Forest How Guest House

Delightful B&B situated in gorgeous countryside. Room was charming and very fresh and clean. Beautiful views of grasslands and mountains we were able to watch deer grazing and running around. We saw the local owl out on his evening hunting. The breakfasts were delicious and we sat in the sunny conservatory every morning surrounded by wild birds and red squirrels! Corrine was incredibly kind and welcoming, keen to give us ideas for hiking routes, local pubs, wild swimming and more. She really went out of her way to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Cannot recommend this Guest House enough! Want to come back soon!

With the weather set to be good for an adventure on the high fells we made a spontaneous decision to travel to the beautiful valley of Eskdale. After a Google search for accomodation we spotted Forrest how nestled below Moncaster fell on the outskirts of the lovely village of Eskdale green. We were warmly welcomed by Corrine and taken to our room with a view!! And what a view !! dual aspect windows gave for far ranging views over the fell side gardens to the mountains beyond. The room was spotlessly clean , warm and comfortable. If you're looking for peace and relaxation then you will not be disappointed. The gardens are a haven for wildlife, (don't forget you're binoculars) so many birds visiting the garden. The sight of red squirrels was a joy! Corrine and Kate were so friendly and cooked a lovely breakfast for us served in the conservatory. We had the most joyous three days staying at Forrest How. We can't wait to return .

Red squirrels watching you eat your lovely cooked brekkie! Veggie options. Amazing setting with orchards, woods and gardens. Very dog friendly, unusual for a guest house ❤️ Nice extra touches, packed lunch had surprise dog treats and the biggest gooey homemade flapjack. Will be back!

The location is perfect. Lovely tranquil spot off the main road. To get there you cross a bridge over the enchanted narrow guage Ravendale and Eskdale railway line. The Irton Rail Road Station is beside the main road. There is an enjoyable bridal path running past the front of the house leading to numerous beautiful walk options, even without needing a car. Our room was very clean and confortable. It overlooked the garden with wonderful views. Breakfast was superb. There is an extensive selection to chose from for an individual experience. We availed of their packed lunch and was not dissapointed with the quality or quantity of what was supplied.

A lovely place to base yourself for a stay in Eskdale…excellent food, very clean & comfortable accommodation. Breakfast in the conservatory next to the red squirrels and numerous other wildlife species is an absolute joy. Excellent value for money.

We mainly saw Corrine - one of the owners - during our stay and she was absolutely lovely. The breakfasts were plentiful, cooked from quality ingredients and extremely tasty. We bought homemade packed lunches from Corrine and these were equally as tasty and plentiful; especially the homemade fruit cake and flapjack! Our rooms were charming, very clean, comfy beds and the views from the windows were outstanding - mountains, forest, birds and wildlife galore! We were lucky enough to spot a female deer one evening and then two adolescents running across the field on another evening. Every morning, we were entertained at breakfast by adult and baby squirrels. And birds... wow... Corrine laid out a massive feast of seeds, nuts, fatballs, etc. for every type of woodland/forest bird and boy did they make the most of it! We literally saw - in droves - every type of woodland/forest bird there is in the UK; a pure delight to witness. If you like peace, quiet, a comfy bed, delicious breakfasts, lovely hosts and lots of wildlife, please do not hesitate to book here.
