After a little confusion on check in, seems our room had been given to someone else by mistake, we were handed the keys to a bigger room, lucky us. The room was huge, a king size bed, great bay window overlooking the main street, big tv, plenty of natural light, a great upgrade! The location is fab.

Located in Winster, 5.2 km from World of Beatrix Potter, The Brown Horse Inn provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant. Providing a bar, the property is located within 43 km of Derwentwater. The accommodation features room service and a concierge service for guests.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The place was spotlessly clean and the beds were very comfy. We looked for somewhere to stay outside of the villages and the Inn was ideally located on a quiet road with central easy access to all the lakes and nearby shops and necessities. We also had a delicious dinner at the Inn and the Guiness on tap was excellent! The room was well stocked with tea/coffee etc. Lots of easy parking.

    Beautifully renovated. Great views. Breakfast was perfect. When we arrived and saw how beautiful it was we decided to stay for dinner instead of venturing into the village … we weren’t disappointed! Free and ample parking. Comfortable seating outside. Attentive staff.

    We really enjoyed our stay at Puddle Duck, our room, in fact most of the B and B is a very nice quirky feel. The room has memorabilia relating to Beatrix Potter but also everything has been considered and you will not need anything. The four poster bed was really comfortable and we really loved the breakfast, it has lots of choice and was delivered at a time to suit. The guest house is also positioned in a great area, close to the harbour, restaurants and within walking distance.

    Close to amenities, easy to locate & a clean property! Nothing to advise to avoid this guest house as it states everything on the description. Owners very quick to help where required as we were in touch due to parking but everything was enjoyable!
