Thorney How

Absolutely dreadful even asked us to ***** bead before we vacated the room. No TV. Teeny bedroom wasn't a hotel more like a hostel. Very quiet. Host was abrupt and poured our milk into our cereal like we were children

Having just completed the Coast to Coast walk, I can honestly say that of all our 12 nights stay in various types of accommodation this was by far the worst and most expensive night we had! It was a hostel with hostel beds and bedding for the price of a hotel. My bed frame collapsing during the night! During our stay the hostel suffered a power cut for most of the night, whilst this was not the hostels fault, the emergency light in our room remained on and bright all night making sleep impossible. The food was good, but no choice and vastly over priced for what it was. The staff were very strict on rules., another party were seriously told off for being 5 minutes late for breakfast!

Great place. Tranquil. North of Grasmere by about 3/4 mile. Great welcome by Taylor and Carolyn and we were allocated room 1. Room situated at the rear of Thorney How beautifully quiet and well appointed with a great comfy bed, tea and coffee facilities, and a great on suit shower room. Breakfast was superb and if a full English taken it would last till dinner time. Perfect. Evening meal was great and delicious (thank you Carolyn for the recipe).Stayed 5 Sept through to 8 Sept and enjoyed every minute of our stay with Taylor and Carolyn We wish you continued success in the future

Stayed at Thorney How for a few nights as part of a group. The place was really clean and Taylor and Caroline were very accommodating. Our stay was very organised, which was team work from both sides. Food cooked by Taylor and Caroline was delicious. The views from the house are just beautiful and breath-taking. The walk in to Grasmere village is about a 15 minute walk and it's such a nice quirky village. Would definitely visit again.

This small rural hotel is nested between hills and farmland, situated close to Dove Cottage and museum, and not far from Windermere. Thorney How was the perfect retreat for our literary trip. Staff are attentive and welcoming and the private ensuite we stayed in was very comfortable. The location is the perfect place to stay for those with an interest in Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth.
