The Wayside and Whisky Barn is in a secluded part of the Western Lake District and offers guests a relaxing place to stay when visiting this corner of Cumbria. Our accommodation has been beautifully renovated and is overlooked by the magnificent Black Combe Fell. We are surrounded by many stunning walks and just a short stroll from the beach.
Our aim is to provide a place where guests can stay, rest and relax. All guests will receive a warm welcome and high-quality service during their stay, with many guests often leaving as friends. Luxurious accommodation, extraordinary service and culinary delights are what we pride ourselves on. We have the following accommodation available:

Whisky Barn, our bar, is also open to non-residents (call prior to visit is recommended due to irregular opening hours).
