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.

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.

Phil and Helen took great care to make the breakfasts fit our needs with lots of choices. Great welcoming and conversation. We enjoyed our two nights. Comfy bed and though the shower knobs took a bit to sort out we enjoyed the shower after long days of touring and walking. Myriad thanks!

Fantastic

Pobyt w Hermiston Guest House był wielką przyjemnością. Nasz pokój był bardzo ładny z widokiem na ogród, co zapewniało nam ciszę i komfort w nocy. Łóżko super wygodne. Właściciel jest fotografem, co dodaje uroku całemu domowi, pełnego pięknych zdjęć, które można też kupić. Na wprost naszego łóżka wisiał piękny obraz-fotografia jeziora Buttermere, za którym tęsknimy. Doceniamy ciasteczka i herbatę w pokoju. Śniadania i pogawędki z gospodarzem, który ma cudowne poczucie humoru były niezwykle miłym akcentem każdego dnia. Mamy nadzieję, że uda nam się wrócić.
