What people are saying.

  • What a magical place to stay! Ashlack Hall is an incredible home set in the most stunning surroundings and gardens. Jenna and Bobby were the best hosts, so friendly and such good cooks! Sleeping in a ginormous four poster bed, big bowls of delicious Carbonara, candlelit baths, walking in the beautiful woodland behind the house, cuddles with the gorgeous dogs (and lambs!), the incredible dining experience and lying in the hammock under blue skies with a glass of wine too full to move we’re all highlights of a perfect birthday weekend away. We couldn’t recommend this wonderful place more highly.

  • Visit Ashlack for a truly unique experience. It’s a bit like staying in a National Trust property, except nobody comes to usher you off the furniture. Jenna and Bob are warm and welcoming hosts and made us feel like they enjoyed our staying there and meeting them as much as we did. They also make incredible food from locally sourced and foraged produce. Thank you both - we can’t wait to visit again soon

  • The surroundings, the beautiful house, the animals - everything makes you want to stay longer than you intended. Jenna and Bob are great hosts, immediately it felt like these are friends and not people you just have met. Jenna gave us a big tour through the house and showed us all the exquisite furniture, paintings, even a small chapel in the middle of it all. When it came to our room in the attic, I felt like a princess. It’s difficult to describe because everything is extraordinarily beautiful. You really have to see it with your own eyes. In the evening, Bob lit a fire in the breakfast room for us and we were sat chatting for hours! Our dog was allowed to go everywhere, even on the sofa! This house is as dog friendly as you can get. The next morning, we had a wonderful breakfast, cooked by Jenna. It was really hard to say goodbye. We will definitely come back! Thank you for everything my friends!

  • Stunning setting away from the touristy hustle of the lakes, relaxed hosts who also happen to be inspired chefs and some of the most interesting interiors I have seen in a long time. We loved it and would have liked to have stayed on. A very special place indeed.

  • This place is a bit of a hidden gem and we were lucky to get a room. Jenna and Bob have put heart and soul into ensuring that it is rustic and comfortable and we managed here with a 5 month old baby without any stresses. The food was remarkably good and worth staying for. It’s refreshing to leave the big smoke and come to a place that feels like a personal reflection of the people who run it. Details matter here and the ethic is as much a way of life as it is a home from home. Would come back in a heartbeat

  • Ashlack is an amazing find in the Lakes. The atmosphere is so chilled out and Jenna & Bobby can’t do enough for you. The food they cooked was delicious; an outstanding experience in itself. I cannot recommend this place enough.

  • We’ve stayed in more than 10 AirBnBs in total, but we have never seen anything like this before. The whole place was just gorgeous – a huge house with character and great atmosphere and beautifully decorated spacious attic room. The location is great as it’s close to lakes and hikes but it’s off the main road so it’s all quiet. Having breakfast with all the perfect views of the countryside was mind-blowing and drinking beer in a castle-like living room was perfect, too. We can easily imagine spending the whole day indoors and in the huge garden looking at the beautiful countryside. Jenna and Bob were very welcoming and we enjoyed the stay so much! Thank you!

  • There are times when life surprises you in a wonderful way and this was one. We needed somewhere to stay. We booked. Then we arrived and realised we had struck gold. A beautiful and eccentric house, decorated in an eclectic but tasteful way, run by lovely and laid back people. The sun shone, we ate delicious food, walked up the hill to watch the sunset. Pinched ourselves. All so lovely, so relaxed, so real. Can’t wait to go back and eat more of Bobby’s food. Nothing but positive vibes. Wonderful!

  • What an absolute gem of a place to stay! We absolutely loved our visit and the hospitality from Bob & Jenna is second to none, making us feel right at home. The food they make is phenomenal (we ate here every night) and highly recommended. The rooms are spacious and clean and he house itself is charming, nestled in the valley with acres of land to roam around in and some great views to check out. Jenna and Bob have a great thing going here and we will be back without a doubt

  • Ashlack is simply a beautiful country house run by wonderful people. The atmosphere is very laid back and relaxed, but with the Lakes in easy reach you can be as energetic as you wish. The house itself is very comfortable and welcoming, both by the family that live there and by their hounds. With two chefs running the show, the food is of a very high standard and not to be missed. Jenna and Bob are fun, informed and helpful, as well as being great company. For those that visit with a carefree and open attitude this place is a unique gem, and for anyone wanting a holiday with their dog(s), it is perfect

  • A unique and delightful proposition. A gorgeous 17th Century Manor House with splendid gardens and impressive interiors. Jenna and Bobby were natural hosts and created some memorable food experiences! I wholeheartedly recommend Ashlack to foodies who love beautiful locations.
