A wonderful nights sleep!

Arriving at Bongate we wondered about the road noise...but our room overlooked the beautiful gardens and the field and was really peaceful. Breakfast was delicious and service attentive. Thank you for a lovely stay

We only stayed one night but it was a fabulous stay and we’d highly recommend Bongate house. The location is perfect - only a few minutes walk into Appleby town centre. Anbe was the most obliging host; warm and welcoming with everything well organised. She even booked us a table at a local pub for our evening meal. The room was spacious and clean with well stocked refreshments. The bed was very comfortable with crisp white linen. Breakfast was superb and there was a wide selection of high quality foods and drinks; nothing was too much trouble. We wish Anne all the best and hope to stop here again in the future.

Staying with our dog

The owner Anne could not have been more helpful and friendly and keen to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The Bondgate is pet friendly and this was the first time we had stayed in a place with our dog. It was very easy and welcoming.

great b&b

Arrived later than expected, we were provided with sandwiches etc to save us going into town. Best bed I've slept in for a long time. Dog friendly.
