I made the mistake of not checking last check in, but they allowed me to check in past 8pm. The room was a bit cozy. I was by myself so it was fine for me. Otherwise it might be a bit tight. Breakfast is from 8:00-9:45. Since I arrived so late, Sam (or Simon) offered to hold the kitchen for 15 min longer so I could sleep in which was very generous. Breakfast was so good! I had the Lakeland breakfast two mornings which included an egg, baked beans, black pudding, sausage, bacon, tomato, and mushrooms. I hate beans so I didn't get beans. It did come with toast and there's plenty of butter, marmalade, and marmite for you to use. When I first sat down, someone immediately asks me if I want a pot of tea. They also have hot chocolate and decaf if you choose. This was the perfect location. 5 min away from the nearest bus stop and the town. There are lots of small shops and restaurants to try. One thing I didn't like is that there are not a lot of lights on around the town late at night, but that's not really the establishments fault more like the town.

The Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway is a fantastic narrow gauge railway that runs up and down the…read morebeautiful Eskdale valley between Ravenglass and Boot. Most carriages are open but some are covered for when the Cumbrian rains come. Most trains are steam hauled by amazing scale models of steam trains - though some services are diesel hauled. Boot itself is a small village (visit the fantastic Boot Inn while you're there) whereas Ravenglass is a fairly sleepy seaside town with a beach area, shops, pubs and restaurants. A fantastic day out is to cycle down the Eskdale cycle path (much of it off-road) from Boot to Ravenglass and then put your bikes on the train and get hauled back up the valley to your starting point. Note though that to carry bikes on the train you do need to book ahead to ensure that they have space available.

We had seen a take up sign for them and knowing we couldn't keep up with the days hike with a broken boot gave Mitchell a call thinking we would head into town and get a new boot. Well he knew of a little service station that sold boots! Took us there and got us back on the trail in less than 30 minutes. Totally saved our hike just as we were starting to get to the best part of the country side. And the price was right!
