“This is one of two favourites from our trip to the UK. The host couple was so charming and genuinely friendly, the food was great, the rooms great, and it was in a beautiful little village with amazing views. We loved all about it. I wish we had stayed here longer.”
“My partner and I had a truly wonderful stay at Bessietown Country Guesthouse. Margaret and John were exceptional hosts…warm, welcoming, and delightfully chatty. Our room was spacious, immaculately clean, and provided the perfect setting for a restful night's sleep. Breakfast was a lovely experience, made even more special by their thoughtful accommodations for my dietary needs. As I can't have dairy or gluten, they went out of their way to provide special milk, butter, and bread, ensuring my meal was prepared separately with care. The house itself is beautiful, with a stunning garden that adds to its charm. Without a doubt, we’ll be staying here again if we’re ever in the area. Thank you, Margaret and John.”
“It's out of the way, but man oh man it's worth it! I came across it browsing for a B&B for a week down near Carlisle. What a gem of a place!! It's a multi award winning place and you can see why. Wonderful rooms, clean, spacious, fantastic food, the family who run it are delightful. My wife and I will be using it every time we're down in the area from now on.”
