Great little break, very relaxing. Accommodation was quiet and incredibly clean. The staff were very polite, friendly and accommodating. I can’t fault the place really.
United KingdomThe pictures for this property in no way does it justice. I have never stayed in a Bed and Breakfast so immaculate and stylish. The fixtures and fittings are superb as were the staff and food. You must stay here!!
United KingdomNewly remodeled, the property is immaculate and tastefully decorated. Emiko is a wonderful host that takes pride in her attention to detail. Great breakfast, and the dinner we had the night we arrived was superb. Cozy bar with nice selection of single malts and gin.
United States of AmericaWayside is not just about the place to stay - no matter how tastefully the old farm had been converted to the first class up to date accommodation. The thing which actually makes Wayside what it is, is the experience. We spent an extraordinary week at Wayside while our hosts, Emiko and Dan were always ready to go one step further to ensure that we could enjoy everything the Lake District has to offer. Thank you very much, guys!
Czech RepublicGreat location easy to find super friendly staff great facilities and lovely food
United KingdomMy friend and I stayed in the twin bed room and absolutely loved how comfortable it was and how cute the en-suite bathroom was too. The hosts were so friendly and helpful, especially when car issues made us super late to check in. The location is perfect if you’re coming to Cumbria for outdoor activities - in our case riding at Cumbrian Heavy Horses!
United KingdomThe property is situated in a stunning & peaceful part of the Lake District. While it may be a little drive to get to the more, tourist attractions of the Lake District, it is well worth the drive through the country roads. The staff here are brilliant, welcoming and helpful. The breakfast is great, with good and tasty options for all. The rooms are comfy, warm and so relaxing. We often tried to get back to the room so we could spend more time in the property due to it being so tranquil. We really loved our stay here and can’t thank Emiko and staff for such a beautiful stay!!
United KingdomThe property itself is finished to a high standard in keeping with the original building and characteristics. Very spacious rooms and clean. The owner and staff are very welcoming and accommodating also being very knowledgeable on the local area. The breakfasts are great with continental and english breakfast and the restaurant in the evening was very good too. Lots of room to park the car.
United KingdomVery friendly and accommodating staff. Excellent dinner which has to be preordered. On main route A595.

Host Info
If you are looking for a place to relax and to explore beautiful landscapes in the Lake District without busy traffic, look no further! The Wayside is at the bottom of Black Combe, the highest hill in England, that we have direct private access up our private lane. It is a superb place to walk or cycle (mountain bikes). The quiet and long sandy beach is 5 min drive away or 25 min walk from The Wayside. It's direct access to the main road also provides an easy access to wide areas: western, central and south Lake District. It's building is full of characters with original features, yet it provides modern comfort; we have underfloor heating and slate floors downstairs and our ultra-fast Wifi ensures you can catch up with your loved one home during your stay. The atmosphere is very relaxed as is the dress code. If you want a chilled out place to stay this is the place to be with home cooked food and good wines as well as an extensive range of whiskies to sample and buy.
After living in many counties in UK and also in different locations within the Lake District, we fell in love with the location where The Wayside is. We love to share the beauty of the area with our guests and we would like to make sure that our guests have a great time during their stay at The Wayside. We are also dog owners of three dogs (two black Labrador dogs and one Czechoslovakian wolfdog), and and would like to extend our welcome to any well-behaved dogs too.
There are horse riding stables nearby both of which have beach and fell rides, the zoo is about 40 minutes away and Ravenglass mini steam train and Muncaster Castle are approx 20 minutes away. Muncaster Castle have lots of themed days during winter and summer, great fun for all the family. The kite festival is held every year at Haverigg, there are country fairs throughout the summer season, boating on the lakes, fishing, if you like the outdoor life this area is ideal to visit.
