Absolutely everything, the professionalism of the staff, the amazing scenic view from the room (number 1 and number 3 as we decided to stay an extra night), the amazing bed. They were also very accommodating with our dog, and the dog walk around the hotel is marvellous! The restaurant food was also really great! And so was the breakfast! Thank you

    Bassenthwaite Lake is a quiet mostly forgotten part of the lakes but offers a good place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of nearby Keswick. It offers easy parking, good quality and good value accommodation and some great pubs and restaurants.

    Beautiful part of Cumbria.

    Beautiful part of Cumbria. If you are nervous of very narrow roads think twice of places like Buttermere and Loweswater...if you are Ok then that also is a lovely area to explore but do not expect lots of shops etc but you will find a warm welcome from local farm shops/cafes and the like. Expect to pay for loos and if you are a NT member you are laughing otherwise carry change and/or your card for car parking. On the narrow roads, the things that look like laybys are in fact passing places and should you meet a bus or tractor at one of these places then you will appreciate how vital they are. Bassenthwaite Lake is centrally positioned for both Keswick/ Grasmere and Ambleside and the lovely Cumbrian Coast. What you might not realise is that there is a lovely drive across to Carlise (the Border city) going through the lovely Caldbeck burial place for John Peel. An easy ride for a different day out. Bassenthwaite Lake has several eating places and we used The Pheasant Inn but there are several others nearby including the old Bassenthwaite Lake train station. Workington, Whitehaven and Maryport are working towns with their own carbuncles and beautiful old buildings. Whitehaven has a lovely harbour and a super bookshop. Workington has a selection of shops and Maryport has a lovely harbour too tho' very different to Whitehaven but the coast os wonderful. I recomend leaving your car at Maryport and taking the train down the coast to Barrow in Furness. If you like to explore...get the feel of a place and not just eat ice cream and mingle with crowds this is the quieter part of Cumbria....my birth county so I admit to being just a little biased!!

    Bassenthwaite Lake is one of the less touristy areas. It is very natural and beautiful. There are water sports available but there doesn’t seem to be a good walking path around the lake. There are eateries either walkable from the accommodation or within a couple of miles.

    Great location (just off A66), opposite Bassenthwaite Lake. Very well kept with lovely outdoor area. Room was very comfortable with all the amenities you need with a lovely view of the meadow. Breakfast was perfectly cooked with a wide range of options available (order online the day before). Hosts Karen & Tim were lovely; not obtrusive but there is you needed anything. Great value for money and would highly recommend.

    The location was wonderful - barely 20 minutes to Keswick or the coastal towns, and half that to Cockermouth. Views across the lake were lovely, with walks possible from the hotel itself without driving. Virginia and Ben were lovely when we met them, and were so helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was also delicious.

    Comfortable place to come back to after a long day out, the cottage was clean and warm and very pretty too. Right on Bassenthwaite lake it is just off the main road so a convenient place to get around the lake District from. Hosts were very accommodating and make a lovely breakfast
