come back!

Well run B&B was made to feel really welcome. Great location that enabled us to walk to Windemere and Ambleside as the traffic was hectic over Easter. Little touches like coffee on the patio on arrival and chocolates on Easter Sunday were appreciated with our hosts going the extra mile.
