Friendly landlord clean room and bathroom

It is a comfortable, clean place with all the nessasary equipment and a lovely location.

Very nice and clean cottage on a huge plot. Very nice and quiet location with good links to the sea and lakes. Stefano was a great host and cobyactable. Overall it was lovely place to stay.

Fantastic place for four friends on a weekend getaway. Stefano gave us very clear instructions on how to get there by car and self check in. The place was large, modern, clean, well-stocked and full of character. Stefano was kind enough to provide us not only with basic amenities like good WiFi, shower equipment and towels, but also some food for breakfast and even a bottle of wine! The place is quiet and located away from light pollution so we had an excellent evening of star gazing during a meteor shower. If we were to be picky, the one area for improvement would be the shower pressure, which was extremely weak (but plenty of hot water for a good bath!) All in all, extremely satisfied and impressed by the place.

if you want peace and quiet after a day out exploring the Lakes, this place is perfect. Close enough to Whitehaven for shopping/restaurants (Try Granny Wong's fish and chips) but far enough to enjoy unpolluted skies at night and fresh air. The children were delighted to see a flock of guinea fowl running through the gardens! Value was great even during the peak holiday period. Just a lovely, cozy cottage (with a fireplace) and a thoughtful host who made sure we were comfortable without being intrusive.

The house was much better than we have expected. It was clean, spacious and very quiet. It also had a character being an ancient gatehouse built in 1100's. My kids loved it. Stefano was a great host. He was very helpful when my family had an little accident on our way to the house.

Our stay in the gatehouse cottage was lovely. The cottage was warm, welcoming and very clean. Our 2 young children enjoyed staying in the mezzanine bedroom together but still had their own space and a bed each. The log burner was a cosy addition as the evenings were chilly- but we never were. We drove out each day and visited most of the local beaches and attractions- on average a 30 minute drive to each place. So the location is great. Lastly the unexpected welcome hamper of food essentials and bottle of wine was very well received. We highly recommend and hope to return again in the future.

Wow!! I stayed at the Gatehouse cottage with my 2 children and we found it accessible, comfortable, clean and fully equipped with everything to meet our needs for the duration of our stay. There was a lovely welcome of eggs, bread, milk and wine!! The host was extremely helpful throughout and answered any questions I had immediately. This cottage has a washing machine, dryer, cooker, plates, pots, cutlery and beautifully clean beds with clean towels included for our use. It was a great starting point for our first visit to the lakes and all the major places were within easy driving distance. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay there.

What's an amazing place to stay. This old gatehouse with modern facilities is exactly kind of experience we were looking for. Our host was very helpful in every details.

What can I say! What a warm reception, wonderful home and hospitality. We had such such a fantastic time and would not hesitate to recommend this place.

Shirley and her Husband, Peter, are really nice hosts. It was a very warm and lovely welcome for us. They guided us the places to visit as we were new to Lake District. She provided delicious breakfast. The house is very clean and beautiful with great scenic view. Highly recommended!!!

Shirley insisted on making me supper since I was leaving early the next morning. Great location close to the C2C cycle route 72. The bed was really comfortable and there was secure storage for my bike.

Shirley was an excellant host and she made our stay very comfortable and enjoyable. The breakfasts were delicious and Shirley and her husband were very good at suggesting local points of interest for us to visit. We would definitely stay there again.

Shirley and Peter are really friendly and you feel at home immediately. As described in the title, perfect for relaxing and visiting Lake district. Moreover you have from the house really nice point of views around. Great Airbnb !

Incredible hosts and very nice house. Our room was very comfortable and had everything you need. Even though we arrived quite late, Shirley was waiting us in the front of the door to wellcome us. We arrived so tired after being all the day walking that we just went to bed at night but in the morning we had the chance to have a nice chat with Shirley while having an amazing breakfast. We would repeat with no doubt if we go back in the area and of course, we recommend it.

Received a very warm and friendly welcome from Shirley, our host, at the front door. Introduced to Peter, her husband, who made us feel as though we were part of the family. Could not have met a nicer couple and wonderful hosts during our 3 night stay in their home. Our room was very comfortable and had everything you would expect from any hotel or guesthouse. The house was situated in a quiet neighbourhood with beautiful views. We were granted free access to the kitchen to cook our evening meals. Our hosts provided us with excellent information on local attractions and always welcomed us on our return with a ready smile and chat. We felt particularly blessed to meet people who also shared true Christian values and hospitality. We arrived as strangers and parted as friends. Would certainly consider another visit the next time we venture there.

