High Greenside Farmhouse B&B

Not our first visit, we return often because it’s a place where you can really switch off and totally relax. Dark skies, comfy bed, SUPERB breakfast and a very hospitable host. No doubt we shall return in 2024.

Take no notice of those reviewers who complain about the untidy yard. It's nothing to do with the hospitable hostess, Angela, as her neighbours are doing her a disservice she doesn't deserve. In any case, this is a remote sheep farm, not a city boutique. The view to the wild beauty of the Howgills at the back is worth the visit alone. The accommodation is clean and comfortable and the chance to dine at the Black Swan a mile away is not to be missed. But don't over-indulge or you won't fully appreciate Angela's excellent breakfast.

We stayed here for 3 nights as the first part of our tour of Yorkshire and Northumberland. On arrival our first thoughts were that the farmhouse was in an idyllic and peaceful setting, with lovely views of the surrounding hills. Infact our only neighbours were sheep even in the garden behind our family room. Unfortunately, when shown to our room the outside area infront was very messy with children’s toys strewn around. In addition, there was a *****ped down dumped car with several bits missing. We were told by Angela this was on a neighbours property. The positives were: Very welcoming hostess Angela. Comfy bed. Excellent full English breakfast. Lovely area to explore. Negatives: Scruffy outside areas. There were two of us in a family room, it would have been extremely tight for 4 people. Lack of storage area in the main bedroom. Room was tired & decoration needed. We thought the room was expensive for what we paid. Our room was not cleaned throughout our stay. We did mention this to Angela & it is not their policy to go into peoples rooms (we would like to have been advised at the outset). Our summary is that this farmhouse is in a beautiful location ,and if the improvements mentioned above were actioned, this would be a lovely place to stay.

On arrival was greeted with very untidy outside area there was a scrap car in the yard,very dangerous in my opinion. Things did not get any better when shown thr dinning area the tables and chairs were tatty to say the least.our twin room in the annex was tiny and scruffy in appearance.The bathroom I personally would not feel comfortable using. We were beyond disappointed.we felt so unhappy we voiced our concerns and did not even stay.

Angela the host, was most accommodating and delightful. The area is beautiful and our dog was made very welcome. The farmhouse breakfasts were the best ever, and I fully recommend Angela’s packed lunches, personally for us we found they fed us very well.

We spent a very pleasant week at Greenside. Loved the quiet atmosphere of the farm. It is placed very well between the Yorkshire dales and the Lake District making access for both areas very easy. The full English breakfasts were excellent.

Angela the owner was lovely

Angela was very welcoming and treated us as a part of the family.The Breakfast was cooked to order and it was very good.The acccomadation was very clean and had all the facilities we needed

Pleasant little guesthouse. It had a homely feel. Treated like a person rather than just a number
