Weekend away!
Amazing couple of days away! This hotel could not do enough for you! The food was delicious, service and atmosphere fabulous.
We would definitely recommend The Cuckoo Brow 5*
The Inn was in a quiet village near Hawkshead. The dinner and breakfast menu and food served was really good and tasty. The room facilities were ok - but a lot of noise from the people in the room above walking around.
Stains on bedding, dust on curtains that could be seen when they were shut, plucked furniture, not clean at all which was not enjoyable when I was with my baby
Gorgeous view of the fjord - couldn't do better. The reception area had a bit of cigarette oder but the room and breakfast room were fresh and clean. The hosts were kind and the breakfast wonderful.
The room and bathroom was stark and held only the basic necessities. No facial tissues. No decorations to make it feel cozy. Food and service were good. Owners friendly and inviting. Parking very limited but that was the whole area.
My brother and I had an excellent stay at the Cuckoo Brow Inn. The Cuckoo Brow Inn is the ideal quaint B&B in the Lake District for a very reasonable rate. The staff were very friendly, the restaurant served up delicious traditional Cumbrian fare for breakfast and dinner, and the room was comfortable and updated (appreciated the clawfoot tub). Couldn't have asked for more.
Family Managed Property, comfy, clean and top food
The staff , chef and management were excellent. The food was amazing, the bed super comfy, the setting quiet.
It is run by a Mauritian family and they were super charming and really understood the importance of good hospitality.
The staff here were wonderful very attentive. The rooms a good size and clean couldn't fault. We had breakfast and evening meals on two nights and they were excellent
A really lovely hotel in a great location close to Hawkshead. Great service from the family running the hotel, and lovely food in the restaurant. We stayed one night with our little dog and he was made very much at home with a truly 'pet friendly' welcome.
