Welcome to your guide to Lake District Guest Houses and Bed and Breakfasts
If you're looking for more economical
accommodation that's still of a high standard, you certainly need to be
selective, because unfortunately there's plenty of accommodation that's not so good in the
Lakes. Our aim here is to help you find a pleasant place to stay at
reasonable rates.

Hawkshead - Ann Tyson's House
 The eponymous Ann Tyson was landlady to William Wordsworth who lodged at her house as a boy while he attended the local grammar school, in or about the 1780s. Now her historic, Grade 2 listed, cottage has been transformed into a modern bed and breakfast guesthouse with all the facilities you would expect from a progressive establishment. There is a wide range of rooms, varying from those with full en-suite facilities to family rooms and single rooms. Some rooms are located on the ground floor for the benefit of the
less-able. Families will be pleased to note that children are made welcome, and dogs too. We are told that one of the rooms contains the antique bed once owned by the nineteenth century writer, John Ruskin, who lived nearby. You will receive a very warm welcome in the family run Ann
Tyson's House.

Windermere-
Latimer House
 Like
many of the houses in this part of the world, Latimer House was
built in the Victorian period to provide elegance and space in a
comfortable garden environment. All of these qualities remain firmly
in place now that Latimer House serves as guest accommodation.
Indeed, the success with which the owners, Mike and Sandy, have
updated this property is shown in the English Tourist Board's
accolade of Four Diamonds. This means you can be assured of every
comfort and convenience during your stay, down to residents'
parking, a wide choice of tastefully decorated rooms all maintained
to a high standard, a beautiful garden to relax in, and a convenient
location close to the shops, cinema and attractions of Bowness and
Windermere. What's even better is that you get your breakfast - the
high quality full English or something lighter to suit your taste -
served in your room each morning! Now that's a special touch of
luxury!

Bowness - The Old Court House
 The Old Court House was built in 1843 to serve as Magistrates Court, Police Station and village jail. Any miscreant who overindulged in the local
ale was thrown into the cells and dealt with by the Magistrates when he'd sobered up. These days, The Old Court House serves as an excellent bed and breakfast house and the standard of accommodation has improved immeasurably. The atmosphere is bright and cheerful and
the house is stylishly decorated. Bedrooms are all en-suite with modern accessories and some have handsome four-poster beds. Breakfast is taken in the attractive dining room, which provides a hearty full English together with fruit and cereals, with a vegetarian alternative if required. The Old Court House is very conveniently located in the centre of Bowness, just a few minutes from Lake Windermere and nearby a variety of restaurants and pubs.

Bowness - Laurel Cottage
 You would never guess that Laurel Cottage, built in 1613, was originally the old village school. It is certainly an education to see how well it has been transformed into a most comfortable bed and breakfast guesthouse, yet retaining the original historical features. The bedrooms, mostly en-suite, are individually and tastefully decorated in a bright and cheerful style, and Four Posters are available. The finest feature of the house is the original oak-beamed dining room where breakfast is served. Hosts, Syma and John, serve the traditional
"Westmorland breakfast", similar to the full English but with additional local fare, with a vegetarian alternative available. Syma and John are very welcoming and families should note that Laurel Cottage is child friendly with a reduced tariff for children.

Ambleside - Brathay Lodge
Brathay Lodge is a truly delightful property built around 1890 and totally
refurbished in a contemporary style which sets it apart from the majority
of accommodation in the area. The atmosphere combines relaxed informality
with quality accommodation, the standards of which equal those expected in
a prestigious hotel. The staff are very welcoming and will make sure that
your needs are respected - whether you want to enjoy a quiet time or a
more social one, you can be sure of a highly enjoyable stay at
Brathay Lodge. We were especially impressed by the bedrooms, all of which
are equipped with that most essential feature - king sized beds! Decorated
in contemporary style to a very high standard, these rooms offer
exceptional standards of comfort and elegance. There are several rooms
available with wooden floors which are suitable for those of you who wish
to take a pet along, and there is a specially reserved outdoor area for
smokers to enjoy their pleasure!
The thought and care which has gone into all aspects of
the refurbishment of Brathay Lodge is very apparent even on the website, which
has facilities for online booking. This attention to detail continues all
the way through from the moment you arrive to the time of your departure, ensuring
that whatever the purpose of your visit to the Lakes, it will be enhanced by the wonderful accommodation on offer at Brathay Lodge. There is a large private
off-road car park which lets you enjoy the many local walks during the
day; for your evening meal there is an abundance of excellent restaurants
in the area. Finally, for those who prefer their Lakes pastimes wet and
muddy (and even for those who don't!) there are drying facilities to
ensure you have a comfortable trip. A superb buffet breakfast, free
wireless internet access, and membership of the Langdale Leisure Club
complete your luxury package!

