Every now and then, you stay in a place where the owner and the place are inseparable. This is one of those places. Rachel "is" Gillercombe B&B. She is an incredible lady whose knowledge and experience with Borrowdale are matched by her warmth and helpfulness. Our room wasn't large, and it wasn't en suite, but everything was so clean and comfortable, we felt like we were staying with our favorite aunt! And looking out our window at some of the surrounding fells was truly amazing. Rachel's amazing breakfast set the tone for a wonderful Day 3 of our Coast to Coast walk. We were honored to stay there.

Rachel is a star. Just a one night stay for me while hiking the Coast to Coast but Rachel bent over backwards to make sure all was ok. On arrival I was welcomed into the living room with other guests and Rachel was full of stories. A drink and a biscuit and all seemed very friendly. A shared bathroom but I knew that before I arrived so wasnt an issue, could be if you like your own bathroom I guess. I was checking out early to get on my way but Rachel offered to get up and have my breakfast ready at 5:30. The only landlord/lady to do so on my entire 12 day crossing. A superstar and one Ill certainly stay with again.

We stayed with Rachel at the start of our Coast to coast walk and it was for me the most memorable and most comfortable place we stayed in the twelve days of walking. It was extremely clean and comfortable home from home. Rachel was also very very helpful and as a women of the hills and traveler was very knowledgeable. Thank you so much.
