We arrived on a very nasty wet evening having driven up from the Midlands through driving rain. Seven ladies with their bikes, about to do the coast to coast from Whitehaven to Tynemouth. Mel was waiting on the doorstep for us, and whisked us inside to enjoy hot tea and home made cakes. It was just the welcome we needed... More

Lanie & Mel could not do more to make their guests feel welcome and comfortable. Their attention to detail is second to none and they deserve every success. I will definitely be staying there again More

Highly recommended. Very friendly owners. Greeted with a very welcome drink and home made cakes on arrival before being shown to our rooms. Beautiful large, airy and comfortable rooms. Spotlessly clean. Breakfast was amazing and a very good selection on offer. Only stayed one night en route but so wish we could have stayed much longer. Thank you very much. More

The Guest house looked ideal and with excellent reports. However the price given by the automated service was incorrect. Mel told me " Have no idea what had happened." however the... More

Im sorry the Expedia online booking system failed you so badly, what a shame that you have decided to take it out on us by giving us such a poor review when you have not stayed in our guesthouse? How then can you post a review stating you stayed in April? I also don't recognise the email address you have... More

We stayed in 2 of the rooms and they were clean, spacious and nice decorated. When we arrived we were offered tea and... More
