About Us

Sunnyside Guest House


Paul and Nicky moved into Sunnyside in 2018 and since then have developed it into what it is today, a comfortable and relaxed place to stay that has all the facilities you’d expect from a quality hotel but in a smaller and more personal environment.You’ll meet both Paul and Nicky during your stay.

Nicky loves her crafts and baking, and you’ll experience both, especially her freshly made cakes in the guest lounge.Paul is a fell walker and photographer so if you’re looking for advise on where, when, and how to get around the fells just have a chat.


Sunnyside is adult only and offers seven quality rooms - 3 Double Rooms, 2 Twin Rooms and 2 Single Rooms.Although all are beautifully decorated and equipped there are two levels of comfort - standard and premium rooms – premium rooms are slightly larger with larger beds and facilities such as robes and slippers.


All the rooms have a very high standard of cleanliness and guests love the attention to detail and little touches.The aim is for you to feel like you’re the first person to stay in your room; it will be warm, clean and fresh.


In July 2024 we won the prestigous title of Cumbria Tourism B&B and Guest House of the Year
