When we stayed at Hermiston, we were made to feel very welcome. The room was immaculate and there was also a very comfortable and cosy lounge for guests to sit in as well as a garden if desired. Breakfast was cooked to order and quality and presentation was excellent.

Stayed in this fabulous guest house with my husband and father. Everything about it was beautiful! The house is well planned and stocked. The owners, Phil and Helen, are very helpful and knowledgeable. The breakfast was plentiful with good choices. Phil planned out a scenic tour in our car that was excellent for us. The location is perfect for exploring the Lakes and small villages. I got some amazing photos! We highly recommend and would like to stay there again.

Awesome from the start Met at the door with a coffee and a warm welcome from Phil, Discussed the best ways and tricks of the local area such as parking/places to visit. Breakfast was very tasty full English for me and porridge for the wife both of which were home cooked and fab lots of other choices with a-cracking view of lat rigg. Rooms were comfortable with everything you need including towels and hot drinks in your room. On return form day out infest was given by phil on the day and further advice /maps were given for the following days adventures nothing was too much for the hosts, this was our first one on a guest house the rest have a lot to live up to now. Will be booking a weekend away again

We thought the hosts were really lovely and the location of the guesthouse was ideal for us for walking. There are two pubs within walking distance which serve fantastic food: Coledale inn and Royal Oak. However, we had a downstairs room and seemed to have been really unlucky with the guests upstairs who woke us up every hour during the night. Thankfully, we were only staying a couple of nights as we were absolutely exhausted by the end. Would recommend a stay, just maybe ask for an upstairs room.
