Dufton House Bed And Breakfast. Nr. Cockermouth, Lake District

First batch of marmalade done for this year! Looking good!! Only another 2kilos of Seville oranges to prep!!

A very Happy New Year to all our friends & guests. We look forward to welcoming you back to Dufton House hopefully when the weather picks up! It's rain & gales here like the rest of the country! Roll on Spring !!!

Got a write up in the local paper!! How cool is that!

Freddie being a great help picking the blackcurrants he even negotiated a good rate of pocket money £1 per kilo! He earned £1.85! Not bad for 7 year old! Better crack on with the jam making

That's a better picture of the famous granola!

Must have been the homemade Granola lovingly prepared by Bev! Don't you just love him!

Great news we've just had our annual inspection from Visit Britain & not only have we got our 4 stars & breakfast award again this year we've been given a SilverAward for excellence!! How chuffed our we !!!!

well it looked fairly easy to do when Paul Hollywood did these Hot Cross buns on tv but I preserved!! They taste better than they look!! Think I need a bit more practice! Wonder what my guests will think of them at breakfast?? Watch this space :)
