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.

The property is located a little above Bassenthwaite Lake / A66, surrounded by amazing views and scenery, between Keswick and Cockermouth. The entire stay was a beautiful experience and we were well taken care by the amazing hosts Pete and Katie. Thank you Pete for the recommendation Wythop Mill Hill and Riverside Bar at Rosthwaite.

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
