The Wayside and Whisky Barn

We stayed just 1 night at The Wayside and Whisky Barn. while traveling north to Scotland. It was our first night after a long day of travel from the US and it was the perfect antidote for 2 weary travelers! Emiko is such a charming host and the accommodations were both peaceful and comfortable. The breakfast was a great way to start the rest of our journey north. I'm sorry that we didn't have a chance to explore more of the lovely area but perhaps we will be back in the future. We highly recommend The Wayside!

A delightful and peaceful stay at The Wayside and Whiskey Barn. This charming little gem was unique, classy, clean and extremely dog friendly. As my partner and I had never visited the the south west Lakes region, our trip was made better by the wonderful Emmy who advised us on many things from trips out, other eateries and the general exploration of the area. The food was delicious and fresh, locally sourced produce. The drinks were divine and the Whiskey barn added to its charm. I highly recommend this fabulous escape.

My wife and I stayed at The Wayside for a couple of nights to explore a bit of the Lake District. It was the perfect base. Our host Emiko and her staff were very pleasant and welcoming. Our en suite room was large and airy with a view towards the nearest Fell. Everything in the, spotless, room was well-appointed and functioned nicely. We had one evening meal and two breakfasts there. All of which were made to a very high standard. The highlight for me, as a whisky drinker, was not only the impressively large array of whisky brands available in The Whisky Bar, but also Emiko's ability to provide her tasting guidance for every whisky there from memory. We highly recommend this place as a wonderful establishment from which to explore this beautiful corner of England.
