We just stayed with Rachel during day 3 of our Coast to Coast walk. She was an excellent hostess, welcoming us at the door, getting us quickly to our room, and then providing hot tea and biscuits after our shower. She gave us a great recommendation for dinner, provided more coffee later, and then sent us off the next day... More

I was hoping this would be a lovely place, and I was not disappointed!. Situated in the heart of Borrowdale, and right on the Coast-to-coast route, this was the perfect spot to find ourselves, wet, cold, muddy and tired after the second day of our walk. Rachel took all our wet stuff and washed and dried it in short order.... More

We loved Gillercombe, Rachel is such an interesting lady, and the house is spotless. She has walked the Coast to Coast, and knows exactly what walkers need to make their stay perfect. Great breakfast, and huge packed lunch provided. More

Rachel welcomed us with tea and had everything set up for us already. The rooms are nicely appointed and have very nice views over the valley. Having access to a large bathroom after a long day of hiking did wonders. Rachel also provided us with key recommendations for dinner and the next day's hike. We departed with a hearty breakfast.

We stayed at GILLERCOMBE whilst undertaking the coast to coast walk. We were welcomed by Rachel with tea and a lovely selection of biscuits. The rooms aren't ensuite but the facilities are good and immaculately clean. Rachel was very helpful with our wet boots and coats and they were dry by morning. We were asked what time we wanted breakfast... More

There seems to be two opposing views on this B&B judging by the reviews to date - and as a seasoned B&B user, I am firmly in the positive camp. First, if en suite facilities are essential for you, then avoid - simply because there are none. They usually rate highly on my list but the facilities are good otherwise... More

I arrived at this haven with 3 other kiwis and our friendly hostess presented us with a nice cup of tea and biscuits. We stayed the one night on our coast2coast journey. Very homely place in a peaceful setting. Nice bright bedroom with shared bathroom, very clean. Our hostess made us very welcome, as did her right hand man [pet... More

This is the ladies house and she keeps it to a very high standard. Take time to have a chat to the owner as she has had a very interesting life which will surprise you. More

We actually stayed in the camping field thats about two hundred yards away that she also own and although the toilets are really really rough in the camping field, on passing her on the early morning, we were very promptly offered and delivered a much needed cup of tea and 2 packed lunches for the journey. Thanks for being so... More
