Lowbyer is brilliant
“My wife and I spent the night at Lowbyer and cannot recommend it highly enough. Jim and Janice are superb hosts and nothing is too much trouble for them. We then retired to the lovely snug bar and sunk a few drinks. The room we had was spotless, the bed was comfy and the breakfast ticked every box for us. We’ll definitely return, Lowbyer is brilliant.”
A warm welcome
“A warm welcome from some weary cyclists. Stayed May 2019”
Very comfortable room, friendly helpful service when booking
Very comfortable room, friendly helpful service when booking, arrival and during the stay. Excellent choice of cooked breakfast. Beautiful house with character and spacious lounge to relax in, as well as a bar.
Stayed for one night in a single room. The house is beautiful and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was delicious and the hosts went above and beyond! Thankyou so much for a lovely stay

Lovely Folks
“Lovely Folks” One of the most friendly places I have stayed. Ample parking at this premises and easy to find. The owners are very friendly and helpful and the cooking is just great. Lovely views and I will be staying again in the future.
Would highly recommend Lowbyer!
“Fabulous service from lovely helpful people” Booked as an overnight stop for the C2C, they made special arrangements to accommodate our dog, we rang ahead to say we were running late and they held back dinner for us and kindly offered to pick us up if we needed help due to the foggy conditions. Rooms were comfortable with loads of character, food lovely, hospitality excellent! Wished we could have stayed longer. Would highly recommend Lowbyer”
Lovely, warm, friendly hostess!
Lovely, warm, friendly hostess! Only stayed one night but was brilliant location for our husbands who are walking the Pennine Way! They could walk out from the Manor straight onto path. Rooms were very clean and well appointed. Good sized garden to wander in. Breakfast was excellent! Great menu, well cooked! We all enjoyed our cooked meals and really enjoyed the granola, seeds, fruit and yoghurt to start with! Exactly what I like! A character hotel which served our needs very well! Thank you!

Larger hotels take note
“Larger hotels take note. This is how you do customer service. We received a very warm welcome from Jim, Janice and staff after an 80 mile cycle. A slight hiccup with the booking was easily resolved and they were kind enough to cook something despite us not having a reservation and the kitchen winding down for the evening. They even rustled up a little STP for dessert when it wasn’t on the menu.”
Excellent hosts
“Excellent hosts. Warm welcome on arrival. Good local knowledge. Friendly staff. Hosts and locals made us feel very welcome. Lots of information on upcoming events. Great weekend. Hoping to visit again.
The house is beautiful and spotlessly clean
