We had a lovely stay and were met by Robyn and Chris, who were willing to accommodate us dropping our bags off early. It was a really lovely surprise to find our bags in our room when we returned later!
The room was really comfortable with all of the little luxuries that we’d need and extras available in the guest lounge if we needed them.
Breakfast was delicious and had everything we could possibly want. Lovely fresh local produce too!
We’d love to stay here again and would recommend to friends and family.
We loved everything about Oakfold House. The quiet yet close to everything location, the beautiful room and view from our room, delicious breakfast. Easy access to buses to explore the many towns around the lake, as we did not have a car. Chris and Robyn were extremely helpful and lovely to chat to - cannot recommend highly enough.
Cozy and warm place to stay. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food is great too. It takes twenty minutes to get to the railway station. Highly recommend.
Stayed here for 2 nights in the middle of the week, in winter so I imagine it was much quieter than it will be in the summer. Hotel was absolutely superb- extremely comfortable, clean, with a relaxing atmosphere. It is decorated very well, lovely art on the walls, very tasteful. We stayed in the smallest double room available- a really cosy attic room- and we did not find that the size was an issue, it did not feel cramped. At night it was very quiet and peaceful. Breakfast was also delicious- there are definitely options for everyone- and the extras (such as some free fudge and teas and hot chocolate for the room) were very much appreciated. Staff were lovely and welcoming- all in all a really enjoyable experience! Hopefully we will be returning there one day.
It was an awesome experience! The lovely couple-run hotel gave us an amazing stay in every aspect. The homemade warm breakfast surpassed our expectations!
The best accommodation we have stayed in. Clare and Rob were the perfect host and nothing was ever too much trouble.
The hotel is in a perfect location for shops and country walks and the rooms are clean and comfortable.
We will absolutely be booking for our summer break next year.
We were allowed to check in early , 2pm. The accommodation is very convenient for a stroll to Bowness. Clare was very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. Room was clean and very comfortable. Breakfast had lots of choice on the pre order and was lovely and hot when served. I left a shirt in the room and Clare even messaged me to get my address to post it onto me. Would definitely recommend.
Nice location, close to everything. Room is very cozy and clean. Breakfast is the best. And our hostess is so helpful and gave us lots of useful information about how to spend our time at Lake District. When we come back, we definitely will stay there again.
We had a lovely stay . Clare and rob were excellent hosts . Beautiful clean rooms and absolutely amazing breakfasts . Attention to detail was spot on . Thank you for all your kindness . We will definitely return .
