A charming place in the countryside. We had a nicely furnished, well equipped and comfortable room. The breakfast selection was excellent as was the dinner option which we ordered one evening. Not to mention the flapjacks which we slipped into our rucksacs - great tasting energy source for walking! Anne was a welcoming host. Very good value. More

Our stay at the Old Rectory in the Garden Room cottage was superb. This was the Lake District experience we were hoping for. Situated off the main road in a very quiet location, with access to walking trails. The Room was more than adequate with a comfortable King size bed.

Pleasantly rural location ~15 minutes walk from the Lake shore. Warm welcome with nice touches of wine and biscuits. Attentive, responsive host but never intrusive.

Arriving at the Old Rectory on a chilly, rainy afternoon in May, we were greeted warmly by Ann and her staff. We were given tea and freshly baked scones in the lounge. What a treat! We also learned that Ann is a great cook and will prepare dinner for you if you pre-arrange it with her. Breakfasts were wonderful. All... More

The Old Rectory is very conveniently situated near Coniston Water. It's also an ideal base for a wider tour of the Lakes. It's an elegant old house located in very beautiful country. More

My wife and I were taking my elderly father-in-law and a friend away for a short break. We spent four very comfortable nights at the Old Rectory enjoying the excellent breakfasts. We also had two very nice evening meals. The bedrooms were comfortable and clean as was the rest of the house. More
