to get started.

Judith was a lovely host, with great suggestions on places to visit. Our room was terrific, with the most enormous bed and the breakfasts were delicious.

Felicity, Australia

Lovely quiet village, walking distance to a lovely pub where we had our evening meals. Our breakfasts were excellent. Lovely big bed with comfortable pillows. Judith was welcoming and lovely.

Soni, Australia

The breakfast was brilliant couldn’t fault it in anyway, and they catered for our 12m old with no problem. Very friendly service and environment.

Family, United Kingdom

Private, lovely and friendly locals and a wonderful restaurant.

Peter, United Kingdom

Comfortable hotel with a very comfortable bed. A lovely cooked breakfast, the owner, Judith, is a friendly host, who was happy to meet all of our requests. We were spoilt on arrival with a pot of tea and delicious lemon cake. In our bedroom was bottled water, and all of the required items for hot drinks, with delicous home baked shortbread, chocolates in a dish too, a nice touch. There was a nice well stocked bar open to us in the lounge when we wanted to relax with a nice drink. We would definitely return if in the area again.

Catherine, United Kingdom

Everything as expected - Judith the owner was nothing short of Brilliant and the House is a lovely relaxing place. An added bonus is the local Pub - good beer and Homemade Food. Thank you Judith for being an excellent Host and would love to stay again.

Peter, United Kingdom

Clean rooms with excellent facilities. Judith is great, friendly and makes your stay just like home, very hospitable and welcoming.

Charming owner with homely invitation to her property. All care and attention given.

First of all Judith, our hostess, was amazing. On arrival we were shown to our room, a triple (3 singles), which were extremely comfortable. The bedding and pillows were very high standard. Then we were taken to the lounge of the former vicarage, where tea/coffee and cake was served. The lounge as with the whole of the property, had a real Victorian look and feel to it. Very tastefully furnished with many a reminder of an age gone by. We slept fantastically well and were then treated to beautiful breakfasts. Vegetarians and meat eaters were catered for equally well. Nothing was too much trouble, with more toast, tea and coffee available if needed. Our room had lots of storage space and was kept lovely and warm. The house has a small bar area and ample on-site parking. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and wouldn't hesitate to go back again. Thanks for a very enjoyable stay.

“We loved our hostess who took excellent care of us and is an outstanding cook. We loved the view across rolling pastures divided by stone walls toward the northern fells of the Lake District. We found the bed and arm chairs in our room exceptionally comfortable. We loved the house, a former vicarage, and its interesting history.”
