    There wasn't anything we didn't like.

    The room was perfect, had everything we needed. The breakfast was amazing, and a great way to start your day off. It's a working farm, so we got to see some of the animals which we loved. The people that run it were just so friendly and made the stay so comfortable. We would go back again.

    Breakfast was great. Host was very friendly, she made every effort to make our stay as pleasant as possible despite her gruelling work schedule with their farm. Good walks straight from the door and a nice pub down the road.

    The local buses aren't very regular or reliable so bear this in mind.

    It was clean and well-stocked. The breakfast was amazing (the mushrooms were particularly incredible). The location was good, there's a small outside area with seating which was perfect for stargazing. It was right next to a bus stop to Keswick which was very convenient.

    The bed was a little bit small for two.

    The place is spacious and had fridge, a sofa, an arm chair, a kettle and ... . The view is absolutely beautiful. I would be happy to sit on sofa and just watch sorrundings through the window for hours. Breakfast was really good.

    I have no major complaints. Water pressure in the shower was a bit low but it wasn't a big problem.

    My double ensuite room was really a self-contained studio flat. The kitchenette was excellent, allowing me to prepare lunches for my daily fell walks and also my dinners in the evening. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, milk, juice, and cereals were all supplied. There was a very good cooked breakfast each morning. Stybeck Farm is conveniently located between Grasmere and Keswick so a good location from which to explore the Lake District. The setting is lovely and peaceful; it is a great place to stay if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of the towns like Ambleside and Keswick.

    We knew we were staying on a working farm but the sounds of daily farming life did not bother us at all. The only disturbance were the farm dogs who do bark during the night and are loud enough to wake you. If this will bother you, do not stay at the property. If you like having chickens, guinea fowl, goats, sheep, horses and donkeys close by, this is the stay for you.

    The location was beautiful and we walked each day on a different route from the property, with many walks still to explore. The bed was comfortable and the facilities were clean and all that we needed, with a few extra additions in the fridge such as milk and juice. The little area outside to sit was enjoyed. Louise, the owner, was very knowledgeable and helpful about walks, roads to use and local places to try. She always made time for a chat. We very much enjoyed Thirlmere, not an area we had previously spent much time exploring. Thank you Louise for helping our son to organise this for our silver wedding anniversary.