Generally I'd say you'd need a car. Very very quiet area. A million miles from London sirens and buses. Lovely couple. Cooked breakfast with crispy bacon to die for. Shower only which was great but some like baths and u might. Kettle, hairdryer, big mirror and sink in room. Very handy.

Would definitely recommend, great room and very friendly hosts! Thank you :)

The house is nice, clean and cosy. Steve is a warm and friendly host who gave us travel tips and an overview of the historical heritage of the area and the interesting design of the structures surrounding the house. His daughter is very sweet too. Overall a very lovely stay.

I had a lovely time during my stay with Steve. He was very welcoming and friendly, quite happy to sit and chat about the facilities and the area. I was made to feel quite at home and the room was lovely, quiet, clean and warm. There was ample storage, and Steve was always happy to answer any questions I had. As I was stopping for several days due to working away from home, Steve was happy for me to use his kitchen facilities and kindly allocated me space in his fridge, which I thought was a very nice touch. The house itself is a lovely old house, full of character, with plenty of space and it is in a beautiful rural location, only a 5 minute drive from St Bees beach and 10 minutes to Whitehaven. I would definitely stay here again.

Steve is a great host and very accommodating. The house is gorgeous ad characterful. The bed is comfy and the room has a nice outlook on to the surrounding countryside. The area is very peaceful and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

Steve was a generous host. He picked me up in Whitehaven and dropped us off at the beach in St Bees the next morning. He was very accommodating to our disjointed schedule of arrival. His home was a wonderful place to start the Coast to Coast walk!

We had a wonderful time staying at Steve's house. It was in a great location to see the Western Lakes (with a car). Steve was really friendly and welcoming, and gave us heaps of suggestions about things to do and see. The house and room was perfect, and the breakfast was generous. We would definitely go back and stay again.

Steve was a great host. As soon as we arrived he showed us where to park and offered a lively cup of tea with a tour if the house. The house is part of a beautiful old Manner house that expanded over the years. He was very helpful with directions and (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps to find good birding spots on the headland and beach at St Bee. He also suggested a great pub in town for dinner. Altogether a very pleasant stay , good bed and generous breakfast. Thanks Steve. Mary.

Steve was the perfect host once more. Thanks

Had a lovely time and Steve was very hospitable.

Super attentive host. Lots of little extra touches to make my stay as comfortable as possible.

This house is situated in the west lakes area. Good for walkers and mountain bikers. Or to be honest for the less active like me. The house is cosy,warm and well supplied. Our host David met us and made us feel welcome. We can recommend this host and his house. Plenty of eating places nearby and a good supermarket just 2 mins by car. We went to St bees, about 5 miles away, a nice old fashioned sea side town. had a great afternoon. Good for kids and dogs or just to sit and watch the world.

We had an amazing stay here, amazing value for a full house to ourselves. Communication was great. This is a good base for exploring the Lake District. Would definitely stay again!

This is a beautiful home away from home, very modern and spacious. It was very clean. David the host is reachable. I would definitely recommend. I can't fault it really.

Very accommodating hosts. Very nice house. Perfect for what I wanted.

Wonderful hosts magic venue photos do not show how wonderful this place is ***** five star plus hosts are so caring and helpful

A fantastic house in a beautiful location. The house was really well equipped and comfortable and we really enjoyed our stay. Jane and Wal are perfect hosts and made us feel very welcome. Looking forward to going back again soon

Lovely cottage in a lovely setting with great views, 2 mins walk to the beach, lovely walks and couple of pubs. Wonderful hosts where nothing was too much trouble, thank you Jane and Wal for a lovely stay, just what we needed and we'll be back to explore more. Love Jane and Millie

Great hosts, very clean and great value. Highly recommend!

We visited Tracy and Richard on Friday of the Easter weekend and were warmly welcomed by them and Tommy (their beautiful dog). The house is well situated in a quiet and peaceful suburb which is only a 5-10 minute drive away from Whitehaven town centre. A lovely "thank you" card greeted us in the bedroom along with an Easter egg. The room was very comfortable, spacious and well stocked. The coffee machine and fresh milk in particular were nice touches. Even the bathroom was fully stocked with everything one could possibly need in case we had forgotten to bring any items. For breakfast Tracy prepared the table with cereals, toast, yogurt, fruit, freshly baked scones and various jams as well as tea or coffee. It was a nice change from the usual cooked breakfasts that are usually served by default in B&Bs. Overall I can highly recommend staying at Rook's Nest and would return if ever in the area again.

