As everyone has eulogised about Hilary's cakes and welcome, will not reiterate. We opted for a better room with a view and it was a joy on the first morning to see red squirrels scampering around the garden beneath us and also to watch the antics of the lambs in the fields. Usually I do not have scrambled eggs for... More

The view from the bedroom was amazing - I had to drag myself away. The room was lovely, the shower was powerful and welcoming after a hard day. Breakfast was excellent - the welcome from the manager was lovely - even though they do not do evening meals she gave us a recommendation which lived up to the rating she... More

Visited last year and loved it so much we returned. I didn't think it could be improved upon, how I was wrong. Decorated bedroom, new bathroom, superb weather, fantastic views, pot of tea and homemade cake on arrival and still the BEST scrambled egg I have ever had. Thank you Hilary for your hospitality and recommendations. Visited the nearby Kendal... More

The room was good with an excellent en-suite... More
