A bed and breakfast is offering guests a llama to stay in their room.

Llama's Pyjamas, in Cumbria, charges Â£40 a night for a room. Guests can choose to have a llama stay with them during their visit for no extra cost.

Mary Walker, owner of the B&B, opened the business next to her trekking centre which homes 18 llamas, Metro reports.

She said: "It's like being with a friend. The animals are so relaxing and put you at ease.

"People expect them to be like horses but they are such gentle creatures. They are classed as the dolphins of the animal world."

She added: "They're like no other animal you will have handled before. They bond with you and cuddle and kiss you but, in the same way, they aren't in your face."

Walker also runs the Llama Karma Kafe and visitor centre with her family.
