A truly beautiful property. A very comfortable and relaxing stay. The breakfast was fantastic. Really nice touch that you could order a glass or bottle of wine to your room. A bed and breakfast stay with sheer glamour.
We loved our stay at The Ivy. Absolutely spotless and we were leaving early and were able to get breakfast served earlier and exactly what we wanted - porridge & blueberries before a big cycle ride, perfect. The beds are very comfy and itâs in a quiet location. Highly recommend.
Beautiful restoration of an old building with more work to be done on the windows and sills. Lovely, welcoming owners who were very helpful with any of our needs. Breakfast requirements texted the night before and ready for us at the specified time. Comfortable beds and modern bathroom with easy to use shower. Car parking space. What's not to like?
Lovely room, hotel was dog friendly and our pooch had a fab time too. Gorgeous breakfast. Helpful & friendly would definitely recommend. We will be back!
Absolutely fantastic.
Will definitely return and highly recommend if staying in Hawkshead.
Extremely friendly hosts. Fabulous rooms with everything you need. Breakfast was also superb. Lots of secure parking. Shops and pubs all in the doorstep.
Look forward to returning

We had a great night, in an excellent room, in a brilliant building, with great hosts, slap bang in the middle of beautiful Hawkshead.
Very comfortable bed and cracking breakfast.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ivy Hotel. Room was spotless, bed was so comfortable. Had everything you need. Katie and her husband who own the Ivy was very welcoming & friendly. Breakfast was good plenty of choices. Couldnt fault it. Yes l would stay here again definitely. đ
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.
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
A brief but very pleasant stay! I slept over before a trail marathon the early the next morning in Grizedale Forest. The owners couldnât have been more helpful. They offered to run me down to the start line, I needed my car, but that was very kind! 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 Billyâs round the corner (4mins walk).
