I really can't understand why this great B&B is only 36 on the list, because to be fair it's really very good. Pam the owner was teriffic, she gaves us tea on arrival and told us things we could do and see. Saved going to tourist information. We went to our room No:6 this was spacious, clean and very inviting.... More

Pam and Colin were lovely, gave me a nice welcome (complete with pot of tea - perfect for when you have been travelling) and Colin talked me through the local walks and place to visit. The room was just lovely, spotlessly clean (i wish i could get my... More

Stayed here recently over the New Years holiday and had a lovely time. Before our stay I contacted Pam for some restaurant recommendations and she was very helpful, also providing directions to the guest house etc. We travelled by train and found the Firgarth easily after 10 mins of walking directly along the adjacent Road. We were greeted by Pam... More

Stayed a couple of nights and found Firgarth to be a pleasant B&B. Is well located (we arrived by train and walked from the station, and took the bus from outside on day trips). Room & bathroom were recently renovated and very comfortable (and quiet). Pam was a lovely friendly and very helpful host! An excellent base for visiting the... More

The room was very modern, comfortable and provided tea and coffee making facilities and biscuits which were replenished each day. The room was exceptionally clean and you could tell how much care goes into the upkeep of the... More

My partner and I have just returned from a 3 night stay at this wonderful Guest House, which is in a perfect location for exploring the Lake District. Colin and Pam couldn't have been more helpful.

I booked the Firgarth for four nights mid August for myself and partner Jon. The hosts Colin & Pam were extremely friendly, knowledgable and couldn't do enough to help. Our Kingsize room on 2nd floor to the front of the house was well furnished, very clean with a great bathroom. Quite noisy with the window open but not enough to... More
