    Walking back from Castleton can be tricky at night as there's not many lights so take a torch or drive part way there! Tv was a little old but that didn't make much difference!

    The farm is actually a working farm, traditional feel with a delicious breakfast from their own chickens! Gary couldn't have been any more helpful. We loved the views from the bedroom window as we could see the chickens and stunning views.

    Everyone was so lovely and helpful. We were given information about local pubs for after our walk and advice for making our way back in the dark (The camembert sharer at The George was worth the trip on its own). They even offered to pick us up from and drop us off to the station, couldn't do enough to make sure we were looked after. The room was warm, comfortable and light with lovely tea, coffee, water and biscuits. Also, when you're told about how good the breakfast is, it's 100% true.

    My husband and I had a wonderful 2-night stay at Dunscar Farm. It's a lovely B&B with idyllic scenery nestled into the sheep farm and a short walk to town. The room was very comfortable and we enjoyed delicious breakfast (my husband is vegan and the hosts had easy meat- and dairy-free options). Gary welcomed us when we arrived and had great tips for hiking and exploring the area.

    Would have preferred en-suite bathroom but did have that choice when booking so was aware, it wasn’t too much of a problem anyway. Small window for breakfast time, would have preferred later.

    I liked how it was quite remote yet only a 15 minute walk into the village . Very peaceful and comfortable and clean. Friendly owners, nothing too much trouble.

    An absolute gem of a BnB! Gary and Janet couldn't have done anything more for us. The room was lovely; cosy, warm and with everything we could have wished for. Even choccies and biscuits! The breakfast was wonderful and cooked with local produce and served by two different ladies on both he Saturday and Sunday who couldn't have done more - equally as hospitable and smiley. Thoroughly enjoyable stay!

    We had a hugely enjoyable holiday in Castleton. Our stay here was relaxing. Our room big and beautifully decorated, and with a wonderful view. Gary, the owner - and chef:), was fantastic! He correctly suggested we leave the car and walk through the farm into the village - the stroll was magical that I almost proposed to my girlfriend!

    The mattress is a box spring mattress which moves a lot every time one person moves. I prefer a memory foam mattress that’s more forgiving of your partner’s movements.

    The farm is located in the most beautiful spot, with such great walking right at their doorstep. We even went all the way up Kinderscout right from there. And the staff are just so lovely, the service was absolutely perfect. Excellent breakfast. Gorgeous view out of the window. Lots of pubs nearby.
