We arrived on a beautiful evening in the middle of the lambing season. The field under our window was full of new born lambs which was absolutely delightful. WE enjoyed walking from the farm gate moments from some of the most stunning views in Borrowdale. The hospitality was superb. We had the residents lounge with its huge log burner to... More

You are in for a relaxing comfortable stay. This is a gem in Borrowdale showing life on a real live farm. Bedrooms are simple but comfortable and warm. We have been coming for the past 10 years and will continue to do so.

We stayed for 3 nights in March at this Farm and had a great time. Our room was Armboth, ensuite with a huge bath and plenty of hot water for a good shower. If you ask for the folding bed as we did, the room is a bit snug for three people. Very clean. Great views and central location, close... More

We received a warm welcome from Ann and were made to feel very comfortable and at home in her friendly farmhouse. The animals on the farm were a great discovery for our 8 year old who enjoyed putting the sheep away with Ann's youngest sons one snowy evening. The log fire in the lounge was a perfect spot to sit... More

We stayed here in Feb 2012 and it was a lovely time. The only things that I would say are that the rooms are very small, smaller than you'd expect when looking at the photos. And the bathrooms aren't exactly glam. It certainly did the job though and there was plenty hot water for a Beth which made me happy.... More

We recently stayed at Ashness Farm and found it through very helpful directions supplied by Ann. However, be prepared that if you have anything other than an average car you will not easily get over the very narrow bridge on the way to the farm. We have an Audi A3 which was just about ok. be prepared for that. The... More

This is what I imagine under "good old England". Stylish farm with a lot of animals around and very nice atmosphere. Our room was a bit small, but it was no problem. Very silent place, the only voices you here are from nature. Breakfast was good, also internet connection was nice surprise, most of another places like this one don't... More

We arrived here straight after doing the Via Ferrata at Honister, in the very heavy rain. So it was so nice to be welcomed into a traditional farmhouse with the log-burner roaring away in the sitting room! Our room (Catbells) was very nice, as was the en-suite (huge bath). The annex of the room might perhaps house the boiler? Or... More

On arrival we were overwhelmed by the farm particularly the stunning and picturesque location but above all the wonderful and warm welcome we received from Anne and family. We could not have wished for more during... More

You need to park carefully in the yard next to this lovely whitewash farmhouse lest you run down the hens ranging freely over the stones. These lay for your breakfast,the eggs shells assiduously dated in pencil to ensure their freshness. This is characteristic of our hostess,Anne, whose eye for detail and thoughtful organisation ensure your stay is wonderfully comfortable.Should you... More
