Lovely Hotel in a great location

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.

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 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.

The ideal B&B

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.

6/10 Okay

Very friendly staff and nice and clean The menu for breakfast and dinner was limited as to choice and could do with having an alternative some days I asked for a sandwich at 3.15pm and was told the kitchen was closed even though their information page states soup and sandwiches until 4.00pm We stayed in room no2 and we are active 70 year olds but found getting out from the shower/bath was a big step and waiting for an accident to happen
