“Sheila is the kindest and most attentive of hosts, making tea on arrival with home-baked cake!”
The breakfast is the best we've ever had....fresh fruit salad, deliciously fresh home-baked bread, and everything locally sourced and of the highest quality. Thanks Sheila! X

“A wonderful place to stay”
We had a delightful stay at lovely High Wray Farm in the beautiful Lake District. Sheila is a wonderful, warm and welcoming host who really looked after us. She provided a delicious generous breakfast and lovely little extras like tea & cake. We loved staying here.

“Amazing stay!!”
The property was perfect. There was absolutely no faults. Sheila was an amazing host with a cracking smile and very welcoming. The breakfast was exceptional, the location was great, the views were amazing. If you like walking, then this will be a great location to walk down to the lake and walk up to Wray castle. The pictures below tells you all. A typical English cottage is what’s needed.

Beautiful location on a quiet lane west of Windermere. Shiela was an extremely friendly host. Short distance from Hawkshead which has a few pubs and places to eat.

“Fulfilled all my understand expectations.”
Breakfast was fabulous and service perfect. The old fashioned style of the building and decor was perfection for me. Sheila was a fantastic host, friendly, helpful and communicative. Always available either on site or at the end of the phone. I was very happy that there was no tv in the room, but I point this out. Tv is in the lounge/breakfast room. No food or supplies within easy walking distance but a 15-20 drive to Ambleside or Hawkshead providers all you might need. The location, scenery, comfort and friendliness more than compensates to any of the other facilities you may feel are missing.
