We have stayed as a family in both the B&B and SC flat. The location to put it mildly is 'stunning', the house is every bit the manor you imagine. As you can see from my other reviews I am not pleased or blown away easy, bit this place tops the lot. If you are staying in the B&B you... More

This is the best B&B we've ever stayed in. Simply perfect. Martyn and Lorraine are incredibly welcoming and gave us freshly baked scones and tea when we arrived and made us feel completely welcome and at home. It really felt like we had our own country house for the weekend. The house itself is splendid in a wonderful location. Our... More

What a fabulous place to relax on our walk of The Cumbria Way. The owners, Lorraine and Martyn are exceptional hosts by virtue of the homely welcome and thoughtful preparations for the following day of the walk. The welcome with homemade cakes and biscuits was even more special because Lorraine achieved it all with a broken foot, what a star!... More

This was our favorite B&B of our 3 week trip to Great Britain - and we stayed in some wonderful places!

We stayed here in July with friends for one night. We were welcomed with tea and cake on arrival. The owners were very welcoming and coped well as there were 10 of us. Breakfast the next morning was outstanding with homemade muesli, sourdough bread and a delightful banana ring served with maple syrup. We would definitely recommend Hawkesdale lodge and... More
