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.

It doesn’t get any better than this. Our host was very gracious and friendly. She evokes a kinder, gentler, service-oriented era. We feel like cherished family members after staying for two nights. The gardens are beautiful and peaceful and we would love to spend more time here. Exceptional!

The hosts were really friendly, we were met outside in the car park and shown to our room. The communication regarding arrival time and offer to help with finding somewhere to eat before our stay added an extra level of care they put into their guests as well as the toiletries and fruit/drink options in the room. Breakfast was good with plenty of options. Gorgeous room with a four poster bed and plenty of space with the shared "living room" area on the top floor. Lovely views from the room and i even saw a red squirrel outside. Definitely would stay here again.
