Outstanding location , very welcoming hosts ( Ian and Christine ), clean and very comfortable room. Only 15-20 mins walk into Bowness. Taxi back if prefferred is £3.50- from lakeside, for some reason those taxi drivers in town charge £4.00-£4.90, and the distance back is shorter !!! Good parking at property and a good cooked breakfast awaits in the morning,... More

Lovely B&B, probably one of the cleanest place I've ever been in England. Excellent breakfast. Ian and Christine are very welcoming hosts, always there to help. Fair Rigg is a 15min walk from Bowness.. Considering one'd go to the Lake District to have nice walks, that'd be an easy one. Stayed in cosy Room 5. Nice view of the lake.... More

Our 3rd stay at Fair Rigg which was as enjoyable as ever. The quality of mattresses in use here is why we continue to choose Fair Rigg as this lets down so many other places. A bathroom with a bath is always very welcome after a tiring day. The whole place is spotlessly clean. There really is nothing to complain... More

We had the most pleasant stay in Fair Rigg. The rooms were nice and clean and Ian and Christine were most friendly host ever!!! Excellent choice of breakfast, loads of maps to choose and owners were glad to go extra and give advice on places to go (we were specificity interested in cycling routes) or restaurants to eat, there is...

This was our second visist to Fair Rigg and we found the same high standards had been maintained throughout. Our room was spotless, lovely sized bathroom with a decent sized bath. Breakfasts were tasty, with plenty of choice as well as the usual full English option. We tried one of Ian's walks, and saw the best variety of wildlife ever!!... More

We stayed at the Fair Rigg guest house for our anniversary and we were delighted with the house, the location and most of all the service. Ian and Christine helped to arrange all of the little extras over and above the high standard of service that made our anniversary stay in the Lake District the most memorable. The room was... More

What a perfect choice the Fair Rigg B&B is. Far enough out of Bowness to be away from the crowds and close enough to walk there if you want to. And in the car, central to all the attractions of the Lakes District. And that is just the location - the B&B itself was excellent. Ian and Christine were friendly... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at Fair Rigg last weekend and could not recommend it more. Ian and Christine were both very friendly and made us feel most welcome. The room we stayed in was lovely and the bed was extremely comfortable! Breakfast was delicious! Great weekend away from London, we will hopefully be back in the near future. More
