“Ewe will love this B & B!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

Perfect, perfect location, friendly welcome and service. With no TV or mobile reception we felt delightfully detached from our stressful work life... as if stepping back in time. The rooms were comfortable and traditional in style. The breakfast was lovely... incredible bacon! Also our packed lunch included Herdwick lamb pasties - delicious!
Excellent value for money and an escape from modern life!

“Simply Perfect”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011

Perfect location, lovely welcome, and no TV or mobile reception - what a treat. in the evening when the walkers dissipate, I had my first proper experience of "quiet" With nothing but the distant sound of river water, it was probably the most peaceful place I have ever been.

“Great B&B in a wonderful location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2011

This is a great place to spend the night on the Coast to Coast walk. The rooms are comfortable, and traditional in style. There is a peaceful lounge to relax in, and no TV - perfect. The breakfast is lovely, and they offer a good packed lunch too. The Flock Inn tearoom is part of the farm, and serves tea and delicious fat free (!!) cake, as well as light lunches and other snacks. For evening meals there is the nearby Riverside Bar at the Scafell Hotel.

Room Tip: Ask for a room with a view down the valley.

“A perfect stop on the Coast-to-Coast Walk”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 August 2011

The Flock Inn tea shop was really great, especially after a day walking. The B&B just across the path was also fabulous. The room was really lovely and quiet, warm and with great en-suite facilites. Breakfast the next morning could not have been better, we were treated like 5-star guests! We would definately stay again and take family or friends.

“B&B in perfect location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 July 2011

person found this review helpful

Well organised farm B&B with very good breakfasts and substantial packed lunches. The farm tea shop is across the lane. The bedrooms are very clean and fitted with traditional furniture. The views across Borrowdale are suberb. For a true taste of the Lake District it's difficult to beat.
