🌅 Sunset views from The Wayside 🧡
We've seen quite spectacular sunsets this summer so far, and now it's the time of the year when the sun sets in to the sea, visible from our grounds. It’s always lovely to see guests step outside in the calm of the evening to admire the view.

Glendronach 21 year old "Parliament" (48%)
This 21-year-old expression (matured in a combination of Oloroso and PX sherry casks) seems to have been discontinued recently as the distillery updated its core range. Lovely full body whisky with strong wood and spices.

Showcasing our local beaches - Gutterby, a quiet 25-minute walk away. You can also visit Silecroft, just a 4-minute drive where you can treat yourself with coffee & cakes at the café.
Visit at low tide if you can.
This is one of the many reasons we love the western Lake District. #lovewestlakes

#HerdwickSheep on the #LakeDistrictCoast! 🐑 Spotted these cheeky escapees during a quick walk along the coastal path from Silecroft. They may have naughtily wandered beyond the field fence, but they certainly made for a picture for us. #LoveWestLakes #lakedistrict #englandcoastpath #englandcoast

How cheerful are these daffodils? We love bringing a touch of seasonal beauty indoors, using flowers from our own garden whenever we can. The daffodils are nearing the end of their season now - but the bluebells will be blooming soon!🌿

A glimpse of the courtyard just a couple of days ago - the chilly air almost had a blue hue to it. But this morning, a warm spring breeze brushed my face... what a delight!

#Tamdhu Batch Strength No.7.
For me, this whisky evoked a childhood memory of indulging in a marron glacé, dipped in brandy & wrapped in gold paper. The faint tannins on the finish even remind me of the bitterness of chestnut skin.🌰
Do you have a #whisky that makes you remember old memories?

Captured in Dec, this video highlights the hidden gems of the Lake District - #lakedistrictcoast which is just a short drive or a quiet 2km walk from The Wayside. Whether you're looking for a serene stroll, a scenic running route (with/without your dog), these beaches are a must-visit year-round.
