"We stayed in the family room for the weekend. The room was very clean and spacious, with a brilliant view of the lake. The hotel is only a stone's throw away from Hellvelyn which is where we intended to visit, which was very convenient. With the delicious breakfast it was very good value. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful as well."

"Very pleasant inn keeper. He was helpful and friendly. The breakfast choices were perfect whether you wanted a meal breakfast or something light. Rooms were clean. I worried about the stairs as I have difficulty climbing some stairs and these were not taxing on my knees, Appreciate the stay at The Old Rectory."

"Possibly the cleanest and best presented B&B we’ve ever stayed in! "

"I stayed in the Alcock Tarn suite. Totally gorgeous overall - the bed and pillows were super comfy. The rain shower and rolltop bath were brilliant and the sofa in the living room great for chilling with a book. The fridge allowed for snacks and drinks. Will be back! "

"Fairly basic but clean . Manager was very nice guy . Probably over priced for what it is . But no real complaints for a drop off close to M6"

"The 3 course meal was al a carte status, excellent made by chef/ owner. Lovely bedrooms and v clean and owners very welcoming. Lovely views and walks nearby. For children the wildlife park is worth a visit nearby. "
