Bed and Breakfast | Eskdale | The Lake District

Discover Eskdale and the Western Lakes by staying at Stanley House, one of the newest bed and breakfast guest accommodation venues in Cumbria.

Comfortable, relaxed, friendly accommodation on the doorstep of the fells, the La'al Ratty railway, the river Esk and all the fine Inns of Boot and Eskdale Green.

Situated in the heart of the Lake District National Park, the valley of Eskdale can be explored by all, with nearby Wastwater in Wasdale - voted Best View in Britain 2009, and other great local attractions such as Muncaster Castle and the Owl Trust, the award winning Sellafield Visitors Centre, to the Maritime Festival town of Whitehaven - an ancient smugglers haven.

On offer is a labyrinth of walks from the gentle low land paths along the River Esk, to the more strenuous heights of Scafell Pike.

New owners, Harry and Paddington Berger - formerly of The Boot Inn, introduce 12 well appointed ensuite rooms all enjoying views of the valley, the surrounding fells, or the garden and rivers.

Bring the dog - half our rooms are dog friendly, bring a bottle of wine or two, but most of all enjoy the surroundings.

Arrive anytime - just let us know so we can greet you and show you around - then come and go as you please.

Use the dining room for snacking in, to get a glass or use a corkscrew.

Relaxation on those quieter or wetter days can also be enjoyed, either with a DVD from our library on your own television, sitting by the log fire in one of the sitting rooms, or hiding yourself away and secretly playing on your favourite Playstation game in another.

....more than just bed and breakfast; the rest is on the doorstep.
