The staff are absolutely superb - friendly, professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Richard, the owner and chef provided meals of an excellent quality, so much so that we didn't want to go elsewhere to dine. We would like to praise Richard, Ed, Angela and Lesley to the hilt!
Our room was beautiful but a little chilly even with the radiator on. However, this didn't spoil our stay at all.

The property is located in a spectacular part of The Lake District. The views are beautiful. There are some amazing walks - for different capabilities - near by and for varying distances. The staff could not do enough for you - nothing was too much trouble. And definitely eat there … Richard and Steve are amazing chefs. We will be visiting time and again as it is a true find ✨🌸✨

Lovely property located in the Lake District and a convenient drive to Keswick and Ambleside. It was beautiful decorated for Christmas and gave warm cozy country house vibes. We were greeted with warm scones and tea by the fire. We stayed in the Mountain View room and we woke up to a beautiful scenery in the morning. Overall a good stay and the staff was lovely so highly recommended!
Breakfast was good and but could be improved to include more options for vegetarians. The English Breakfast didn’t have any hash browns or baked beans with it.

It was located in the most stunning and peaceful of places. And because it was small and intimate, we felt as though we were looked after really well. Richard and his staff went above and beyond to make sure that we were comfortable. The food was delicious and we will definitely be going back.
We didn’t realise that we had booked the attic room, as we wanted a room with a bath. And as my husband is 6ft 4, it caused a few sore heads. Next time we’ll know better.

We liked getting tea and scones at arrival. We liked the breakfast. We liked the welcome that was received from all staff. We liked the quiet nature of the place.
We were in the green room and the people above us walked around their room a lot and the ceiling creaked a lot as they did so. My wife said they were walking about in the early hours of the morning as well. There's not much the owners can do about this but it did knock a couple of points off an excellent stay.

Where do I start? The ladies are wonderful and there for every need. Behind the scenes is the owner Mr Richard Lee, chef extraordinaire. Each night he conjured up some lovely food. The lounge is great with the real fire and an opportunity to chat to other guests, we made some friends this weekend. The room was great with amazing views. Highly recommended.
There is literally nothing not to like about Ees Wyke!

We were immediately welcomed and given a tour of the beautiful building, including the garden and the two lounges. Everywhere was kept toasty thanks to the fire places, and there were lots of books and board games available to pass the time. Our room was spacious, clean and kept supplied with lush hot chocolate, tea, etc. We had a fantastic view of the lake too. The staff were absolutely wonderful and couldn't be more helpful. Had a lovely chat with Ed one day, then Angela the next! The food was fantastic, I would highly recommend grabbing at least one dinner there, and definitely go down for breakfast every day. Wonderful selection, and exceedingly tasty. Incredibly cooked by the owner and solo chef, Richard!
Nothing! The country roads are a bit trecherous at nights, and we came down on the tightest roads on the first night, but Emily was quick to recommend us the alternate, safer, route. Be careful on your GPS!

The room was great, with lovely views of the the lake and surrounding hills. The bed was very comfortable, the shower good, and the food very good. The hotel is in a beautiful location and ideally placed for exploring the southern half of the Lake District.
It is expensive for a Guest House with limited hours for serving breakfast and dinner, and no room service.

A cosy country house that was beautifully appointed to fit in with the era when Beatrix Potter lived there! The meals were exquisite. Richard, owner and chef, produced wonderful meals! Thoroughly recommend both the hotel and food! Bedroom was lovely and bed comfortable. The hotel was warm and staff very friendly and helpful.
Nothing to dislike.

We booked this hotel as it was close to where my hubby proposed and it was our 14th wedding anniversary. The views were truly spectacular. Just breathtaking. The rooms were lovely, clean and well decorated. Quite spacious with tea making facilities. En suite bathroom with shower. Again lovely and clean. Angela was extremely helpful and moved us to a different room on request as I wanted a lake view room but hadn't ordered one in the original booking. The dinner in the evening was excellent and the waiting staff couldn't have been more helpful. The breakfast was sublime. Beautifully cooked and presented. Orange juice was freshly squeezed and the breakfast buffet was one of the best one ever had. I am definitely booking again.
There was nothing I didn't like. I don't know if there was a lift, so not sure if it would be suitable for non mobile wheelchair users. That is the only thing I can think of.
