Buckle Yeat Guest House

We have been staying here for years and we have never been disappointed! Rooms are clean and comfortable, breakfast is superb, Robert and Helen always make us feel welcome and valued guests. Please don’t retire!😊

We have been visiting Buckle Yeat for over 30 years and it is still as delightful as ever.

Robert and Helen are wonderful hosts and nothing is too much trouble. We are already looking forward to our next booking.

If you can get booked in to this little place, you are guaranteed the best service, a fabulous quality breakfast and comfortable rooms and beds. What more could you ask for? Oh yes a log fire for those rainy days that are synonymous with the The Lake District. Robert and Helen are wonderful hosts and nothing is too much bother for them even asking for jam at teatime or newspaper to put inside your wet boots! We love our stays at Buckle Yeat and look forward to going as often as we can. Can't recommend this place highly enough.

We enjoyed a warm welcome from Robert and Helen on our return visit to Buckle Yeat. Our stay was comfortable and very convivial at breakfast .time . Breakfast is delicious with great choices . Buckle Yeat is perfectly situated to enjoy exploring the Lakes .

We have just returned from a 3 night stay at the buckle yeat and what a beautiful guest house it is. The hosts Helen and Robert are most welcoming and very friendly. The room was warm, cosy, and very comfortable. Helen and Robert have truly put there heart and soul in to the buckle yeat and it shows as soon as you arrive. Breakfast was delicious with a great selection to choose from and set us up for the day. I personally recommend the fruit, yoghurt and granola compote! Ooh and eggs Benedict 😁. Beautiful views from the buckle yeat. Car parking. The tower bank pub is a very short walk! Where you can dine in the evening (booking early is recommended), you can also dine in the sawery house hotel which is just around the corner. Many beautiful walks, it's such a beautiful area of the lakes. We will be returning next year, we cannot wait. ☺️

Exactly one year to the date since we last visited everything just perfect as normal, just like coming home. Bedrooms very comfortable.breakfast amazing as always. Hand sanitizer everywhere. Felt very safe again as normal Thanks for another perfect stay. Including the weather.

We have been visiting here for over 30 years and the welcome from Robert and Helen is as friendly as ever. The rooms are not large but are in keeping with a cottage of this size and the whole place has a lovely atmosphere and homely feel about it. To see a real log fire burning in the lounge is a delight. The breakfast is beautifully prepared and presented and starts the day on a positive note. We will certainly be back, Covid 19 permitting.  

Stayed for a few days for the first time. We felt very well looked after, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfasts were brilliant, lots of choice and cooked to perfection. The room was comfortable, clean and well kept. Every night we returned to a cosy log burning fire, a lovely touch after a day on the fells! Near Sawrey is a quiet location and definitely worth a visit! Thankyou Robert and Helen

Everything was just perfect like always. Social distancing was in place everywhere. Helen and Robert are perfect hosts nothing is to much trouble. The rooms are really comfortable clean as always. Breakfasts again plenty of choice and well presented. Only 3 bedrooms again just like the good old days. Parking so easy and private no problems if the village is busy, which it usually is,on better times. Brilliant time as normal. Lovely guests to chat to over breakfast. Again thanks hope the season gets better for you all. Hand sanatising everywhere. The best place to stay in the lakes

My girlfriends parents had stayed at the Buckle Yeat Guest House over a number of years and on her fathers recommendation we opted to book our two night stay.

The guest house has on site parking, which can be a little tight when you have people-carriers / larger vehicles in there, but we didn't really have any issues as we first in and first out during the day.

The first thing that catches your eye is the beautiful floral arrangements around the external building, then you look out to the wonderful views of Sawrey.

The internal building has been well maintained and is it keeping of an old traditional style home, full of little trinkets, pictures and antique like furnishes (again all well kept) There is an open fire to relax in front of, which we enjoyed one of the evenings over a bottle of wine.

We were met by co-owner Robert (we didn't get chance to meet Helen, as she was hard at work creating her magic in the kitchen). We were shown to our room, informed about the keys and wifi. Not a deal breaker, but Robert pre-warned us that the wifi had just been changed and was temperamental. (We won't name and shame the provider)

We had one of the front bedrooms which had a lovely view. It was clean and well presented. You have a TV, coffee & tea making facility and biscuits. Our on-suite bathroom was rather cosy, but had all you would need for your stay in the way of toiletries, flannels and towels.

Breakfast was highly recommended and let me tell you, it doesn't disappoint. The choice, quality and quantity are excellent and just want you need for a day of discovering The Lakes / walking.

All in all, this is a very well run and established guest house, which we would highly recommend, and one which we will continue the family tradition and come back to for many years to come.

Buckle Yeat Retreat

Another wonderful week

Seal-by Approval

We stayed three nights in this charming B&B next to Beatrix Potters farm. There is ample parking for guests which is at a premium in Sawrey. The property has a very pretty garden, comfortable living area and dining room in keeping with the local area and history. Bedrooms are comfortable, clean and quiet. Breakfast is excellent and the hosts are helpful and welcoming. We thoroughly recommend this accommodation.

Charming Guest House

My daughter and I stayed here for our first two nights of our England/France trip.  This was such a warm and inviting inn.  The owners were very kind and helpful.  I would stay here again.  The breakfast was amazing.  Coming from the states you just don't receive a meal of this quality along with a place to stay for this price.  We are Beatrix Potter fans and this inn is about 10 steps from the quiet entrance.  Thank you so much for your hospitality!

Delightful stay

We stayed at this cottage for 3 nights. The hosts were very welcoming and we couldn’t fault the place. Lovely and clean and the breakfast was spot on. A home from home. Nothing was too much trouble. The only problem was looking for somewhere for our evening meal. The places nearest were all booked up so you need to book well in advance.

Lovely!

I booked for 2 nights for myself and 3 Japanese friends. We loved staying here, the location was perfect being only a couple of buildings down from Beatrix Potter's Hill Top farm and with free parking. Robert and Helen made us feel very welcome with delicious ginger cake and tea/coffee served in the lounge on our arrival. They provided lots of local information on walks and public transport if I didn't want to use the car, as well advice on booking a table for evening meals at the pub and hotel. Our rooms were tastefully decorated and extremely comfortable. Helen provided homemade biscuits each night to go with the complimentary tea and coffee. The breakfast menu was extensive including smoked salmon and kippers. Each breakfast we had was perfectly cooked and tasted delicious.

Near Sawrey is busy in the day with visitors to Hill Top but in the evening it is an oasis of quiet and tranquillity. We walked to Hawkshead and got to see Ospreys in the nest across the lake - a kindly bird watcher let us use his scope. We then caught the local bus back. We also walked from Near Sawrey up to Moss Eccles Tarn and were lucky enough to see a red squirrel.
My Japanese friends felt that staying at Buckle Yeat was the highlight of their trip to the UK  - りがとうございます (Arigato gozaimasu)
