“Bliss”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 April 2013

We recently spent a weekend at the Bolton Gate rectory to celebrate my mother and sisters birthdays. It was the perfect choice for us - gorgeous old house, beautifully decorated and maintained. The bedrooms were really lovely and extremely comfortable with huge beds and comfortable mattresses. The owners have paid enormous attention to detail and should you have forgotten anything... More

“Fabulous hospitality, lovely place and great food”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 July 2012 via mobile

It was my 50th Birthday yesterday and my closest friends and dearest family had a wonderful lunch at the Rectory. While not something they normally do ( that is providing lunch parties) David, Gill and not forgetting Betty provided excellent hospitality and the most delicious meal in relaxing beautiful surroundings.... I cannot recommend the place enough. While we did not... More

As you rightly say this was a first for us in that,despite offering dinner to guests who are staying with us for nearly ten years now, we have never offered lunch before so it's really encouraging to us to have such positive feedback. We must also thank you for being... More

Wow what an amazing review! We are starting to wonder if it's really about us! We are really glad that you thought so highly of the food. We use a lot of local artisan food producers and try to let the ingredients speak for themselves so feel that we have to share any credit with our suppliers for making such... More

“What an amazing experience!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 July 2012

What a wonderful afternoon we had today. I gather lunches are not the norm at the Old Rectory and this was a one-off - but how wonderful it was. The location, building, ambiance and hosts were all incredible; relaxing and welcoming just doesn't sum it up. The food, on the other hand, was beyond words - "beautiful" "exemplary" and "delicious"... More

“The most incredible weekend away”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

My partner and I travelled from London to Boltongate to spend my birthday weekend, in October 2011. From start to finish, the experience was faultless - by far the best weekend trip I have ever taken. Gill and David could not do enough to ensure we were comfortable, happy, taken care of. The house has been furnished to an exceptional... More

“This is so good we should keep it a secret!”

This has got to be one of the best B+B's in the UK. The rooms are wonderful with exceptionally comfortable beds, beautiful bed linens and calm, stylish decor. David and Gill are the perfect hosts and have taken time and trouble to think about every detail of their offering. Breakfast is a delightful affair with amazing local produce and an... More

“A magical stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 September 2011 via mobile

The most beautiful house in the lakes!! What a hidden gem!! Tucked away in absolute tranquility but close enough to Access Keswick. The hospitality was faultless and we were made to feel incredibly welcome. Every little attention to detail makes this stay that little bit more special. We arrived to fresh lillies in our room and a tray with tea... More

“Just go you can't help but love this place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2010

My husband and I stayed just one night but wished it could have been longer. The owners were wonderful, they made everything perfect. The location is great, the house is fantastic and the dinner was Michelin equivalent. We loved the fact that children aren't invited it's the way it should be for such a romantic getaway. We will be returning... More
