This place suits me perfectly with great wi-fi, outdoor dining area, and helpful staff. My first stay, they shared local info which was invaluable. I highly recommend their homemade breakfast! I'm coming back for Christmas.

The B&B offers a cozy Double or Twin room with solid beds and sufficient space for a solo traveler. It’s nestled close to excellent walking paths that provide easy access to areas like Helvellyn.

The duvet cover on the king-sized mattress felt overly thin, making for a rather chilly night — I struggled to stay warm without a proper duvet. The shower lacked power, and the bath was merely lukewarm, which left a lot to be desired after a long day. Wi-Fi reception was weak, and the common seating area on the upper floor was quite uncomfortable, reducing appeal for unwinding after a hike.

Exceptional homemade breakfast options

Our family loved the tranquil location—perfect for wildlife watching! The spacious rooms were charming, and having breakfast featuring daily muffins was delightful. Plus, exploring nearby Gowbarrow with stunning views was a highlight. Jim's hospitality kept our stay relaxed and enjoyable.

My kids wished there were more activities for them around.

We had a wonderful time enjoying the delicious homemade breakfast and the fantastic packed lunches for our hiking trips. The garden area was lovely for relaxing, with a cozy seating spot under a tree and beautiful flowers all around. A small fridge in the room would have been super handy, but it didn't take away from the great experience. 😊

Consider pre-ordering breakfast for convenience, especially if you're early risers and want to maximize your time outdoors.

pleasant stay but minor room comfort issue

The breakfast pre-order system made each morning enjoyable and stress-free. Jim's attention to detail and support made our family feel welcome and cared for.

The room could have benefited from more soundproofing.

Stunning, Stunning, Stunning

I was absolutely blown away by the rich and unique decor that reflects the owners' adventures in Tanzania, adding so much character to the place! Each morning, I delighted in an array of homemade breakfast options, especially those fresh muffins that made my days even brighter. Plus, the chance to enjoy wildlife viewing right from my window was simply magical, I was mesmerized by the charming red squirrels and local birds while sipping my coffee!

do recommend ❤️🌟

The stay was truly enjoyable, especially with the amazing homemade breakfasts, featuring delicious freshly baked muffins and excellent sausages. The location allowed for beautiful views, and we appreciated the quiet atmosphere for relaxation after our walks. the Wi-Fi connection was quite weak, which was a bit inconvenient, but we didn't let that ruin our experience. a lovely retreat in the heart of nature, perfect for making memories.

we had a lovely 2-night stay at this b&b in watermillock, where our previous visit was once again exceeded. the garden room was beautifully decorated with a comfortable bed and a lovely view of the secluded garden filled with birds. breakfast was a highlight, featuring homemade muffins and the best sausages ever!

wi-fi connection was weak

amazing views and peaceful walks near stunning landmarks

I loved watching the birds at breakfast just outside the window every morning, and the hosts were incredibly knowledgeable about the best walks and attractions nearby, which made my exploring so much easier.

Lovely stay with warm hosts

Jim and Tine were super friendly and helpful during my 2 nights here. The room was comfy, and I loved relaxing in the garden watching the birds while I had breakfast. They even helped dry my wet gear after a hike! Only thing was that the Wi-Fi was a bit spotty, but it wasn’t a big deal for me.

Private garden areas, Scenic walking trails, Unique archaeological storytelling

Weak Wi-Fi connectivity, remote location requiring driving for dining options!!! The small TV screen felt inadequate for evening entertainment, while some rooms had a basic decor that lacks character.

Recommend for a brief retreat

Charming room, delightful amenities, from spacious accommodations with a flat-screen TV and electric kettle to cozy dining in a serene outdoor area, it provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay, alongside easy access to hiking trails.

Just a great fit for a brief retreat in Watermillock with good value for money. The breakfast was incredible, especially the variety of vegan options. Make sure to ask for maps to help explore the area better.
