Link House

We have lived in the Lakes for many years and enjoy walking and exploring the local area. If you need any advice on walks or visitor attractions please don't hesitate to ask!

We have decorated Link House in a sympathetic way to the period whilst adding modern twists for your comfort. We have a guest lounge with a fridge for you to use along with a lovely garden with picnic benches so you can relax.

Link House is a late Victorian Country Guest House, situated close to Bassenthwaite Lake with stunning views of both forests and fells. Traditionally built, this country house enjoys stunning views of the forest and surrounding fells including the 3046 feet Skiddaw and Sale Fell. The sunny aspect gives a warm and comfortable atmosphere in which to relax and feel at home. We are situated a short distance from the A66 at the northern tip of Bassenthwaite Lake; approximately 8 miles from the popular tourist town of Keswick and 5 miles from the old market town of Cockermouth with the X5 bus stop outside the door. Link House is in the quieter part of the Lake District National Park, yet with access to many interesting places to visit such as the Whinlatter Visitor Centre and Dodd Wood where the Ospreys who nest nearby each year, can be viewed. It makes an ideal base for walkers, cyclists, sailors ( we are 500 metres to Bassenthwaite Sailing Club), wedding guests ( less than 2 miles from Armathwaite Hall), or anyone attending courses at Higham Hall. We are also within walking distance of Bassenthwaite Lake Station, The Pheasant Inn and The Lakes Distillery.
