The Wayside & Whisky Barn

Breathtaking views, sublime service and an all round amazing experience. Our breakfast was made fresh every morning and the service was perfect. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you very much :) We booked the king room for our honeymoon. It was lovely and romantic and very private. We plan on coming again.

The Wayside is such a special place, we didn't want to leave! It's a part of the lakes we didn't know well, and it has so much to offer. From the B+B you can do a short walk to a stunning waterfall and in the other direction the beach! The B+B is so comfortable, cosy, calm and clean and Emi is an amazing host, the whisky tasting was a real experience- and I'm not someone who usually drinks whisky! Couldn't recommend it more highly and hope to be back soon. Thank you Emi and Dan!

My wife and I were fortunate enough to stumble across this superb accommodation in Whitbeck, off the beaten track and away from the crowds. What a treat it is, the Wayside is stunning, immaculately clean, and has all the charm of an authentic Lake District dwelling, but with all the comforts of a modern home. You can hike straight out of the door and catch the beautiful sea views from the top of Black Combe or beyond. Its just a short drive to all our favourite locations. I would recommend booking in for dinner, the food was divine and locally sourced. After a long blustery walk there is nothing better than returning to a welcoming place, getting toasty warm, then topping it all off with an impressive education in the worlds finest whiskys - Emi really knows her stuff! There is a part of us that wants to keep this place our little secret, but truly its just too special not to shout about. Top marks, we will be back, maybe for the Wim Hof Retreat, that would be an adventure!
