The Wayside and Whisky Barn

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.

Special place. This is a very special place to stay with a wonderful hostess. Lots of little touches that made our Ruby Wedding celebration extra special. The evening meal and breakfast were excellent and the selection of whisky amazed us.

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.

An amazing find in this part of the Lakes. Emiko & Dan were perfects hosts, great local knowledge on the hikes, trails and stone circles in the area. The bar is a real highlight too for whisky lovers, amazing selection of Scottish and Japanese single malts, perfect to sample after a day on the fells!

Emiko was an amazing host, helped us plot a route up Black Combe as well as providing an encyclopaedic knowledge of the Western Lake District. Room was comfortable, food was delicious and the whisky was great! Lovely place, highly recommend.

Lovely place to stay. We were made to feel very welcome when we arrived. We stayed in the large double and it was clean, very spacious and comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble for the owner or staff. The breakfast was great. A good start to the day.
