Aynsome Manor Bed and Breakfast

Such a beautiful place, the room was huge and very comfortable. We had everything we needed. It was incredible peaceful and we totally relaxed. Chris went above and beyond to cater for our needs and nothing was too much trouble. An excellent breakfast cooked to perfection

Friendly and efficient check-in. Spacious bedroom with top quality fitted furniture and very comfortable bed. Sash window was broken and had to be wedged open with a shoe. Tiny shower ‘room’ (cupboard?) where my knees touched the shower screen when I sat on the toilet. Decent breakfast cooked to order. Check-out uninterested in us. Did not ask if we had enjoyed our stay or where we were going next. Unlikely to return as so disappointed with the shower ‘room’.

We stumbled upon Aynesome Manor quite by accident and so wish we’d found it years ago Chris and Andrea are the most perfect hosts and we felt totally at home, in fact, this is the mostly relaxing hotel I’ve ever stayed in . The breakfast was superb , as was the service and nothing was too much trouble Highly recommended

We have been guests at Aynesome Manor Hotel many times over the years and have always enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. This year the owners Chris and Andrea Varley changed the format and became a licensed B and B.We stayed on Saturday the 13th of May and wondered whether our stay would be as good as it has been in the past. There was no need to have had any such concern. Chris and Andrea were the perfect hosts and the new format works a treat with Chris and Andrea going above and beyond to ensure that we had as good a time as ever and the hearty breakfast was delicious. Although the scrumptious dinners are no longer served it is easy to eat elsewhere on an evening and then return to the hotel for a convivial drink or two with other guests ( and Chris and Andrea are more than happy to book restaurants and taxis ). This is no ordinary B and B . It is top class and I cannot recommend it too highly . I hope that Chris and Andrea's new venture is a big success . There is no doubt that they deserve it.

We felt very much at home the minute we arrived to a friendly and warm welcome. Our hosts, Chris and Andrea could not have been more helpful and are clearly experienced hoteliers. Our room was spacious and well appointed with the all-important comfortable bed; we slept very well. The enjoyable experience continued over a sumptuous breakfast in a stunning dining room and again a high standard of service and attention to detail was evident. There is a clear passion and desire to provide guests with an historic country house experience and we certainly enjoyed our all too brief stay. We will definitely return as it is a real find. Highly recommended.

Fantastic hotel really clean and welcoming lovely building and staff absolutely amazing ! Big thanks to Chris for checking us in and helping us with anything we required a genuinely lovely man. The breakfast was delicious and plenty to eat and drink! We will definitely recommend and hope to return again.

Great weekend at the lovely Aynsome hotel, Chris and Andrea are such good hosts and make everyone feel so welcome. They are no longer providing evening meals but that doesn’t stop their attention to detail. In my opinion the best place to stay in Cartmel

Had a fantastic stay here and can’t wait to return. The staff are exceptional. The building itself is beautiful and well maintained with picturesque views across the countryside. Breakfast was delicious. A real gem.

My husband and I have just had a two night B&B stay at Aynsome Manor which is nestled in the most scenic of countryside. Chris and Andrea Varley gave us a very warm welcome and we’re most helpful with regard to local amenities. Our room was spacious and well appointed with delightful views. The fire in the downstairs lounge gave a warming ambiance especially for a relaxing read. Breakfast offered all that one could wish for. We highly recommend Aynsome Manor to anyone who is looking for accommodation in the South Lakes.
