I hadn't really gave that much though as I'm not paying..!!

Not up-market....I prefer a laid back casual approach. I suppose as cheap as possible...providing it's clean.

Dunno, but I can guarantee two things;
1. It'll be heaving;
2. The prices will be..........erm..........pricey. :o)

Hodge Hill, Bowland Bridge (in th triangle between Kendal, Grange on Sands and Bowness), 16thC - beams from the Spanish Armada as well as panelling - run by friends of the family called Blades (Beryl and her daughter, Bridey Pritchard) . They used to do dinner and wonderful Duck. They still do B &B I believe

Really in the sticks and beautifully rural/quiet.

Up the road is a lovely old pub, the Masons Arms.

We find it best to get b&b accommodation away from the main towns which are packed with visitors and quite expensive. Always take our bikes and then gently pedal from place to place via pubs.

(iii) Sedbergh for antiquarian books and the school - then Dent and over the top to Barbon and onto

(iv) Kirkby Lonsdale very quaint shopping town and nice shops

(v) Muncaster Castle (ghosts et al)

(vi) The Steamboat Museum at Rayrigg, Bowness and part of the Nat Maritime Museum

(vii) Penrith (nice shops and a wonderful buthcers on the square for Cumberland sausage

there's a fab farm shop at the M6 South stop for Killington (Sedbergh/Kendal) and I am serious, it was a candidate for farm shop of the year a couple of years ago.
