Bed and breakfast holiday rentals in Allerdale District

Anita is lovely, the bed was comfy and the room quiet. This was the perfect base for a few relaxing days. And the vegan breakfast was great.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Motherby House and am so grateful to the hosts, Jacquie and David, for making me feel so welcome. They’re both kind and engaging—and they gave me some great recommendations for places to eat and visit in the area. Breakfast was delicious and Jacquie kindly made me a tasty packed lunch for my hike! I’d be very happy to stay here again.

I am not sure I can add more superlatives to my last review - lovely house, perfect location and terrific hospitality.

Beautiful warm clean accommodation . The bed was the most comfortable I’ve slept in. Bathroom was large, very clean and hot water. Julie left us a wide choice of breakfast including vegan, lovely. Very private and quiet, parking. Attention to detail was great “sheep” .

Easy enough to find, friendly host and clean comfy bedroom. Beautiful views and a relaxing stay.

This was late booking done on the day. Couldn't have asked for quicker response. House and grounds are great with table tennis and sauna available which we didn't have chance to use due to our own time constraints. Bedroom/living room/kitchen area have everything you could need. Bathroom huge and includes shower and slipper bath. Warm and cosy house, comfortable bed and lovely white linen. Highlight was sitting out watching the badgers feeding on the lawn at dusk. Wanted to see badgers for ever! Food at the pub owned by Richard was great and only minute away on village main street. Richard and Ros very welcoming and friendly. They have thought of everything, far too much to mention. Highly recommend to other guests and hope to return.

Stayed 4 days in Paul’s lovely cottage, just a short walk from Hawkshead village. The accommodations were as expected and Paul could not have been a more gracious host. He has a wealth of local knowledge and directed us on some beautiful walks. Breakfasts were fantastic! Would absolutely return in a heartbeat.

Great peaceful stay in beautiful location, opposite the marshes... a stunning sunset walk! Delicious breakfasts, Raphaela went out of her way to cater a tasty vegan breakfast. One of my favourite breakfasts in a long time! Thank you for a warm and friendly stay, would highly recommend :)

Karen's house is so peaceful and so welcoming - feels like staying at my own house.. She is responsive, looks after requirement and especially her homemade Breakfasts are to yummy.

We had a lovely night’s stay. The location is perfect for Kirkby Lonsdale, especially useful given the town itself is very short on parking. It’s a 5-10 minute walk into the centre which is ideal. Fiona provided a long list of recommendations for our stay and communicated promptly throughout. Our room was large and very well furnished. The bathroom was big and the shower excellent. The free ginger cake was great! Breakfast was lovely and so much of it - we had a Full English but fruit, yogurts, cereal and toast were also included. The price for the room was also very competitive. Why pay more for a hotel when this place has everything you could possibly need?

Very comfortable rooms and lovely hosts. The breakfast was a standout, as reported frequently by other guests. Location superb for walking into town, and the upstairs suit afforded plenty of privacy. A real winner!

We used Brian's place as a base for our lake district trip. It took about 30-40 minutes of drive to get to the hiking locations we wanted to be and this is acceptable considering the popularity of the places. Brian was a very welcoming, helpful host. The room and the bathroom were spotless clean. The breakfast was filling and more than sufficient. We are extremely happy to have picked this place and we will consider staying here in our next lake district journey.

Diane was a very responsive host and an extremely lovely person. She and Ian were very helpful, the location of the BnB was excellent, the room was lovely and clean with a comfortable bed and nice hot shower. Diane’s cooking was also incredible, we enjoyed two very lovely breakfasts. We would absolutely stay again!

Lovely family room with comfortable beds and spotless bathroom. Great spot at end or start of Hadrian’s Wall trail. Breakfast great as was the food in the Bistro in the evening. Only minor downside was room was very bright as blinds didn’t block light.

Would highly recommend staying here, I stayed here for my birthday and it was the perfect night away, tranquil, scenic and absolutely worth the money! Tobias is a class host so unbelievably friendly and accommodating!

Jayne and Karl are the most wonderful, welcoming and friendly hosts I’ve met. From the moment we arrived soaking wet from walking all day along the Hadrian’s Wall Path in the rain Jayne gave us a friendly welcome and offered to dry our wet boots. The rooms were warm, the beds VERY comfortable and the views outstanding and the peace was wonderful too. The home cooked food was tasty and cooked with great care and we opted for a packed lunch to take with us too. If you’re walking the Hadrian’s Wall Path find a way to stay here! Thank you Jayne and Karl.

Clare is a great host and a very nice person! Provided me with everything that I needed for my stay and even more! Lovely place, felt at home. Lovely dogs very friendly. Good bed, bedroom with a lot of space, good bathroom and shower, lot of space on the wardrobe, a place to make a coffee and a mini fridge. Perfect place to be!!

Tony is a kind, reliable, and responsive host who made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The house is beautifully decorated and thoughtfully furnished, creating a warm and comfortable environment. Its location is ideal: just a 10-minute walk from both the train and main bus stations, which makes it a perfect base for exploring the Lake District. We especially enjoyed not having to worry about breakfast each morning before heading off early on our new adventures. Special highlights were spending time with Smudge, Tony’s adorable and playful kitten, and admiring Tony's latest pottery creations. We’d gladly stay here again without hesitation!

Lovely stay. The hosts were very clear on check in instructions. Our room was exactly like the photos. Bathroom was clean. House was perfect location, plenty of parking and everything was in walking distance.

absolutely wonderful stay, breathtaking views and wonderful food nearby. Sarah is a fabulous host and her recommendations are spot on! thank you ☺️

Firstly, and most importantly, Sara was the most incredible host. She is a wonderful human, and looked after me perfectly. Coffee and breakfast in the morning. She arranged a seat in the sun for reading outside in the afternoon, and pre-lit the fire in the evening so the private living room was cozy on my return from dinner. And so much more. Birkenpath is a gem of a house, set in the most gorgeous nature. Large and comfy bedroom inside, and gorgeous hikes just out the front door. Don’t hesitate to book. It is among the very best of the best.

I arrived earlier than check in just to advise that I was actually there and was not a no show due to me not returning till late that night. I was given my keys and had immediate access to the room and a quick drink in the bar before I went to do my thing . A lovely place to come home to with friendly locals in the bar while I was having a nightcap :-)

we stayed at Liz and Edwards farm which was one of the most memorable experience. The place was tastefully decorated by Liz who had been an amazing, helpful and kind host serving up delicious cakes and breakfast each day, making sure we start the day right! She was extremely helpful in suggesting places to visit as well as showed us around her beautiful farm. One of the best bnb's i have stayed at and would definitely visit back when visiting the lake district. The farm gets covered by a blanket of stars at night, an ideal location for a peaceful holiday!

Good little place to stay near the start/end of the Hadrian’s Wall Path, which is a 20-30 minute walk away. Room was spacious and had a handy kitchen space.
