An absolutely outstanding experience staying at The Bybeck. The room was exceptional, well equipped and the facilities second to none. Breakfast was superb with any requirements happily met. The drop scones are to die for. The location is fantastic and the views memorable. Last but not least, Marylin & David are very special people with a gift to make you... More

My room was lovely ,spotlessly clean and the breakfast was wonderful.Really enjoyed my stay ,Marilyn makes great chocolate cake which was left in my room one evening . Would

Stayed here for a 2 night break to escape the rat race. The location is idylic and we were greeted with a very warm welcome. The room was spotlessly clean with everything we would need including fresh milk and homemade cake. David was excellent at recommending walks for us , providing us with pack ups , and even drying our... More

Lured by the excellent trip advisor rating we decided to spend four nights at David and Marilyn's place. David replied to my email request almost instantly, not only to confirm our reservation, but also to comment on our blog (on economic policy issues - mostly on Switzerland, in German). The email exchanges felt like chatting with a friend - long... More

We've stayed in a lot of B & Bs in our time but this one wins hands down we think. The location is beautiful (2 tearooms next door and a short walk from cat bells and Derwent Water). The house is spotlessly clean and tidy and David and Marilyn are the most congenial hosts you could wish for. We felt... More

We had the good fortune of meeting David and Marilyn during our travels through Italy in 2010 and made a mental note to visit their Bed and Breakfast if ever we had the chance of travelling to the UK. This past September, we were blessed to experience the UK and more particularly the Lake District. We loved our stay with... More

All previous reviews confirmed, you will not find a better b&b anywhere, a beautiful place...in a beautiful place! Marilyn & David are the perfect hosts, David's fell walking advice comes from pure experience and Marilyns drop scones are as described in the other reviews......mouth watering...the best way to start a day...and that bacon...and those cumberland sausages...we could go on. Whatever... More

This was our second visit to bybeck, and it was like visiting friends & family. The welcome from Marilyn and David was as ever, extremely warm and sincere. It really is a home from home, with cleaniness second to none. The breakfasts too (not forgetting the all important Drop-scones!!) are top drawer, and set you up for a day on... More

Great company, food, cleanliness. lovely location the other reviewers say it all. DON'T try the drop scones and dry cured bacon - it will change your life! Professionalism yet effortless hosting that many more luxurious locations can only aspire to.
