Absolutely loved our stay at the Wayside, great location for the area we wanted to explore. The owners made us feel so welcome and were really helpful with information on the local area and suggested walks. The room was huge and so comfortable. Trying the gin selection (not just whisky on offer) was also great! Would highly recommend staying at he Wayside and we hope to be back again when in the area.

An amazing 3 night stay and our second visit to The Wayside. Great accommodation with amazing owners/staff and in such a brilliant location. We stayed in Ennerdale which is such a well designed room and beautiful decor. All meals were of a really good standard and the organisation from check in to check out was excellent. Communication on the build up to our stay was very good and made us look forward to our stay even more. Such a fabulous location with both beach and fells on the doorstep.

A perfect base to revisit some favourite places in Cumbria and discover some new ones with our 4 month old daughter.

A short break to enjoy the Lake District - especially it's quieter corners - with a secure and comfortable base.

Had a short, 5-night stay at the Wayside.

It was my birthday on the Friday we arrived. We were welcomed with a warm and friendly smile and showed to our beautifully furnished and ample sized room. It was spotlessly clean and had beautiful oak furniture. The food that Emiko cooked was out-of-this world fantastic. She is a lovely lady with plentiful chat and a friendly persona. Our stay was relaxing as it was planned, great hosts, great food, more than comfy room and great company. We were treat more like friends than customers...Magical.

Nearly had to cancel the booking due to a family member in ill health - very glad we decided to make the long drive back from Liverpool, it was worth it and provided a lovely calm escape, just what we needed at the time. Definitely recommend it.

Our fourth year visiting Wayside, and just as wonderful as always. Great accommodation, hosts and food. We always leave feeling extremely refreshed and relaxed. Thank you again!

Perfect excellent food especially the evening meal, simply delicious!

Wd stayed 2 nights at the beginning of July. We'd stayed at the Wayside before so we were confident that we would be well looked after and we were not disappointed. Our room was comfortable with plenty of tea and coffee, very clean bathroom en suite with shower, strong wifi, and - a big plus - a Velux skylight which had a well fitted blind to keep the early sunlight out. Breakfast was well cooked with great choices. No complaints at all.

We absolutely love staying here, it’s been our 4th time in a year and wouldn’t go anywhere else. The owner is lovely and can not do enough for you to make your stay the best experience ever. The food is delicious to all homemade by the owner. It’s our little bit of heaven!

We have previously stayed at Wayside when it had previous owners. We enjoyed our stay very much and were made to feel welcome. A map for a walk we asked about was printed and given to us which was helpful. We love the location on the Western Lakes near the coast and that is why we chose to return. Rooms are lovely and comfortable and warm and bathrooms are beautiful. We will return again in 2020.
