This is hospitality the old fashioned way. Not too obtrusive - they aren't hovering around the whole time but everything you could want is there for the asking. Breakfasts are delightful and there is a fully stocked larder of food and anything you could need for a packed lunch in the fridge. You can help yourself and here is the... More

Originally phoned to book the Woolpack but offered Stanley House as it was a last minute booking for a Bank Holiday weekend - wow, what a find! Very helpful booking experience, totally flexible around room and check-in; all that was asked was that we ring an hour before arrival to be let in as property is unmanned gving complete independance...

I recently stayed at this excellent Bed and Breakfast which I used as a base for some biking and hiking in the Lake District. I found the beds very comfortable, the welcome from the staff could not have been better and the breakfast was excellent. I would highly reccomend the little trip on the steam train (you even get your... More

Found this B&B on Late Rooms but booked direct. The curent owners acquired the place only last September and have obviously spent money on fixing the place up. Everything was bright and very clean but cosy at the same time. My room was airy and comfortable with a nice view accross the grounds. All amenities you expect were provided; tv,... More
