Forest How Guest House

A truly wonderful stay! Everything about it was delightful, from the views, the great breakfast, the warm welcome, the abundant wildlife.

With the weather set to be good for an adventure on the high fells we made a spontaneous decision to travel to the beautiful valley of Eskdale. After a Google search for accomodation we spotted Forrest how nestled below Moncaster fell on the outskirts of the lovely village of Eskdale green. We were warmly welcomed by Corrine and taken to our room with a view!! And what a view !! dual aspect windows gave for far ranging views over the fell side gardens to the mountains beyond. The room was spotlessly clean , warm and comfortable. If you're looking for peace and relaxation then you will not be disappointed. The gardens are a haven for wildlife, (don't forget you're binoculars) so many birds visiting the garden. The sight of red squirrels was a joy! Corrine and Kate were so friendly and cooked a lovely breakfast for us served in the conservatory. We had the most joyous three days staying at Forrest How. We can't wait to return .

The location is perfect. Lovely tranquil spot off the main road. To get there you cross a bridge over the enchanted narrow guage Ravendale and Eskdale railway line. The Irton Rail Road Station is beside the main road. There is an enjoyable bridal path running past the front of the house leading to numerous beautiful walk options, even without needing a car. Our room was very clean and confortable. It overlooked the garden with wonderful views. Breakfast was superb. There is an extensive selection to chose from for an individual experience. We availed of their packed lunch and was not dissapointed with the quality or quantity of what was supplied.
