We spent a long weekend at Summer Hill Country House and found it to be a place where you could really get away from it all. This was the first time we went to the Lake District and we were not disappointed It is a bit further out from the hussle and bussle of the towns in the lake district... more

If you are looking for a B&B in the Lake District, this is where you would want to stay. The location is superb. It overlooks the meadows and is a good base for walks in the countryside (most notably the beautiful Tarn Howe).It is close to Ambleside, Windermere and Coniston. The B&B itself is an oasis of peace and the... more

Stayed at Summer Hill last weekend with my family and it was BRILLIANT - to say the least !! The place is gorgeous and extremely well-maintained. It is situated near Hawkshead (~10 mins drive from Ambleside) - away from all the crowds and the hustle (but making it necessary to have a vehicle to get around easily). The owners ,... more

“Best vacation ever!” shout my children, and my wife and I agree. We’ve just spent a week at Summer Hill Country Guest House, a B&B in the heart of England’s Lake District. Summer Hill’s physical facilities are outstanding: beautiful views, gorgeous rooms, high speed internet, bazillion channel TV, and large movie collection. The food is wonderful and many little touches... more

Amazing place to stay! We have stayed at numerous B&Bs in Ambleside and Summerhill totally outclasses them all, without a doubt. From the welcome to the amazing facilities, to the individually decorated rooms and the amazing breakfast. I couldn't recommend this B&B more highly. Don't stay anywhere else. more

I fell in love with the location as soon as I saw the house and was delighted to find the interior of this lovely country property more than matched its stunning position. It has been lovingly and tastefully restored and we were welcomed with fresh cakes and tea by 2 of its friendly owners. The individually themed bedrooms were beautiful... more

We have stayed in several B&Bs and hotels in various places but never one like this one!!!! This country house is exactly that - a house in the country, or perhaps I should say a 'home in the country' because the owners made us feel right at home! They made our weekend very special to us! It was a very... more

We recently spent a weekend in Summerhill and I can highly recommend it for a relaxing retreat. This beautfiul old country house has recently been renovated by the current owners and it is their attention to detail that makes this place a real find. When you arrive you are welcomed with homebaked cakes, freshly brewed coffee and a wonderfully prepared... more

From the friendly welcome to the fantastic breakfast, this country house delivered the best weekend I have spent in Lakes. It is more like a boutique hotel than a B & B, with luxury touches that leave you feeling pampered. Each room is finished to a luxury standard, making the best use of limited space. The four lovely owners have... more
