This B and B is my favourite in the Lakes. You are greeted with an amazing coal fire and a beautifully decorated home. Karen and John make you most welcome and are well informed on all the local walks (difficult, moderate and easy)! There is plenty of choice for breakfast, with fresh fruits, cereals, and full cooked English breakfasts as... More

We have just returned from our umpteenth stay at Raise View House. We have now stayed in nearly all of the different but unique and cosy bedrooms, each one individually named after a local poet or landmark. The house standards of luxury, style and comfort have remained consistent since our first stay 6 years ago. The welcome from Karen and... More

I was in the Lakes to go walking and managed to find this place with a single room. They have really made quite some effort with the decor to make it unlike the hundreds of clone B and Bs out there. It is comfortable, has a useful honesty bar and the breakfasts were a perfect start to an adventurous day.... More

We've just stayed at this lovely b&b where john and karen have created a really welcoming atmosphere. Our room (jackdaw) was small but cosy. Very pretty decor and a fab view.

Although the Lake District is enjoyable when staying a night or two in a Youth Hostel and you may say that it doesn't matter where you stay as the main idea is to get out in the hills, I would point you to Raise View to enhance your break. John and Karen make you feel very welcome, so much so... More

We've just got home from our 5th straight holiday with John and Karen, and as always it's a pleasure to stay with them. If you read all the reviews of Raise View on here, you will understand why we keep coming back. We recommended it to three couples we know and they have all stayed here, and this week we... More
