High Wray Farm

Ambleside

We've just spent a glorious couple of days at High Wray Farm. We have visited many Bed & Breakfast establishments over the years and this is definitely one of the best. Sheila made us very welcome and was cheerful and helpful throughout. Our room was tastefully decorated and very much in keeping with this delightful old house. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious and well presented. High Wray Farm is situated in a picturesque area with wonderful views of the fells and surrounding countryside which lends itself to a peaceful and restful ambience. It's also very well situated for exploring the south lakes, with Coniston, Hawkshead, Ambleside, Windermere and Grasmere a short drive away. Also worthy of mention is Pippin, the delightful family cat. She's absolutely lovely and we looked forward to getting back to the house and spending a little quality time with her. She does like a fuss!
I would highly recommend High Wray Farm as a relaxing base for all your Cumbrian exploring!

High Wray Farm, highly recommended!

This B&B is just wonderful and is on a lovely farm in a quiet setting. Beautiful and homely farmhouse which is immaculately kept. Very comfortable rooms and bathrooms with everything you could possibly need. You really feel spoilt when you stay here due to the owners attention to detail and the thoughtful effort they go to. The hosts couldn't be nicer or more welcoming.  I can't reccomend this place highly enough. Looking forward to staying again sometime.  

Fabulous B&B and hosts

I stayed in this much loved beautiful guesthouse for 3 nights and couldn’t recommend it more. Its remote setting makes it an ideal place for hikers and those looking for a nice getaway surrounded by its magnificent scenery and nature.
Sheila does a fantastic job in running this B&B by making the guests feel warm and welcome. The farmhouse is immaculately clean with a hearty stove fire lit every evening giving it a cosy feel. Sheila makes a lovely breakfast each morning which sets you up for the day. Her cakes are equally delicious. I’ve travelled quite a bit and I have to say this is one of the nicest guesthouses I’ve ever stayed in. 💜🥰

Wonderful location, fabulous host and beautiful bed and breakfast

Had a lovely couple of nights at High Wray farm . Quite remote so no corner shop or pub .Sheila keeps her B and B  immaculate. Breakfast was delicious with loads of choice from cereal  fruit and yoghurt to full English breakfast 
Beautiful views from room . 
Sheep and owls on the farm and a lovely tranquil garden to sit in .

Had a lovely couple of nights at High Wray Farm.

Oh my goodness - this place was just amazing. Sheila is a wonderful host who also makes a delicious breakfast. She was great at communicating with us, and also provided perfect suggestions on hikes that matched the amount of time we had (just a couple of hours one day; and a full day another day). Room was comfortable and clean. She even came in to restock the tissues and make sure things were ok. Loved that the location was a couple of miles outside of town - up in the hills where you get a little more peace and quiet, yet close to Ambleside, Grasmere and other towns.

Must stay here when visiting the Lake District

Lovely relaxing stay here, made all the more perfect by Sheila making us feel so comfortable in this beautiful place. Lemon drizzle cake & cup of tea to welcome us was delicious & most welcome. All rooms are beautiful designed & the bedroom is perfect with en suite . Bed & the pillows are so comfy. Milk is supplied & a tasty shortbread biscuit. Sheila  is absolutely the perfect hostess who does everything to a high standard to make the stay so relaxing. We chilled our wine & beer in the landing fridge to chill in the evening after a long busy day, & relaxed in the beautiful lounge, where the candles had been lit & made cozy. 
Breakfast selection & the whole dining experience in the beautifully laid out room was a delight. The sausages, bacon & eggs were amazingly tasty. 
This review probably sounds really gushing but can’t really explain how beautiful the whole stay was & how it added to making first time in Ambleside SO wonderful 
Highly recommend to anyone & will be returning with family for sure

Beautiful relaxing stay

Sheila and Chris were very welcoming and enthusiastic about their lovely, peaceful corner of the Lakes. The accommodation at the farm was very clean and comfortable and Sheila's breakfasts were superb. Afternoon cake was available every day and was extremely welcomed! Sheila's helpfulness and permanent cheerfulness was inspiring and our party of four could find no fault whatsoever in this our choice for a restful five night stay. Her insight into the local area was one of many attributes that makes Sheila a wonderful hostess.

A truly peaceful gem

So the owner commented very well via email.
We arrived late and was given clear polite  instuction on which room and greeted with tea/coffe/sherry.

The room was clean and tidy very homely and had all the condiments, shampoo/ ect
Fantastic view from window.

Breakfast was lovely, lots of choices including full english, special /eggs Benedict, cereal, yogurts and fruits .. all fresh , including tea, coffe and juices .

The lady who run it was very welcoming and very accommodating.

The only slight criticism was it was a little hot in morning, radiators were on, supose its ace when its cold...

We had a fantastic say and would highly recommend high wray farm for a short break with lots of views and walks ...


Fantastic

At the risk of repeating the many superlatives of others, we were back for the umpteenth time in 20 years, and Sheila's superb welcome, attention and standards were as high as they have always been.

A very cosy home-from-home 😊

Superb as Ever!

I was unable to visit due to illness however, my sister Sheila still went and I am writing this based on her visit.  The host, Sheila was very welcoming and warm and couldn't do enough to ensure my sister's visit was memorable.  The facilities were comfy and breakfast fulfilling, which set her up for the day's walking.  Sheila (owner) went as far as driving Sheila to the train station on her departure.  All in all, she cannot recommend this enough and will definitely make a return visit.
