Ivy House in Matterdale End Reviews

Verified Customer
19th May 2025
We had a fabulous stay! The place is so continent location wise and has so much space to comfortably fit all the guests. There are only small maintenance issues that can be easily fixed to help with the upkeep and I think some appliances had gone missing maybe through previous stays. I would recommend this place though, we were a group of girls in our 30’s on a hiking holiday.
