    Breakfast and dinner - the food was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The spa area was wonderful, very relaxing and the Soul Soother massage was amazing. Mine was done by Amelia, highly recommended.

    Comfy bed, lovely private bathroom, warm and friendly host and excellent breakfast. Lovely fresh fruit (not tinned!), and I really loved that the baked beans were served in their own separate dish on the side of the full (and perfectly cooked) breakfast. The grounds are lovely and the room was cleaned each day. Great selection of teas and coffee in the room too. Real treat of an experience.

    We stayed in The Ashberry Guest House in Penrith on our way from Essex to the Isle of Arran, it was ideal to break up our journey. Phil was an excellent host, he was very friendly and helpful, giving us advice on where to go for dinner. I am a coeliac and Phil and his wife had very thoughtfully put gluten free biscuits in our room, they had also got gluten free muesli, bread and sausages for my breakfast. It is so appreciated when people make the extra effort. We would definitely stay here again 😊

    We stayed at The Ginney guest house for a night. The owners very welcoming and hospitable. The breakfast was beautifully cooked and well presented. The room was comfortable and the guest house close to the lakes and a town with good pubs and restaurants.

    Historic inn with great character, good beer and food. The room was clean if a little on the small side. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was very good. The only addition we would have liked would be fruit.
