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.

Great place to stay

Lovely hotel with an amazing range of Whisky. Breakfast was really good and decent portions. If you can, book dinner while staying here, as it's delicious and nicely leads into some whisky tasting. Emiko was a fantastic host. Very attentative and provided some great guidance on local walks and restaurants.

We loved the wayside whiskey barn. We had the twin room which was tastefully decorated. The whole place was real class. We had a full english for breakfast which was delicious. Emiko was a lovely lady . She let us book in a bit earlier. She went out of her way for anything that you would need. We would definately go back for a return visit.

Lovely B&B on the West side of the Lake District. Beautifully restored farmhouse with an excellent whiskey bat - have to admit to trying the bespoke Gins rather than Scotch. Will return.

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.

Lovely location & plush room

Perfect location to explore the peaks Lake District or the beaches of Millom. We hiked up Scafell Pike and the drive to and fro was just 40 mins. The room itself was gorgeous, tastefully decorated and very plush. Lovely owners, very courteous and helpful and accommodated our last minute booking and late checkin/checkout requirements without a fuss. Totally recommend the stay here to getaway from the humdrum of city life!

Amazing stay at wayside - the room was absolutely beautiful, and the hosts were amazing. They told us all about local hiking trails, and how to get to the gorgeous beach only 5 minutes away. Loved the whiskey bar - and the breakfasts were delicious :)

Beautiful cosy accommodation with generous rooms

Beautiful place. We stayed in the annexe which had a roll top bath - amazing! Very comfy bed everything you could need including bubble bath for a long soak. Breakfast was lovely all fresh cooked produce - very cosy place. We will be returning and we will also be sampling more of Stephens whisky collection!

Come by the Wayside!

This place is such a gem that this is the first time I have ever reviewed a place I have stayed at! Steven and Lynne are lovely and nothing is too much trouble. They have restored the place to an extremely high standard and location wise, it's right next door to The Lakes but without all the traffic and people! The local beach goes on for miles but you'll be lucky to see a handful of people on there, which adds to the tranquility of your stay. And the Whisky Barn...Wow, just Wow! I will be back!

Boutique style hotel at B&B prices.

For accommodation with only 4 rooms this hotel offers every facility that ten plus room establishments do. We stayed in the annex and I was not only impressed with the standard of the room finish but also the added extras , like bone china cups, bottled water and slippers provided. The food was all freshly prepared and made to order by the in house chef and every dish was cooked to perfection.

unforgettable

Beautiful scenery. Very tastefully decorated. If you like natural touches like wood and stone this is the place for you. Comfortable beds with lovely linens. Everything was kept clean. Good food although it would of been nice to be able to get food later in the evening and more selection. But it is a b & b so evening food is a bonus.