Ambleside - Wanslea Guest House
Wanslea is situated on the south side of Ambleside five
minutes' walk from the lake and six to seven minutes walk from the town
centre. All rooms have en-suite bathroom facilities. The standard rooms
are very pleasant, but the real gems here are the luxury themed rooms,
which far surpass any expectations one may have of the usual bed and
breakfast establishment. Indeed, it's a credit to the proprietors that
they have had the far-sightedness to move into luxury hotel territory with
king sized beds, wide screen TVs, and spa baths - but at a rate far lower
than you would pay in a luxury hotel! It's no surprise, then, to find that
Wanslea is AA four star rated, an accolade of which it is well deserving.

six bedrooms which offer multiple possibilities of rooms for individuals
or groups. Lyndale is only a few minutes' walk from Waterhead where you
can catch the steamers, and it's right on the doorstep of Ambleside, if
you prefer to visit the town. The breakfasts are excellent, with a choice
of the traditional Cumbrian or a healthier alternative, and Alison and
Alan will do all they can to meet your requirements. Pets are
accommodated, and the house has the convenience of an on-line room
availability check and booking system.

 Ambleside - 2 Cambridge Villas
2 Cambridge Villas is a stately Lakeland house of character built in the
late nineteenth century of Lakeland stone, centrally located in the
charming village of Ambleside. But this residence is more that just a
traditional house. Proprietors Bridget and Charlie give you a warm welcome
into their own home. The accommodation has recently been refurbished and
is most comfortable, with an option of en-suite rooms, twins or doubles,
with some single rooms.
Bridget and Charlie insist on local produce for their breakfast menu, the
traditional English, with an alternative of Continental or vegetarian. One
particular feature of the establishment is that it is mountain bike
friendly, even providing a pressure washer to remove embedded mud. We don’t
indulge in mountain biking ourselves, but those who do tell us that nearby
is the 10-mile North Face Mountain bike trial, one of the most fearsome in
the country.

Ambleside - Broadview Guest House
 Broadview is
one of those friendly guest houses which can make your stay in the Lakes
so much nicer than just "a break". The great hospitality on offer at
Broadview, including very comfortable rooms (most have ensuite
facilities), and all the different and delicious options that are
available for breakfast, will set up up for a great day on the fells or
looking round the local attractions. Your hosts Alan and Sue will be
happy to tell you about the options for exploring the area. There's also
the huge benefit of free local parking, with a permit that also gives
you free parking in many other car parks around the South Lakes.
The four stars awarded by the AA are testimony to Alan and Sue's success
in creating a superb environment for their guests. Alan and Sue know
that many guests wish to have a peaceful stay and therefore welcome
families who have older children, couples and friends touring the Lakes.
This ensures that the peaceful atmosphere they have created is
maintained for guests who like this kind of environment.
There are six rooms, most en-suite or with private
bathroom, including doubles, twin and a room that sleeps three people.
All rooms have a TV and
DVD player, along with full tea and coffee making facilities, a small fridge,
bathrobes, fluffy towels, and hairdryer - plus, of course, the little extras that
make your stay more comfortable. Best of all, one room has a king sized 4-poster
bed, ideal for that special romantic get-away!
Last but not least, for enthusiastic walkers, there are drying facilities, maps, guides and packed lunches
available.

 Ambleside - Compston House American Bed and Breakfast
Compston House is a most delightful and authentic American guesthouse, hosted by native New Yorkers, Sue and Jerry. It has the true
flavour of the States with genuine art deco furnishings of the 1940s era in the guest lounge. The bedrooms are
all furnished with an individual theme, named after American states, and are kitted out with all the modern
comforts.
Breakfast offers the alternatives of the traditional English or American style complete with home made waffles using an American recipe. All eggs are free range and the ham (bacon) comes from local farms. Travellers arriving by
car are assured of free parking.
We are, of course, true Brits and think of everything in the Lakes as very English, but we really enjoyed this out of the ordinary experience, especially the pancakes. If you are American, you will find Compston House a taste of home. If you are not, you'll love this Stateside encounter.

"Bee and Bee" theme. Proprietors Christine and David tell us that they are apiarists, that is beekeepers to you and me, hence the ubiquitous bees in the surrounding décor. Christine and David have certainly paid a lot of attention to decoration and comfort. The bedrooms are all en-suite and warm and
cozy. Breakfast here is the very best. Christine tells us that all eggs are free range and the bacon and sausages are local produce. What is more, Christine grills rather than fries, a healthier alternative, which has our complete approval. Also you must try the homemade honey from Christine and David’s own hives. And the tariff is very affordable so you won’t get stung by the bill!

