Having read the review posted by "Nigel R of Honiton" I am ASTOUNDED, and would like to give my opinion of Old Water View. I have been a regular guest there for over 12 years and, on my last visit on 13 April, I had my first experience of Ian's new restaurant. I was delighted - I had a fantastic... More

So many reviews here praising the food so maybe we had an off day. The rooms and situation were lovely, spacious and comfortable. Ian was very informative (little bit too much maybe!) but I am afraid the food really really let this place down. We both opted for the beef and ale pie and were upset to get to waterey... More

Stayed at Old Water View last weekend. What a surprise for a B&B. I expected much less than I got. Ample parking so no worries about your car, beautiful quiet garden with a stream running through it and a patio area. We stayed in the La'l Gem which had a stable door with a large glass panel in it so... More

Just back from a lovely stay in Patterdale. Old Water View in Patterdale is becoming a frequent place for us to visit, it is the perfect place for a quiet time enjoying the beautiful surroundings and the quiet luxury it offers - so whether you come in the car (as we have the last twice) or are walking the coast...

Were staying at the Patterdale YHA next door and saw that they were doing food here in the evening. I think it started at 6pm. A good find - like a little oasis. There was a wide choice of menu on the boards from Pizzas to more formal starters and mains. Friendly owner - all very comfortable. Some nice food... More

Would like to thank Ian for his fantastic hospitality. Really enjoyed staying here for a night on the coast2coast walk what a divne place. This is a must for all walkers, not only that, you need not look anywhere else for food. My wife and I had a really enjoyable meal there also. Well done Ian, AW would be very... More

Stayed at lovely Old Water View with my friend mid-February. Warm, friendly welcome from the owner and we were thrilled with the facilities and cleanliness of the attractive Bothy. I already knew about the wonderful breakfasts but we were really happy to find that Ian now does home cooked evening meals. No need to go out! We quickly took up... More

Stayed recently at Old Water View in L'al Gem - wonderful views and a haven of peace and tranquility.I was delighted to find that, in addition to his superb breakfasts, Ian now offers delicious home made evening meals so I indulged myself. A wise decision! Very good choice on the menu including vegetarian meals and I gather that the menu... More

What a fantastic B & B. Not having to go to the pub for dinner was a great surprise - delicious home cooked food. Loads of choice from light bites to pizza to full meals (lamb, mash and veg, and treacle pudding were particularly good.). Room was warm, clean and comfy and a lovely place to explore. Highly reccomended.
