Nestled in the Eskdale Valley, Bower House Inn is 4 miles from the Cumbrian coast. This 17th century 3 star inn offers superb food in its restaurant and rooms with en suite bathrooms.

The Pennington Hotel, hotel in Eskdale

This 16th-century estuary-front hotel in Ravenglass, a former coaching inn, offers free Wi-Fi and fine local food in its brasserie-style restaurant.

The first day was not as good as second day, bacon looked like it had been made hours earlier even though we were 1 of the first in as was black pudding. The rest was fine. The room was excellent though we found the toilet extremely hard to flush.

NEWFIELD INN, hotel in Eskdale

Set in Broughton in Furness, 31 km from World of Beatrix Potter, NEWFIELD INN offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant.

Did the job, cute wee room above a traditional Cumbrian pub. Great place to stay if you also want to enjoy some real ales and Cumbrian food. The staff were all lovely and it had good heating (not always the case in these parts). The breakfast the next day was tasty and served in front of a roaring fire.

    I can't fit this on a simple review.

    I can't fit this on a simple review. If you like the great outdoors just go and explore. One of my favourite spots in Cumbria. No lake, but it makes up for this in scenery and crystal clear mountain streams.

    Ganny cottage was the perfect choice for a relaxing weekend...

    Ganny cottage was the perfect choice for a relaxing weekend away with our dog. There are so many amazing walks from the doorstep and there are some lovely dog friendly pubs in Boot which you can find on foot. The food and service in the Brook house Inn was great. We Recommend the Stanley Ghyll waterfall, it was spectacular, and only a short walk from the cottage.

    Stayed in Eskdale many times.

    Stayed in Eskdale many times. We keep returning because it's quite than done places in the Lake District, fell and mountains walk are abundant. Several local pubs offer food including the Woolpack Inn which do excellent pizza and chunky chips. Suits us and our active lifestyle.

    Eskdale is a small village near Wasdale so it is not too far...

    Eskdale is a small village near Wasdale so it is not too far from Scafell etc.. Cumbria and the Lakes is a huge area with limited access by road so staying near your plans of adventure is a quite key now (fuel) and time on the road. I have stayed in Eskdale (the area) quite a few times now in different accommodation. It is what I want ie staying in the countryside of this beautiful place, you have your village shop and pubs and inns, leave your woes on a tree somewhere well before you get there and feel the tranquillity of why you came in the first place.

    Eskdale is a wonderfully quiet part of the Lake district...

    Eskdale is a wonderfully quiet part of the Lake district with stunning views and a good base for exploring Wasdale with all its mountains and the spectacular Wastwater. Also access to the little railway and the passes over to Landgdale and the busy Lake district. All roads out of Eskdale have great views. It is even handy for the unspoiled coastline. One of the best places to get away from the crowds.

    Eskdale is for walkers.

    Eskdale is for walkers. The paths we trod had clear signposts. The paths were well used. We were fortunate with the weather and the views were amazing. But that is what we went for. We also travelled on the Ravenglass Eskdale miniature railway which is always great fun.It is enjoyed by all ages. I would avoid walking on any of the roads. The hotel is on the road which leads to Hardknott and Wrynose Passes and some (not all) drivers, clearly from a city environment, are so intent on crossing the passes they have no consideration for any people walking along the roads. The actual road surface could do with a lot of patching. Eskdale has more than its fair share of potholes!

    We stayed in Lamplugh house at Irton hall in a group of 5.. got there late after Scafell Pike but the hotel staff were very nice and accommodating as we had a meal booked but had to change the time.. There was a log fire with wood to burn in the property which was lovely after we came in from the cold although it has central heating.. wish we stayed longer as it was a lovely place and will be booking again ..

    Forest How is a little gem tucked away in a quiet corner of Eskdale surrounded by a beautiful garden filled with the sounds of birds and frequented by red squirrels. No faux boutique touches here just the perfect guest house, quintessentially English, done to perfection. Best of all are the wonderful breakfasts served up by friendly mother and daughter team who run the show.

    On the description of the hotel it said it was one of the oldest hotels in the lakes which was really cool, the images however absolutely did not replicate the place. It was so run down ragged and stinky. My images of the room are to show how astonishing and completely gobsmacked i was by this

    Hotel was quaint and clean, was great to have access to a kitchen on site, too. Location is lovely - lots of nice walks and Inns nearby, peaceful garden behind the property too. Stanley Ghyll Waterfall and the Japanese Garden in Giggle Alley were particular highlights for walking.

    It's such a relaxing, family and animal friendly vibe at Irton Hall and it's great to be in the middle of nowhere, yet still be so close to all the amazing sights and attractions in the Wasdale and Eskdale Valley.

    The hotel itself is a little tired but otherwise comfortable. The food is excellent, hearty fare with a good selection of beer and wine. It is an ideal location to explore the western lakes.

    The location is fantastic: overlooking the Eskdale Railway. It’s a beautiful old house with gorgeous reception rooms! If I’d wanted to cook, the communal kitchen had everything I’d need.
