We stayed here for 2 nights while visiting family in the area. From first arriving until departing, the owners were great. They were very welcoming and very attentive. The breakfast which you 6 the night before was fabulous 👌 The room was excellent with a good king-sized bed and a single bed with an additional bed underneath, so great for a family. Would definitely stay again. The only negative and might I say a small negative, which is no fault of the owners and did not ruin the stay, was the footsteps from the upstairs room which you can clearly hear and from 6am until 8:30am I think they were trying to get their daily steps in lol like I said did not spoil the stay as we just laughed about it

Having previously stayed in one of the B&B rooms at the Ginney we knew the standard of one of their holiday cottages ‘Buttercup’ would be high and we were not disappointed. It was clean and warm and cosy. We also returned as we required use of the EV charger now available at the property. Loved the cow theming in the cottage in a nod to the buildings former use as the farm’s cattle byre. Linda and Philip were very welcoming again, but not intrusive. Great location for visiting many places in the lake district, an area which we love to visit with so much to see and do.

Sadly we only stayed for one night whilst on our way to Scotland. This place is absolutely spotlessly clean with very welcoming hosts. The room was spacious and well equipped and the breakfast was fresh, tasty and there was plenty of it. Would thoroughly recommend a stay here and we will certainly visit again.

This place is lovely. We stayed to take part in a charity trek, requested a room with a bath and got that no problem. Room spotlessly clean with lovely little seating area outside. Linda and Phillip are super helpful and friendly. Breakfast menu, plenty to choose from and well organised..sadly I didn't get to enjoy it due to being poorly, but hubby loved it. A big thank you for letting us stay on an extra hour to recover a bit more. I really don't want to put any negatives, but only thing we found was the noise from other rooms..walls paper thin..really just to note incase you are a light sleeper! But highly recommended.

We only stayed the one night on our way to Orkney. Definitely one to remember! Spotlessly clean, greeted on arrival, spacious room nicely furnished and a perfectly cooked, quality breakfast! Breakfast room is fascinating with lots of history showing its original use
