Lovely stay.
Pros:

Convenient if climbing Scafellpike.
The family that runs the B nd B were lovely. The negatives that I listed were for improvement only. Once it’s done, it will be great! Free parking, comfortable bed and food was briiliant. Definitely will stay here again.

Cons:

There were some facilities in the room that needs updating. Like the bathroom door that we can’t closed. The cover in the bath needs sorting out. Some dust here and there.

Sehr enttäuschend!
Pros:

Nichts

Cons:

Der "Bergblick" war der Blick auf die stark befahrene Straße, es war nicht richtig sauber, und alles wirkte billig.
Wir sind nach 10 min. Ankunft wieder gefahren.
