“a special place in the lakes, and in our hearts...”

Reviewed 2 November 2011

We have been visiting Buckle Yeat for a number of years, but it never fails to be a wonderfully special experience.

Our last visit was in October when we (2 adults, small child and 2 teenagers, and my parents) managed a long weekend away.

The drive up to the Lakes was filled with excitement - looking forward to everything the area has to offer, and particularly to getting settled in at Buckle Yeat

As ever we weren't disappointed. A lovely welcome from Robert & Helen, and the wonderful smell of the open fire as we stepped into the living room

The bedrooms are lovely - clean, fresh, and comfortable (the bed linen smells divine!), with lovely home made biscuits, tea and coffee making, bottle of water, and nice toiletries.

There's lots to do in the area, with or without children (we've done both!) small playground in the village, pub, walks, Tarn Hows (lovely lake walk), Hawkshead, etc

Days out are lovely, but for me it's the coming back to Buckle Yeat at the end of the day thats the best bit. It's such a haven - calming, relaxing, welcoming. Boots off, wine out, and a chance to catch up with that book i've been meaning to read!

The evening is a great chance to catch up with other guests who want to share stories of their day - making new friends, and occasionally catching up with old friends. Whilst there's a mix of visitors at Buckle Yeat, they all seem to have something in common - an open friendliness that leads to great conversations and shared glasses of wine!

After a great night's sleep it's time to head to the dining room for breakfast. Hmmm, yum! Fresh warm bread rolls, choice of starters (delicious porridge is my favourite), then it's a choice of main course (amazing full english), all washed down with fresh orange juice and tea or coffee, oh, and the endless toast. Really sets you up for the day!

There's something special about Buckle Yeat, something rare. A combination of good people and wonderfully relaxing surroundings. It's like having your batteries supercharged. Somehow a long weekend feels like you've been there a week - a priceless feeling when you've been very busy.

Try it, you won't be disappointed (apart from having to leave!)

“This is not just any B&B, it's the best B&B”

This was my first stay at Buckle Yeat and couldn't agree more with the comments already expressed. This is a little gem, and the genuine warm welcome and care you are given by Robert and Helen is first class .The rooms are spotless with great attention to detail and comfort. Breakfast really sets you up for the day,and the cosy log fire ends the day nicely. I will certainly return again, and recommend to others. Sincere heartfelt thanks and gratitude for a wonderful visit.

Room Tip: All rooms are to a very high standard

“Buckle Yeat Guest House”

Reviewed 24 October 2011

After a lot of research I found this beautiful guest house only a short walk from the home of Beatrix Potter. Set in the little village of Near Sawrey, you couldn't find a better location for a visit to the Lake District. The house itself is quaint and full of character, even illustrated in one of Potter's stories. We had a ground floor room, ideal for Mom as she struggles with stairs, which was comfortable and warm. The couple who run the guest house are more than friendly and obviously enjoy looking after their guests. The breakfast they served up was varied and delicious and there is a lovely pub a few steps away (Also illustrated in Potter's books) which is well worth eating at. I would highly recommend staying here. (Our visit was in July 2009)

“Excellent B&B in the lakes”

Reviewed 17 October 2011

person found this review helpful

We had seen this accommodation last year and when we decided to return to the lakes intended to stay here. It was such a good decision. Our stay was perfect and I would definitely recommend it to others. It is a quaint B&B and although the rooms are small, they are definitely in keeping with the overall ambiance of the place.
The B&B is ideally placed, although I am told that we visited at a quiet time of year and the summer months can make the village a lot more busy.
The breakfast was of a very high quality - great choice and cooked well. The hosts were friendly and helpful.
Being next to a pub that sells great food is also a bonus- although I would advise anyone to book meals at the pub if you want to go at a busy time. We were prepared to wait and it was worth it.
All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. No complaints at all.
