Simon and Glynis are not only professionals running a deservedly successful business but also amateurs in the original sense of clearly enjoying what they do. It's a powerful combination.

The hospitality is second to none, and the food is truly amazing so many outstanding dishes. Our bedroom overlooked the fells and was light, airy and spotless. I would recommend Oak Bank to everyone, you will not be disappointed and will return again and again.

Love the little touches, the sherry, fresh milk. The food was once again outstanding, delicious and beautifully presented. We had a lovely stay,... More

As another reviewer has already said, the reviews seem to fall into two categories: "the vast majority of guests find it excellent, but a very small number find it very poor". I fall into the latter category and would not return. My husband and I stayed for one night in September 2012 whilst on our way home from The Borders,... More
