This is a beautiful place to stay. Spotlessly clean, warm welcome and super breakfast. If you are wondering whether to choose it or not then don't hesitate.

Everything was perfect

Bessiestown guest house is a lovely family run b&b in the middle of nowhere but so worth finding. We were upgraded to one of the apartments and it was beautiful. The tranquility is amazing. Somewhere to escape from everything! The breakfast, freshly cooked to order was a delight. We have an assistance dog with us and he sends a very happy Woof! Thanks for a lovely stay L

Lovely place, very comfortable apartments (for family with two teenagers it was more than enough). Very friendly staff.

The breakfast was adequate for our needs. Our room was quite small but had everything we needed and even a fridge with fresh milk. All the fittings were of a high quality and appeared to be almost new. The location is somewhat off the beaten track but it was worth the detour from our route to find such a quiet and peaceful place.

I cannot fault our stay in any way. Everything is spotlessly clean and all you need had already been thought of and made easily available. The breakfast is freshly cooked and there is a variety for everyone. There is such a friendly, welcoming atmosphere and nothing seems too much trouble. We have recommended to family and friends and we look forward to returning.

Nothing. This place is just perfect.

A magnificent B&B. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, extremely well kept and stocked every day. Fresh milk is kept in a fridge in your room along with coffee and tea. The rooms have ensuite with a large bath/shower combo. There's a conservatory and lounge, both sizeable and extremely comfortable for use of the patrons. Plenty of parking available. It's family run on a steading set in a beautiful rural location. The family are all warm, welcoming people, a joy to meet and do all they can to make your stay a good one. This is a true gem of a place, I can't praise the facilities or folks enough! We'll be going back there as often as we can.

This is an amazing B&B. A little out of the way but only enough to escape the hustle and bustle. Total peace and quiet, friendly service, clean and beautiful room. Will definitely stay here again.

We stayed as a family with young adults and teens and had a wonderful experience. The property is beautiful, with spacious, clean rooms thoughtfully equipped with coffee and tea stations, biscuits, and even sewing kits. The bathrooms were fully set up and spotless, giving a true bed-and-breakfast feel. The location is excellent — set in lovely scenery, just 15 minutes from Carlisle and under an hour from the Lake District. Mr. Jack, Mrs. Anna, Mrs. Margret and the team were incredibly welcoming and accommodating. Breakfast was delicious and customized to our dietary needs. They even went the extra mile to arrange for us to cuddle a sheep — thank you, Christie and Anna, for making that special memory!

That we only had a one night stay

Margaret and John were absolutely delightful! If you're ever heading to Carlisle and need a place to stay, then this is it. Everything was wonderful.
