The Old School - Holmrook

We were hosted by Mugsie, a friend of the lady who owns the B&B. She was the perfect host and made us feel really welcome and cooked a cracking breakfast. We were sad to leave! The B&B is well located for people wishing to climb Scafell via Wasdale - around 30 mins drive. We found the B&B very easy to get to via motorways and A-roads, and at the same time it feels like it's in the middle of nowhere, very relaxing and quiet. A special shout out to Bruce, the world's best dog!

I stayed at the Old School for four nights for a business trip and it couldn't have been better! Lesley went out of her way to ensure a great stay. Friendly hosts, fabulous location, a lovely room, and delicious homemade food. Will definitely be going back!

A perfect stay in every way - Leslie is kind, generous, and unfailingly helpful. Her home is clean and nicely furnished; the rooms are well appointed and comfortable. The breakfasts are stupendous. And the location - well, it's simply beautiful.

Very enjoyable long week-end. Nearly "stole" the two cats and dog - all adorable. Will return.

I cannot praise this b&b enough! Lesley is the best hostess u have come across yet. Very friendly lady and extremely hospitable. She even presented me with a card and some bubbly as it was my b/day. So much attention to detail. Lots of little extra's in the room ie: chocolates left on pillows, a glass of port each, cake etc. A truly beautiful home from home! I will definitely return again when I get the chance. Highly recommended. Beautiful location. Excellent and plentiful breakfast, fit for a queen!!
