Exceptional
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The house itself was very beautiful and impressive with lots of character which suited the old village of Hawkshead. The spiral stairs and semi-circular landing were charming features. The rooms were so very clean and comfortable - with lovely new beds. Clean, fresh and spacious bathroom too - with a powerful shower.
The owners gave us a warm welcome and were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The breakfast was one of the best I have ever had. Parking was available at the back of the house, which is so useful in a place like Hawkshead. The house is located in the village and all the amenities are a short walk away.
In the front forecourt there are seats which in the summer would be a lovely place to sit.
Hawkshead is one of the prettiest villages in the Lake District and well situated for touring etc.
Overall, a great place to stay !
Everything about Ivy House and it's hosts can only be described as excellent. Such a lovely place to stay, eat and sleep. Highly recommended. Excellent breakfasts including Vegan and Gluten free.
