The moment we stepped into the hotel we felt at home...the staff treated us like family and offered sound advice when asked about hikes nearby and sites worthy of our time and attention. The dining options were very satisfying and varied in menu options. Delicious and well sized proportions.

Plenty of car parking right outside the hotel. I arrived late but the member of staff was very helpful. I had an early start the next day and the staff gave me a continental breakfast to take with me. My room was a single on the top floor. Comfortable, quiet and everything working in the room. The shower was powerful and plenty of hot water. The TV worked well and was clean. The WiFi was efficient. Good value for money. Thank you.

We loved Bassingthwaite lake as it was surrounded by lovely woods for walking, pretty villages and easy access to main roads but away from the bustle of the main towns. Plenty of restaurants to choose from too. Our favourite places were Dodds wood, Mirehouse and gardens with a walk down to the lakeside and Lingholme estate ,where apart from a marvellous restaurant, there were llamas to see and walk with.

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.

We had a fantastic stay. Tim & Karen made us feel very welcome and are just so lovely. The view from our beautiful room was amazing especially when we watched the sunrise. From cleanliness to the beautiful food it was perfect. Thank you we will definitely be staying with you again .

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.

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.

Stayed for 2 days. Perfect location as was meeting friends who were staying in the area. The hosts Karen and Tim could have not been more accommodating. From the moment we arrived to the time we left the hospitality was excellent. The breakfast on both days were cooked to perfection. Wide, varied choice on the pre ordering menu. First night ate at Ruddings hotel about 10 mins away by car, excellent food and services.

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.

It was in a beautiful, quiet location a few minutes walk from Bassenthwaite lake. We had a very cosy room with a lovely view. The breakfasts were superb! The hosts, Peter & Katie were very attentive and couldn't have done more for us on our stay. There was also easy and safe parking behind the property.

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
