Stayed for two nights here during our tour around The Lakes District. Karen made us feel very welcome and our room was very comfortable with a wonderful view. Great breakfast provided both mornings and the location is really good for exploring the countryside. Went down to the village pub for meals and gluten free was no trouble at all for... More

Friendly farm hosts, 5 star facilities, all on a working farm. Andrew and Karen are keen to discuss and show guests there farming operation, which is big by English standards. Once you master the local lanes, finding your way to and from the attractions is a breeze. Just don't attempt your first exploration at night, unless you have irradeesant breadcrumbs... More

We stayed for a week in June and found the farmhouse to be very welcoming and homely, with nice décor, nice comfortable bedrooms, modern ensuites – really everything you could ask for in a 5 star B&B, including a fantastic view from the window. The breakfasts were delicious and substantial and as varied as we wanted them to be. Karen... More

What an excellent B & B. Firstly I can't fault the value for money. The friendly welcome was just perfect. Karen can't do enough for you. The breakfast is outstanding and generous. The surroundings tranquil and incredibly beautiful. My only tiny criticism / request would be a better choice of instant coffee in the room. A more generously proportioned guest... More

Absolutely outstanding in every way, from the power showers to the tranquil setting, friendly owners, spotless garden, generously-equipped rooms and huge bed, and a very good price! There's even a TV in the bathroom... Absolutely faultless all round, definitely be back!

Beautiful farm house, with an outstanding flower garden. Rooms very spacious, clean and well equipped. Host was very friendly and went out of her way to make our stay memorable. Our first B&B with TV built into bathroom. Truly a royal place.

At the risk of everyone else finding their way here, when I need to be able to book for my walking trips...this is a gem of a B&B, and Karen is a fantastic hostess, who coped with ill guests and wet walking gear, recommended walks and restaurants, gave us all the phone numbers we needed and even fried the chanterelles...