I was taking part in The Crossing coast to coast MTB event and decided to have a night of comfort before 3 long days in the saddle and 2 nights in a tiny tent!Tracy & Richard's home looked like the perfect place to do that. After a long drive up to Scarborough and then a 4 hour bus transfer to Whitehaven, I found myself standing in the pouring rain with my heavy kit bags and no idea of taxi numbers etc. My phone was also about to die...I phoned Tracey to ask about a taxi and Richard kindly offered to pick me up. Their home was lovely and we had a chat in the lounge before I headed up to my room to sort stuff for a 5am wake up. The room was lovely...coffee,water,biscuits amongst other things were laid out on a table.The bathroom with shower was also well kitted out...everything was spotless. It was shortly after that I sunk into the memory foam mattress and drifted off into a lovely sleep! Up at 5am and down into the kitchen for 10 past to be met by a beautifully laid table with cereals,croissants,fruit...the list goes on!!! Tracey & Richard also were up to make sure I had everything I needed. Richard very kindly offered to take me into Whitehaven after breakfast as the taxi company was fully booked. So to Tracey & Richard...I'd like to say Thank You again. Your hospitality and kindness went above and beyond! I wish you well with your Airbnb...you deserve success!

You wont be disappointed when you stay at the Rooks Nest. Tracy and Richard made us feel very welcome and made sure our stay was 1st class. The room and home were very clean, fresh and spacious. Definately would go again and am very happy to recommend them to other fellow travellers.

Tracy's place is excellent, the room is great with en-suited shower room, Tracy equipped the shower room with almost everything you may need. We have nice talk with the hosts in the afternoon we arrived with a cup of tea. A great experience! A lot thanks to Tracy and her families, and Tommy!

Tracy and Richard are very good hosts- they were very welcoming and helpful. We took their recommendation and drove the Hardknott Pass the next day. The location is convenient if you are following the West coast road. The room is super clean.

Tracy and Richard were very welcoming, and we very much enjoyed our brief stay with them. The bedroom was spacious and immaculately clean, as was the rest of the house. The area where Rook's Nest is located is residential and not that far from a main road, but it was wonderfully quiet and peaceful. I would definitely recommend it as a good place to stay.

Tracy and her husband Richard were great hosts. The ensuite room was great and Tracy had provided everything we could ever possibly need to have a very comfortable stay. Breakfast was fresh and plentiful. It is just a shame we didn't stay longer or have time to walk Tommy the dog.

The room was spacious and comfortable, and the property was only 5 mins from Whitehaven centre by car. Plenty of on-street parking outside.

The house was beautifully equipped and a real pleasure to stay in. We could have had a fire if we had wanted. We would definitely go back if we were to visit the area again. Such good value for money.

It was OK for the price and it was clean. It would be helpful to state in the publicity that there is no breakfast but you can use the cooking facilities. Also the host is off-site. A small point - the TV worked soundwise, but I could not get any pictures

Maryvics place is very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Access and contact with Maryvic worked well. The area is residential, but getting into Whitehaven by Bus was straightforward. Can recommend staying there.

We had the house to ourselves, didn't meet Maryvic the key was left out for us. However she was easy to reach and really helpful.

It's a good place to stay if you are hiking in the Lake District. We were alone in the house, it was clean and tidy, only thing I missed is a few plates.

The host canceled this reservation 26 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

A very nice Home. Everything was proper and comfortable. Good Support by Maryvic, after writing a Message she answered immidiatly and the problems ( hot water, Boiler was damaged ) got fixed. The house is close to the hospital, good for students (like me) or guests who gonna work there. Connection by Bus to town centre is also very easy. I will be back....

I stayed 3 nights at Wing's place while I was working in Cumbria. The bedroom was confortable, good size with a desk to work on and a good bed. I could use the kitchen to prepare my meals. Easy parking.

I arrived after cycling the whole day being tired and exhausted. In my room I find the most comfortable bed I have ever experienced. It was like sleeping in heaven. Despite Wing not being there most of the time due to his busy working hours, the house was very clean and totally to my satisfaction. I found out that the interior furniture, wallpaper and floors are super new (1 year old), so that it felt very modern despite being a regular home from the outside. Would definitely come again!

