Great room for 4 people en suite (couple + 2 kids)...with great views ! Very comfortable, excellent breakfast. By far the best B&B we have been in for the Lake District. A very friendly atmosphere. The kids say thanks for the trampolin ! Pedro, Quique, Katie & Nacho Altafulla SPAIN more

We have been to the Lake District on several occasions and had many memorable experiences. This is the best B&B accommodation that we have stayed in. We were lucky enough to stay in the "new room." It was beautifully decorated, with an adventurous streak!! The quality of the breakfasts and the hospitality are well documented and accurately portrayed. Deborah even... more

I have been in contact with Highside Farm owner Deborah for 3 weeks We waited to book as she said she had a great new room being finished and she could send pictures when it was done in a week. We went on holiday and 16 days later still no picture. After we returned from our holiday away, I then... more

Thank you for taking your time to put such an offensive reveiw about us. In response to your negative reveiw unfortunately I can not hold rooms while people decide which room they would like to stay in. As I can not send pictures before rooms are completed! If a booking had been made at the initial point of enquiry this...

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at High Side and have every intention of returning. The farm was very welcoming and comfortable, the rooms were delightful and exceptionally clean. Nothing was too much trouble for our host, Deborah, who cooked lovely breakfasts and provided packed lunches fit for a king. After a hard day's walking it was wonderful to spend the... more

The bedrooms are all exquisite,warm and comfortable and our room had the most wonderful views over the fields across to Lake Bassenthwaite.We were fascinated to watch Martyn(and... more

This was our third stay at the farm, and it never fails to please. The other reviews have said it all - welcoming, relaxed, immaculate - but we all want to keep it our little secret! We are already planning our fourth visit next Spring, and will probably keep coming until either Deborah gets bored of us, or our legs... more

Have just returned from a wonderful 3 night stay at Highside , the breakfasts are fantastic and Deborah will make Packed Lunches if you need them. The bedrooms have wonderful views, the room we stayed in overlooked Bassenthwaite Lake. Despite living only a couple of hours drive away this is only the 2nd time we have been to the Lakes.... more

Highside Farm is a small, 3 bedroom bed and breakfast ,set on a working farm overlooking Bassenthwaite lake near Keswick. The welcome from hostess, Deborah was warm; she booked us in at the local pub in Bassenthwaite (The Sun) for evening meal which we would definetly reccomend! (Massive portions I can assure you!) She even offered to take us to... more

From the warm welcome received on arrival our stay at Highside Farm was second to none!! The en-suite bedroom was luxurious but yet homely at the same time and the views were out of this world. Even though Martyn and Deborah were extremely busy with the lambing season on the farm they kindly gave us a quick look in the... more

We heard about this location from friends and we were not disappointed. Deborah Mawson made us feel very welcome and the accommodation was comfortable and relaxed. Breakfast was a highlight! The location is superb with fantastic views over Bassenthwaite Lake and plenty of walks within easy access. We will certainly be returning for a longer stay later in the year! more
