Our latest trip to Ashness at the beginning of april was as the other ones. Excellent. The room was superbly kept and looks great with the original beams and the traditional narrow barn window looking out over the farm and derwentwater/Keswick. Anne and her family are loveley and they are always happy to offer advice/chat about the locality. Her breakfasts... More

Stunning location, interesting animals, central position to visit local area, very good breakfast. Nice room. However, room was a little damp, sheets felt a bit damp on the bed! Walls were paper thin - you could hear a conversation next door with ease. The lounge downstairs smelled a bit catty. Overall, it did the job, but I wouldn't particularly want... More

We stay several times a year in varius B&Bs dotted all over The Lake District and are rarely dissapointed. Ashness Farm was no exception.Friendly welcome from Anne and her delightful boys, a fresh comfortable room with stunning views (despite the heavy rain) a wonderful Cumbrian breakfast and comfortable visitors lounge with beautiful log stove. Ann has an eye for detail... More

Ashnes farm is situated just outside keswick in the beautiful valley of Barrowdale. When you arrive you get the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere, but have the convenience of keswick town just ten minute drive away. Its the perfect base for many walks and when you return your welcomed by a cosy guess lounge where you can... More

Two nights of rain and cloud and wonderful atmospheric weather. Lovely setting off main road, over picturesque bridge and looking out over Derwent Water. Great upstairs room and warm and welcoming breakfast room. We drove all round England and didn't strike a dud B&B or a breakfast that was less than magnificent - Ashness no exception. Friendly atmosphere, peaceful rooms,... More

This was our second visit for a family reunion. The only disappointment this time was the weather. - not something we can hold Anne accountable for! We love the location and the views, and the good walking straight from the front door. Anne's breakfasts were as good as we remembered (especially the sausages) and she was as usual very patient...

This was an excellent break. Views over Derwent Water are Wonderful. The Ducks & Chickens were perfectly behaved and added to the wonderful charm of this Farm Location. The Breakfast was fit for a king and a very fat one at that. Luckily you can walk out of the Farm straight onto one of the National Trust's walks. At last... More

Visiting from the USA (although we're Brits), we chose to return to Borrowdale where we had spent our Honeymoon in 1984. We wanted to stay somewhere which would remind us of the beauty of the area. We were delighted to find that Ashness Farm was available for our few days. The farm is in an ideal location - overlooking Derwentwater,... More

Our family strayed in two rooms at Ashness Farm whilst attending a family wedding at a local hotel. From booking to departure Sue was a perfect host, her young family were unobtrusive but a real delight when we questioned them on the workings of the farm. Breakfast was generous, tasty and unhurried. The rooms were fresh, clean and very comfortable.... More