I was working in Whitehaven town centre so this was handy -just a short drive. Good value room. Excellent friendly host. I booked at short notice and their was a glitch on website when trying to book by Wing sorted it straight away. Will be back down in a couple of weeks and won't hesitate to book here again. Thank you Wing.

Great stay and great location - thanks!

Not a very large bedroom but enough space for the baggage and to walk around the room. Bathroom needs some improvement. Rather basic accommodation but quite close to the Lakes and convenient to go for hikes (by car) in several parts of the Western Lakes. And the price is attractive.

Mel and her husband Ricky were very friendly and welcoming. House is cozy and nice for every needs, quiet neiborough and comfort bed. I'll definitely go back in future. Thanks guys

Cheap place to stay close to town centre

We did not get a chance to meet Melendrina but her husband Ricky welcomed us to their cosy home. Our room was as described, simple and clean, and we had everything we needed for our stay. It was great to have access to the kitchen and the dining room, and we had a lot of privacy while cooking, eating, etc. You cannot beat the price for the offer! The location is great if you have a car, no problems with parking. We climbed Scafell Pike which is app. 45min away from Whitehaven, and we were very grateful to rest our feet in this room when we came back! We would definitely recommend this place for any traveller/s!

We never got to meet Melendrina but her husband Ricky checked us in and showed us around. There home is simple but has everything you need. Communication was excellent also! Thanks again guys!

Great house close to shops and food

Mel was very hospitable! She's a great host! My wife and I had a great time at Whitehaven. Beautiful place. You can have a good walk to st bees beach via coast-coast walk. You better have good walking shoe!!

As described. Mel is very friendly and welcoming.

Maria was very friendly and kind with us and gave us useful information about restaurants and the surrounding area. The house was clean and we enjoyed our stay. We were also offered some good Italian coffee in the morning before checking out. We definitely recommend this place.

Perfect place to stay! Maria is the most welcoming host we have met on our journey. The room is very nice and clean. Also the kitchen and the bathroom. For tall people, the bed might be a bit small. Highly recommended!

Best airbnb my girlfriend and I have ever stayed in! I can't say enough positive things about our stay, from Maria messaging me when we booked and asking if she could reserve a table at the fantastic pub across the street, to the beautiful room resplendent with all kinds of goodies, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. I'd go back to Whitehaven just for this!

Maria response to e-mail almost immediately and is very helpful. It's great that they allow the free use of kitchen. Friendly and beautiful room.

Our staying at Neil and Maria’s place was one to remember. We did not want to leave the place and asked to stay one extra night as I don’t think it’s possible to get a better quality/price relation that the one they offer. The bedroom was 5 stars, including all the details you would find in a top hotel. Access to the kitchen allowed us to easily prepare the picnics and breakfast for the next day. The bathroom is big, welcoming and very clean. Neil and Maria allowed us our private space but were always there in case anything was needed. A place I really recommend and would repeat if going to the Lake District area again for sure!

Great hosts. Lovely house and room. Helpful and friendly. Would recommend.

Fabulous place to stay. A very comfortable room with large tv and use of kitchen. Everything you need.

5* Comfy, Friendly & Great Value

A lovely place right on the edge of town. With fields filled with goats and sheep all around the house and a nice walk directly in front of the house, this is a great place outside of the summer busyness of the lakes. Ideally located to visit the best side (the western side) of the lakes. Diana is a warmhearted person who made us feel right at home. Though there is not too much to do in the town itself, there is a great pub 10 minutes drive away called the royal yew inn.

Lovely quiet location. Host very nice . Will be back

We stayed in Diana’s house with our 14 year old daughter for three nights. Diana is a very helpful and caring person who supported us during our visit with maps, tips for sightseeing and places where you could get good food. We had two bedrooms and could use Diana’s kitchen. We recommend Diana’s place very highly. The location is really quiet and right at the western edge of the Lake District National Park. Secret tip: Diana likes to bake cake ;-)

Diana is a very friendly and very well informed host. The house is located on a beautiful piece of land. The last house in the terrace with open countryside and hill views. There is a public footpath for the avid walkers. Diana is very hospitable and will guide you with local information.

Great place to stay, clean and tidy. Very helpful owner who responds very quickly. Nice location.

Nice house comfortable stay.
