Myself and my daughter had a lovely warm welcome when we arrived at Fairlights. The owner, her daughter and other staff go above and beyond to make your stay a pleasant one. Our room and the communal areas were absolutely spotlessly clean. The breakfast was delicious and set us up for the day. We spent the weekend here to walk the Ullswater way, but didn't finish the walk. So when we come back to complete it, we will definitely stay here again.
Excellent location from which my group started a hike up Helvellyn via Striding Edge. Really good service, the owner was very friendly and helpful. There are 4 parking spaces available out in front of the building. There are lots of tables available where we had breakfast. Breakfast was excellent with lots of different cooked options available, including vegetarian. There were also cereals, toast, yoghurt, fruit and juices available. The rooms were very comfortable and the bathroom had a good shower. Clean towels, tea, coffee and bathroom products were also available. It's a lovely place to stay & I hope to be able to come back in the future.
A lovely stay. Rooms were good quality and a great breakfast in the morning. Would stay again. Thank you!
Review for the cafe only:
Went in for a late lunch and ordered a burger from their specials board. The service was prompt, the burger tasted great and was huge (contained a burger patty, chicken fillet and bacon), the chips on the side were very crunchy on the outside (double fried?) and there was just the right amount for me.
Perfect meal after a hike when feeling very hungry and craving for a simple but rich food . Great value too - a single plate for £13.50 was enough to fill me up. Will definitely be going back when in the area.
We stayed for four nights in late October. Clean, comfortable, warm and excellent breakfast, friendly host, good communication and fantastic location - did not need to use the car once during our stay. - What more could you want? Will return.

It is a lovely, friendly place that's a home from home. The host was lovely , funny at times & had us in stitches!! She was very helpful & couldn't do enough to make our break perfect.
It's 'no frills' , but we had everything we needed for a short break. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the breakfasts were more than adequate & I would definitely return.
Visited the Fairlight cafe for something to eat. Welcoming and homely cafe in a wonderful setting. Perfectly prepared all day breakfast.
Absolutely fantastic breakfast and latte was very nice and the staff are very pleasant. I don't usually eat mushrooms on the breakfast as most places I find tend to be hit or miss but the ones at Fairlight were a hit
Great location in the middle of Glenridding. Room was lovely and toasty & very clean. Breakfast was substantial with very attentive staff. Recommended 😃
Loved my stay at Fairlight, the room was comfortable and well stocked with tea/coffee/biscuits and the shower was just what I needed after a long day’s walk. Namia literally couldn’t do enough for me; nothing was too much trouble, she’s so helpful and kind. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat, highly recommended.
