“A chance find but what a gem!”

We found Summer Hill quite by chance on the internet and what a gem it is! We have recommended it to all of our friends and we will definitely stay there again when we are in the Lake District. On arrival, Patsy gave us a warm welcome with tea and a selection of her wonderful home baked cakes. Our room... More

We came from Germany to this place and had found it in the Internet. We found the house, its interior, the surrounding and the service and helpfulness by Patsy and Mike Derry so surprisingly wonderful that we stayed for some days more. And would like to go there again in another time of a year. It turned out as a... More

“a relaxing Lake District break based at a wonderful Country House”

Reviewed 6 May 2013

I've been regularly visiting the Lake District since the late 90's and have stayed at various locations. Summer Hill is clearly the best Lake District Country House that I've stayed in - a warm welcome, a cosy spotless room and a delicious breakfast all in a very peaceful setting - and nearby there are several lovely walks. In summary, a... More

“Warm welcome on a cold day”

Reviewed 12 April 2013

On a cold April day what warmer welcome could we have received that that at the Summer Hill Country House. Wood burning stove in the lounge and a most welcome cup of tea and home made cakes too. Sumptuous and maybe a little indulgent (less healthy) breakfast in front of a real open log fire. Short walk to and round... More