Ravenglass - The Coachman’s Quarters, Muncaster Castle
In olden
times, the coachmen presumably used to sleep here in the company
of the horses. How times have changed! Now the stable block is
divided into comfortable rooms with every modern convenience
including en-suite facilities and television in the rooms. It is
hard to believe that this modern accommodation is actually an
ancient building, but if you look carefully at the walls, you
can discern the old arch brackets, which supported the roof. We
are told that horseshoes are embedded in the walls for good
luck.
Breakfast is now the full English, served in a bright and cheery breakfast room. Sadly no horses can be admitted but provision is made for the parking of horseless carriages. A great advantage of The Coachman’s Quarters is that free admission is given to the castle gardens, well worth seeing, and reduced admission to the castle itself, which is haunted by several ghosts including the legendary jester Tom Fool.

Shap - New Ing Farm
 This property was once a working farm
and before that a coaching inn. Nowadays, the Lodge provides comfort
with style in the Lake District National Park - but the prices are
very affordable! The owners tell me that they believe a holiday in
the Lake District should offer tranquillity and serenity, as well as
a beautiful environment, and who can argue with that? The eastern
and northern fells and the Eden Valley are all within easy reach of
New Ing, as is historic Shap Abbey and the Rheged Discovery Centre.
New Ing is located directly on the Wainwright Coast to Coast Walk,
and is just 200 metres from the famous Cumbrian Way, the
Westmoreland Way, and the exciting Lakeland Round.
Some of the best mountain bike tracks in the UK are located on the
doorstep, and the property hires out mountain bikes, though they
have many more activities including orienteering, kayaking,
wilderness camping and climbing, with the added bonus of bush-craft
skills courses! An excellent breakfast is provided, with porridge,
the full English breakfast, continental breakfast or a superb range
of vegetarian food. Evening meals and packed lunches are available
on request. And last but not least, there are dorm rooms with some
camping in the grassy paddock at the back of the building. As
well as en-suite rooms, the Lodge offers bunkroom beds from £12.50.

Keswick - Honister House
You'll
receive a very warm welcome from John and Susie Stakes at Honister
House, a charming property which has the distinction of being one of
the oldest in Keswick. It's located just off the market square, so
it couldn't be more convenient for the town's attractions and
shopping centre. A very interesting feature of Honister House
is that all the en-suite rooms feature eye-catching paintings and
prints of Lakeland by local artists. The rooms are superbly
decorated and equipped with all the little touches that make life
easy.
Honister House is AA 4 Star rated and has a Best Breakfast Award.
And for the vegetarian traveller, Honister House is a real oasis:
John and Susie have Vegetarian Society approval. They use locally
sourced food wherever possible, and make a point of using organic
and Fairtrade produce.
Cyclists are most welcome, as are walkers, who'll receive expert
guidance with dozens of local walking guides available. If you just
want to enjoy the charm of Keswick, with this fascinating period
house as your base, well, the town is right on your doorstep!

Keswick - Seven Oaks
 Seven Oaks is a modern Bed and Breakfast Guesthouse, located in an exclusive
and quiet part of Keswick. Owners Linda and Chris always provide a warm
welcome to travellers and offer a choice of bedrooms, en-suite rooms, twins
or doubles, with some family rooms. All rooms are very well decorated and are
bright and cheerful, with magnificent views of the surrounding fells. Linda
and Chris insist on local produce for their breakfast menu, the traditional
Cumberland, with an alternative of Continental or vegetarian, served with Fairtrade tea or coffee. One particular feature of the establishment is that
Chris is an expert fell walker and can offer tips on routes and opportunities
for spotting wildlife. We found Seven Oaks to be the ideal base-camp for our
Cumbria Way walk.

Keswick - The Grange
The
Grange Guest House, Keswick, offers fine
quality bed and breakfast
accommodation on the outskirts of the lovely market town of
Keswick. Since the property was awarded 5
Star Guest House status by both Visit Britain and the AA in August 2008, you can be assured that
your stay will be more than comfortable, and you'll be well looked after by Mark
and Sally and the whole team.
The wonderful views and location of the Grange, together with
the quality of facilities and welcome at this traditional B&B, have attracted returning guests for many years.
There are many facilities which you would expect in a 4 star hotel: ample off-street parking, a superb freshly prepared Cumbrian breakfast, free 24hour wifi
access, a comfortable lounge, and a scenic outdoor terrace. And the house
is fully
licensed - which makes the prospect of a cold beer or bottle of wine drunk
to the sight of the setting sun behind the fells rather delightful after a
long day's walking! There's also a lovely lounge in which you can settle
down to read or play chess and other games including
backgammon.
The bedrooms are spacious and tasteful, beautifully decorated, each
furnished with quality bedding and flat screen televisions with digital
channels. You can choose from a selection of fair trade drinks in your
room, with mineral water and high quality toiletries provided with the
owners' compliments.
The Grange offers a quiet and
relaxing break in good company, with the opportunity to take in local
walks and
sightseeing. Being near to Keswick allows you to enjoy the town in the
evening with only a short walk home!
