We were given a courtesy call before we arrived to ensure everything was ok and confirm our booking, which was nice. Very accomodating with letting us eat breakfast earlier than... More

A very warm welcome to a comfortable and well appointed establishment. Some people are very good at hospitality, here they are amongst the best. Slightly iffy wifi but that is out of their control. Otherwise, can't recommend highly enough.

This is a brilliant b&b with great facilities and an even better hosts in Ian and Christine. The guest house is spotlessly clean with very comfortable beds and great views of the mountains. The breakfasts were tasty and plentiful. As for the comment on location, it was only a 15-20 min walk down the road. Ian even gave us a... More

The front and side rooms have very good views over the countryside towards the lake. The breakfast... More

The rooms at Fair Rigg are beautifully presented, large with good sized ensuites. Although a walk into town, the walk is lovely. The information provided by Christine and Ian about local walks and favourite restaurants in each room's information pack is very helpful. The restaurant recommended by Ian was terrific. The breakfast was great, I had the best homemade porridge... More
