Overall Ratings & Reviews Cuckoo Brow Inn

Great two days at the hotel. I cannot reccommend the hotel hight enough

Very friendly staff and nice and clean The menu for breakfast and dinner was limited as to choice and could do with having an alternative some days I asked for a sandwich at 3.15pm and was told the kitchen was closed even though their information page states soup and sandwiches until 4.00pm We stayed in room no2 and we are active 70 year olds but found getting out from the shower/bath was a big step and waiting for an accident to happen

Clean and friendly staff

Property was like a traditional English guest house with updated amenities.

Wonderful place with welcoming staff. Food was amazing, you have to try the Sunday roast ( bring a big appetite.)

Booked a double room online for myself priced £144. My husband decided to join me and there was an extra charge of £30. I needed an early start as was offered porridge, a banana and a yoghurt takeaway. My husband went for breakfast and there was very little in the way of offerings which was little disappointing. The room was comfortable and quiet and very close to Cunsey if you are booking for The Lap.

Helpful, friendly and efficient service alongside a comfortable room and good food have all contributed to an enjoyable stay.

A truly fabtastic stay!!! I took part in "The Lap" 47 mile ultramarathon on the Saturday and was booked to stay Friday through to checkout on Sunday. I actually finished work early and asked if i could add a day on. The hosts were very accommodating and so i stayed an extra night. When i got there, the staff were very welcoming, the bar was fully stocked with lots of drinks and crisps too. The room was very comfortable, great bathroom and very comfy bed. The service was excellent. The room was made everyday and restocked. Fantastic!! Evening Meal was gorgeous. Very high quality food and a good selection. Breakfast was impossible for me as i had to leave at 5am for the race so the hosts made me a breakfast bag, which i thought was very kind of them. Breakfast the Sunday morning was very nice. Good selection if cereals, toast, fruit, coffee, tea, juices etc. I VERY HIGHLY recommend the Cuckoo Brow not only for the comfort and location to the Lake Windermere, but the hosts too. Very very lovely people who make your stay very comfortable. Im doing The Lap again next year and my girlfriend has already booked our stay here for 2026 ( Miss Jackson) so that shows you how good it is.

Lovely welcome and helped with my bag. The room was large warm and very comfortable. Food and service was excellent can’t fault anything!

The family running the hotel were very hospitable and friendly

Amazing couple of days away! This hotel could not do enough for you! The food was delicious, service and atmosphere fabulous. We would definitely recommend The Cuckoo Brow 5*

The Inn was in a quiet village near Hawkshead. The dinner and breakfast menu and food served was really good and tasty. The room facilities were ok - but a lot of noise from the people in the room above walking around.

Stains on bedding, dust on curtains that could be seen when they were shut, plucked furniture, not clean at all which was not enjoyable when I was with my baby

Gorgeous view of the fjord - couldn't do better. The reception area had a bit of cigarette oder but the room and breakfast room were fresh and clean. The hosts were kind and the breakfast wonderful.

The room and bathroom was stark and held only the basic necessities. No facial tissues. No decorations to make it feel cozy. Food and service were good. Owners friendly and inviting. Parking very limited but that was the whole area.

Lovely stay. Room clean and comfortable, staff very helpful and cheerful.

My brother and I had an excellent stay at the Cuckoo Brow Inn. The Cuckoo Brow Inn is the ideal quaint B&B in the Lake District for a very reasonable rate. The staff were very friendly, the restaurant served up delicious traditional Cumbrian fare for breakfast and dinner, and the room was comfortable and updated (appreciated the clawfoot tub). Couldn't have asked for more.
