    We do recommend Sheila's B & B at the Wray farm.The reason is: A warm welcome, cosy interior and delicious breakfasts. Our stay was very agreeable. We have really enjoyed in the wonderful Lake District area. Apparently the cat found us good company as she always came to us and stayed with us.

    Staying at this lovely cottage in the Lake District was an absolute delight. The location was perfect, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding beauty. The cottage itself was impeccably clean, and the atmosphere felt just like home. One of the highlights of our stay was the delicious food served at the cottage. Every meal was prepared with care and attention to detail, leaving us satisfied and content. Sheila, the owner, truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Her kindness and friendliness added an extra layer of warmth to our experience. Overall, our time at this cottage was nothing short of wonderful. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy retreat in the Lake District.

    We liked the whole place. The rooms were spotlessly clean & cosy. The host was super friendly & helpful & the breakfast was the best B&B breakfast we've ever had.

    Not a big deal but it would have been good to have the option of a half hour earlier breakfast, to get an earlier start on the day

    Absolutely fabulous breakfast, I haven't had such tasty bacon and sausages in a long time!

    Bedrooms are upstairs which did not prove an issue for us but could be problematic for anyone with mobility issues

    Staying at High Wray farm was like being a guest at a friend's home. Sheila was welcoming and provided many lovely welcoming gestures such as tea and cake in the dining room each afternoon when we returned from our adventures. Breakfast was fantastic, well cooked with daily specials and plenty of choice. A small fridge was available for guest use

    I should have stayed longer!

    Everything is exactly as illustrated by previous guests. Pleasant hosts; Sheila and Chris are so passionate and thank you for sharing the cottage with us. And they cook scrumptious breakfast too. Comfy and cosy rooms and living room. And the manicured English garden. And the trails right across the road; catch the romantic summer sunset and sunrise. It’s simply a perfect stay in the Lakes.

    The only suggestion would perhaps be blackout curtains in the bedroom, at midsummer the sun rises very early in the Lake District. But overall an excellent stay.

    A very friendly welcome from Sheila, with a lovely breakfast each morning and comfy bed. The other guests were friendly too and the house has alot of historic character. It was also nice to stay a bit outside of the tourist centres in the country.

    A wide selection available for breakfast with a very hearty Lakeland full English too good to miss! The location was the perfect retreat in the idyllic, quiet hamlet of High Wray. A beautifully maintained original farm house, High Wray Farm had a splendidly kept English country garden which was available and appreciated both during the day and in the evening as a peaceful location to chat about the days activities. Very handy for the ferry across the lake too.

    In a very quiet location but ideal for exploring with some very pleasant walks close by. Sheila and Chris are exceptional hosts and I would highly recommend to anyone. The breakfast is made using local produce and really tasty and the beds are comfy for a good nights sleep so what more could you ask for.
