Wonderful place with welcoming staff. Food was amazing, you have to try the Sunday roast ( bring a big appetite.)

6/10 Good

Comfortable and compact

Booked a double room online for myself priced £144. My husband decided to join me and there was an extra charge of £30. I needed an early start as was offered porridge, a banana and a yoghurt takeaway. My husband went for breakfast and there was very little in the way of offerings which was little disappointing. The room was comfortable and quiet and very close to Cunsey if you are booking for The Lap.

An extremely love

A truly fabtastic stay!!! I took part in "The Lap" 47 mile ultramarathon on the Saturday and was booked to stay Friday through to checkout on Sunday. I actually finished work early and asked if i could add a day on. The hosts were very accommodating and so i stayed an extra night. When i got there, the staff were very welcoming, the bar was fully stocked with lots of drinks and crisps too. The room was very comfortable, great bathroom and very comfy bed. The service was excellent. The room was made everyday and restocked. Fantastic!! Evening Meal was gorgeous. Very high quality food and a good selection. Breakfast was impossible for me as i had to leave at 5am for the race so the hosts made me a breakfast bag, which i thought was very kind of them. Breakfast the Sunday morning was very nice. Good selection if cereals, toast, fruit, coffee, tea, juices etc. I VERY HIGHLY recommend the Cuckoo Brow not only for the comfort and location to the Lake Windermere, but the hosts too. Very very lovely people who make your stay very comfortable. Im doing The Lap again next year and my girlfriend has already booked our stay here for 2026 ( Miss Jackson) so that shows you how good it is.

The Inn was in a quiet village near Hawkshead. The dinner and breakfast menu and food served was really good and tasty. The room facilities were ok - but a lot of noise from the people in the room above walking around.

The room and bathroom was stark and held only the basic necessities. No facial tissues. No decorations to make it feel cozy. Food and service were good. Owners friendly and inviting. Parking very limited but that was the whole area.

The ideal B&B

My brother and I had an excellent stay at the Cuckoo Brow Inn. The Cuckoo Brow Inn is the ideal quaint B&B in the Lake District for a very reasonable rate. The staff were very friendly, the restaurant served up delicious traditional Cumbrian fare for breakfast and dinner, and the room was comfortable and updated (appreciated the clawfoot tub). Couldn't have asked for more.

Family Managed Property, comfy, clean and top food

The staff , chef and management were excellent. The food was amazing, the bed super comfy, the setting quiet. It is run by a Mauritian family and they were super charming and really understood the importance of good hospitality.
