Armidale Cottages B&B0

I stayed at Armidale while visiting family nearby. Sue and Fred were fantastic hosts, they really made me feel welcome and looked after. The breakfast was cooked to order and really set me up nicely for the day :-) My room was lovely and the B&B in general has a very warm and friendly atmosphere. I would definitely stay with them again.

The only downside for me was the shared bathroom but it wasn't a problem as I was the only guest when I stayed. Also would be nice to have a separate shower (the shower is part of the freestanding bath).

Sue was very friendly, and eager to help. I had a the ubiquitous "full English" breakfast and this kept me full for most of the day. This house is well kept, tidy and is a mix of German and English in influence that work well together. The bedroom had plenty of space and the bed was comfortable. There was the expected tea/coffee making equipment: unexpectedly, however, the coffee wasn't a sachet of the instant variety, but a pod machine. There was also a choice of Earl Grey, breakfast and green teas.

"What didn't you like?" isn't the best choice of question to answer as there wasn't anything I didn't like. I do have to mention that the room wasn't "en suite" but shared a bathroom, something I didn't notice when booking so some responsibility is mine there. I was, however, warned to sit down for a shower least the water go over the bath and went through into the room below. Also the bedroom doesn't have a lock on the door, just an Essex Latch: this wasn't a concern for me, but might be for others.

A perfect B&B with a helpful and friendly host in Sue, on arrival she asked me what I would like for breakfast so clearly she had me figured out :-) Locally sourced toiletries in the bathroom (bathrobe provided which was a nice touch), spacious and perfectly clean throughout, the afforementioned breakfast using local produce and of course close to the lakes and the sea. I'd be proud to recommend Armidale to anyone staying in the area and will visit again with pleasure

Excellent breakfast and marvelous hosts. Breakfast was so refined and tasty. Sue is an excellent Chef, she offered waffles with berries and maple syrup which were the best I have ever had and an English breakfast that was so tasty and healthy. Fred and Sue are an exceptionally lovely couple, they gave perfect recommendations and showed the routes for a memorable and absolutely stunning stay in Lake District. Moreover, they have a wooden heated real Finnish sauna, which was awesome and so relaxing. Sues and Freds home is a unique place with an extraordinary style and vibes.

Full English Breakfast was excellent, especially the home made Blueberry Muffins and homemade jam. Great location for exploring the Lake district and only 15 mins from Cockermouth with good pubs and restaurants. Sue and Fred were very welcoming. Extremely clean and very comfortable beds. We would highly recommend this B&B.

We would prefer an ensuite shower, but shared bathroom with bath tub very much in keeping with the property.

Absolutely lovely, homely and clean and exceeded expectations. Sue and Frank were very accommodating and Sue went above and beyond to make myself and another guest very welcome, waking up to specially made muffins and breakfast by a log fire, I stay in lots of places with work and I highly recommend staying at Armidale for work or pleasure whilst visiting Cumbria 10/10!

Nothing everything was great.

The hosts were both friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent but you had better be hungry – The portions are very generous. The room was comfortable with tea, coffee (Nespresso machine) and hot chocolate. The Wi Fi was very good, and it was a pleasant surprise to see that Netflix was available at no extra cost.

Stayed at Armidale cottages for a week. Sue and Fred are lovely, they looked after me and the boys very well and made me feel like home. They gave us lots of advice and recommendations on what to see in the area and how best to get there. Exceptional breakfast, Sue has also made us a delicious cake and waffles. Special thank you for the bikes and boat for the boys, sauna and all other “extras” which Sue and Fred kindly provided us (for free!) And thank you for my birthday present! We very much enjoyed our stay at Armidale cottages and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended. Thank you Sue and Fred❤️

The location was good and the breakfast was to die for(exceptional). The hostess Sue was at the door ready to greet us which was lovely. Beautiful accommodation and surrounding gardens. I would definitely recommend these cottages and I would also stay there again when visiting Workington. Thank you Sue.

Very comfortable bedroom and an excellent breakfast. Beautiful setting in a quiet location, Armidale Cottages date back to the 17th century and have been tastefully and carefully updated. Sue and Fred our hosts were very friendly and Sue went out of her way to make sure we were happy and comfortable.

The shower was a learning exercise, although the bathroom was very well appointed and we had it to ourselves.
