Yes, we were that couple! Buckle Yeat to the rescue. We had visited Hilltop a couple of weeks earlier and decided on a last minute visit to the lakes. We couldn't check in to our pre-booked guest house on arrival so went for a short walk alongside Windermere. Got a call regarding their plumbing problem but luckily we were able to get a room at Buckle. Had a lovely friendly welcome by Robert and, as we were booked for dinner at the pub next door, not far to trot back after a few drinks. Fantastic breakfast and the early start meant we were able to enjoy a lovely ride around the fantastic countryside before heading back home. Would absolutely recommended Buckle Yeat to everyone, thanks very much.
