Stafford House Guest House

Overall Experience: This accommodation provides an exceptional experience, frequently described as peaceful, well-maintained, and welcoming.

I had a lovely stay for one night as I was working in the area. Hazel and Iain are great hosts and I couldn't think of anything to make the stay better. It was just perfect!

Stafford House is a little gem of a find located just North-East of the Lake District area. The setting of this lovely B&B is placed in stunning surrounding gardens which is immaculately maintained by the proprietors. We were warmly greeted by Ian, who was gardening when we arrived, but stopped to make sure we were in the right place. Don’t be too concerned if are you a stranger to the area, the wealth of local knowledge provided by Hazel & Ian can provide you with ideas and locations to spend away the day. They also provided us with a little travel plan that listed all the POI with sat nav postcodes. Our hosts Hazel and Ian are terrific people. Both knew just how much and when to attend or leave us to our devices. We stayed in the main house, but there are self-catering lodges available. The decor and attention to detail in the rooms are second to none and very, very comfortable. The rooms are well stocked with tea/coffee facilities and the bathroom with all manners of toiletries. There was a wide choice available for breakfast with fresh and locally sourced produce. Simple system, tick what you would like off the breakfast sheet the night before and it was beautifully presented the following morning. I had the salmon and scrambled eggs, which was so nice I had it again the following day and, on both mornings, looked and tasted great. Our stay here has encouraged us to make a point of visiting the Lake District more often.
