The Wayside and Whisky Barn

Fantastic - sums this stay up. This was a great little find. So delighted with our stay at this property and could not have asked for more. Friendly, caring staff throughout every part of our stay. Nothing was too much trouble. Every last detail was given to us. Email correspondence before we arrived. Would love to keep this place to ourselves, but need to share it with you as well.

I was made to feel welcome upon arrival, and shown to my room. It was clean, warm and had a relaxing as well as peaceful atmosphere. The interior decor of the bathroom and bedroom was quite trendy too. There were plenty of pubs to eat in, although one feels charmingly in the middle of nowhere. There was a good breakfast to wake upto the next day and enjoyed chatting away to the Hostess who was interesting to speak to and informative. All in all I enjoyed the stay and it was good preparation for climbing Black Combe after breakfast. A good day out!

Lovely overnight stay

Bad weather didn't stop us enjoying a very relaxing stay. Impeccable service. Exceptional breakfast. Nothing was too much trouble. Spotlessly clean. Highly recommended. Will definitely stay again, hopefully with better weather next time. Thank you very much.

Property was clean, excellent bar, brilliant breakfasts, Staff pleasant and helpful .Easy local walking We found our bed was too small Problem with no shoes upstairs Beautiful oak staircase but was slippery in stocking feet Full marks otherwise Many thanks to Emiko and Doreen

My wife and I stayed at The Wayside for a couple of nights to explore a bit of the Lake District. It was the perfect base. Our host Emiko and her staff were very pleasant and welcoming. Our en suite room was large and airy with a view towards the nearest Fell. Everything in the, spotless, room was well-appointed and functioned nicely. We had one evening meal and two breakfasts there. All of which were made to a very high standard. The highlight for me, as a whisky drinker, was not only the impressively large array of whisky brands available in The Whisky Bar, but also Emiko's ability to provide her tasting guidance for every whisky there from memory. We highly recommend this place as a wonderful establishment from which to explore this beautiful corner of England.
