Loved the High Fold Guest House!

We stayed here for a wonderful 4 nights and enjoyed every minute of our stay. Jackie is a lovely hostess in every way, very welcoming and so helpful. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable with a little fridge and coffee, tea, and sweet little biscuits. The bathroom is bright and the shower is one of the best we've had while in the UK. Jackie makes a delicious breakfast every morning with a buffet of cereals, yogurt, and juice, followed by a menu of eggs and other hot menu choices. It was a great way to start the day before heading out for all that the Lake District offers - there are so many beautiful walks and lakes to explore. We were also just a short walk from The Mortal Man, one of our favorite pubs with a beautiful garden. With all The High Fold Guest House has to offer, one of the most wonderful things about it are the amazing views from every window. We hope to return soon. Thank you so much for such a lovely stay, Jackie.
The view from our room window - beautiful.

Amazing hospitality, great rooms and the view!

The location is wonderful - not too far away from the main Lake District attractions, but removed enough, that it feels like a proper rural location. The view is outstanding, the room was clean, warm and with small touches everywhere, to make us feel welcome. The breakfast was tasty and one of the best sausages and black puddings we have had in B&Bs. The hospitality was warm and nothing was too much trouble. Would come back!

Well run B&B was made to feel really welcome. Great location that enabled us to walk to Windemere and Ambleside as the traffic was hectic over Easter. Little touches like coffee on the patio on arrival and chocolates on Easter Sunday were appreciated with our hosts going the extra mile.

Relaxing stay

Beautiful place to stay very relaxing and lovely clean rooms with stunning views of the countryside. Breakfast was excellent couldn’t fault it. There is a bit of a drive up a very narrow country lane and had to reverse couple times when met with oncoming vehicles but other than that would highly recommend this guest house.

Best guest house

The attention to detail of the owners of High Fold is incredible. The house is amazingly clean. Bed we had was comfortable. Ensuite was fresh, clean and well stocked with soaps, shampoo, conditioner. Towels are top quality. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate horlicks are plenty. Breakfast was as good as any top class hotel. The house itself is in a ve quiet setting with the excellent views. Hosts are friendly and welcoming. No dogs, no young children, no problem.

Peace and quiet

Cannot fault High Fold Guest House from the moment we arrived to when we left it was perfect. Rooms are very comfortable, clean and well equipped. Lovely selection of tea, coffee and other drinks, nice to return to after a day sightseeing or out walking. Breakfast was divine, perfectly cooked full English breakfast with a wide selection of cereals and beautifully presented soft fruits. Guest house has adequate parking and is set off a quiet country lane. There are lovely views across the valley which just adds to the tranquillity. Good access to other areas of the Lake District and nice pubs within easy reach for evening meals. Free WiFi as well.

Perfect!

We had a wonderful two-night stay at High Fold Guest House recently. The property is located in a very tranquil setting with stunning views across the valley. We were warmly welcomed by Les, the owner, and had complimentary tea/coffee on the terrace. Our room (Kentmere) was very comfortable with a four-poster bed, an immaculate en-suite toilet and shower, tea/coffee making facilities and excellent WiFi connection. As well as the lovely views from the window, we were able to see an amazing variety of birds visit the feeders, including a pair of greater spotted woodpeckers. There was an amazing selection for breakfast but we can definitely recommend the Full English and the fruit platter! Les, the owner, is extremely friendly and helpful and explained some of the local walks which we could do – maps and directions are provided. There are a couple of pubs within easy walking distance. We would definitely recommend this accommodation and hope to return ourselves in the future.

Superb Quality Guesthouse

Short 2 night break in the Lakes. We wanted to be away from the madding crowd, and this location was ideal. The service from our hosts was first class, as was the room and the breakfast. Lovely quality 4 poster bed, very comfortable. This guesthouse is rated as 4 Star Silver, but in our opinion, should be either 4 Star Gold, or 5 Star Silver. Loved the place, and will return.
