Family trip to the ivy guest house
Me and my partner had a fabulous stay in this beautiful cottage. The food and staff were great and with my partner being heavily pregnant they reached every demand she had with ease. We stayed with our dog and she had a great time too meeting some other furry friends staying there as well. 10/10

Perfect, relaxing stay.
The hotel is set in the picture book village of Hawkshead. The place itself is a beautiful old house with original features throughout. The rooms are a good size with really comfortable beds and are pet friendly. The village itself is beautiful, with several different places to eat and within walking distance of Ambleside (6 miles). The service at Ivy House was excellent. Greeted by the friendly owner with a bottle of fresh water and shown to our room. You can also text the owners your breakfast order the night before and specify what time you would like to eat which I thought was a great touch. If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing stay, with a view to doing some walking or sightseeing, with the option of excellent food in cosy pubs, I couldn't recommend Ivy House any higher.

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 !
