Vacanze East Hauxwell

This is a wonderful place to stay--convenient to the train station and the center of town, but in a quiet area. We stayed twice, before and after hiking in the Lakes District, and stayed in two different rooms. The beds are very comfortable, and both rooms had space for us to spread out. Tip: when it's really hot, the lower floors are cooler! Breakfast is great; we only got the continental, but it comes with porridge or overnight oats, and the menu for full breakfast looked fantastic and Sue cooks to order. And her fruit buffet can't be beat! Sue is a great host, and while she maintains a very clean place, she warmly accommodates bikers and hikers who arrive in less-than-clean condition (even a little early), and she has a place to store bikes and dry their shoes, etc.--this seems like a great place for the Coast-to-Coast riders to stop.

Not so great bits - Considering the high price of the room, the room we were allocated was very small in comparison to the other rooms The English breakfast was sadly tasteless and we felt we were an inconvenience to the breakfast staff when waiting to be seated and ordering toast etc Parking is not on site (tight to enter and keypad is very low) charged at £25 per stay and only valid for 1 hour after checkout Good bits - great central location, room and bathroom was well equipped, maintained and very clean, the lounge area has lovely views across the lake

The staff are Amazing, clean rooms, amazing food (albeit expensive) We enjoyed our time at the Wild Boar but and its a big but! The price of food was hard to swallow (pardon the pun)

Really well located just out of bowness and Windermere - great staff, food was lovely and room was great pet friendly too would highly recommended!
