They supplied me with coffee at 6:15am made my porridge and provided a a take away sausage sarnie which I ate when I finished the race and was like heaven at that point! The room was very clean and comfortable for the night and I had a lovely meal at Billy’s round the corner (4mins walk). ##### Nicholas Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ros 30 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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 ! ##### Ros Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah 30 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely clean room, beautifully decorated house, great central location for walking and delicious breakfast. ##### Sarah Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom 5 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very welcoming.

The house is spotlessly clean and stylishly decorated. The room albeit small was comfortable and had everything we required. Breakfast was served in a comfortable dining room and as we had ordered. My vegan breakfast was lovely. The food is hot and freshly cooked and my husband said his poached egg was perfect. Highly recommended . Ideally located for local inns however they book up in advance so I would recommend booking in advance. ![Ivy House Hallway ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3d3be10b-04c1-478b-a2d7-550770feae08-1757177219695.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7e190d17-feff-4427-a9d2-9e3754878877-1757177220071.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b686b85f-437b-48f2-8a40-22a4c67750ea-1757177223595.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jayne Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 6 Sept 2025 Fantastic hosts, super clean, room very spacious and comfortable, superb location, breakfast amazing, would highly recommend Ivy house, will definitely be visiting again ##### David Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew 1 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Kate was fantastic, rooms spacious, clean (spotless) with really comfortable beds. ##### Andrew Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer 1 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We had a nice stay.
