We are looking forward to our 41st season. Our thanks to all our customers, old and new for making our celebratory 40th anniversary year memorable and enjoyable, for their continued support, kind words of encouragement and appreciation.

We are again very proud to have retained our place amongst the AA's 'Inspectors' Choice Hotel' Red Star hotels, this is for the 6th successive year and for the 12th year we have received a Rosette for our meals, thanks to the continuing efforts of Andrew, Mark, Bruno and Anna, in fact all of our staff, upstairs and downstairs.

Our major project this winter (phase 41 of our refurbishment plans) is the revamp of rooms 2 & 3, will it never end!
Room 2: we are starting from scratch, out go the old shower room, sink, loo, shower, tiles, fireplace... WALLS, leaving a blank canvas, presenting us with the opportunity to remodel the entire room, creating a more luxurious shower room and a spacious, comfy, designated single bedroom.
Room 3: Out goes the old suite from the shower room to be replaced with a lighter, brighter more modern affair. Combined with redecoration in the bedroom we hope to create a cosy & relaxing room.

Back in the 19th century, the pace of life was a little easier than it is today. In Victorian times, elegance, comfort and spaciousness were the order of the day. Clare House combines this feeling with modern amenities and facilities to provide a relaxing and charming haven in which you can enjoy a break.

Your hosts, the Read family, offer a feeling of 'Country House' hospitality, ensuring that all of their guests receive the very best in personal service. The food, which is acclaimed throughout the region, is only one of many reasons why guests return time and time again, meeting old friends and renewing their love of the breathtaking scenery in this idyllic corner of the lakes.
