"The 18-room Cranleigh is an upscale, adult-only boutique spread over a couple typical stone-built houses in the popular Lake District town of Bowness-on-Windermere." Full review
Lonely Planet "This guesthouse has gone all out on the decor, but strip away the snazziness and it's still just a B&B." Full review
Lonely Planet "This super-snazzy B&B takes the prize for most-over-the-top decor in Windermere: from sleigh beds to jaguar-print throws and backlit bathroom mirrors...still, it's not a dull place to stay. " Full review

Insight Guides "Tucked away in a beautiful mountainous location, this former 17th-century coaching inn has delightful, modern rooms and a fine restaurant that supports quality local suppliers."
The Telegraph9.0
"Wrapped in woodland with tree-top views to Skiddaw and a 10-minute drive from Keswick, this restaurant-with-rooms offers inventive cooking, contemporary-style rooms and a warm, unstuffy atmosphere." Full review
The Guardian "A one-stop-shop for an indulgent foodie weekend with plenty of hearty outdoor appeal, this restaurant with nine bedrooms feels delightfully off-grid, tucked away 1,000ft above Keswick in the Whinlatter Forest"
The Guardian "Don’t be misled by the name; the Cottage is actually a striking Georgian mansion, set high above the spa town of Malvern, surrounded by woodland"
