Booking a room in a dorm is always a risk, but I was fortunate to be the only one in the room so could make myself very much at home. It's a beautiful unique place with lots of character. The ensuite shower room was a big surprise - modern, clean and far better than you can sometimes get in a regular B&B!
I only wish I could have stayed a bit longer to make the most of the facilities and the local area. It would also be fun to come in a group.
I did not meet Denise but all the communication both online and on arrival (plus instructions in the hostel) was easy to follow and I felt safe as a solo female traveller.
Located 1 mile from Kirkby Stephen on the edge of the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales by the Cumbrian Mountains, The Black Bull at Nateby offers a bar, beer garden, tea room and a restaurant.

Idyllic spot. The pub is also a wonderful mini motor museum so there's lots to see and look at. Fabulous walking on the doorstep. A friendly welcome and nice evening meal. Proper pub grub. Our room was a little tired and dated but spotlessly clean. Thank you 😊

The Stables has good sized rooms with comfortable furniture and bed, a well equipped kitchen and shower room, a high pressure shower and heated towel rail. It is cosy and warm, very clean with plenty of local information, maps, books videos and games. The owners have thought and planned carefully to provide a lovely holiday retreat.
The only note of warning needed is to expect the power shower to be noisy, but you are warned about that in the information pack too.

This is a remote location that requires a car for access but is a beautiful area and the accommodation was lovely. Defiantly recommend a stay here.
The Black Bull in Nateby has brilliant food but need to book even on a Thursday night in late September.

Kirkby Stephen just 4 miles down the road with some lovely shops and Hawes in opposite direction 20 mins drive. Nice walks, lots to see and an ruined castle on the doorstep. Lots of places to eat and take your dog into, cafes and fish shops and pubs, yummy. The dog loved all the attention from everyone and we saw a red squirrel on the tree outside of the door. We loved the whole area, quiet, relaxing but if you wanted more it was only a short drive or walk away.

A very peaceful setting.
A very peaceful setting. Easy to get to and excellent instructions from the host for finding it.
We did not eat out, the co-op in Kirkby Stephen is 5 miles away and very well stocked. The farm shop at Tebay services is superb for local meat etc.
Good area for walking. Nice coffee shops in Kirkby Stephen for tea and cake!
