The room was pleasant and a good size. Beds comfy. The chap serving in the restaurant/bar was very helpful and accommodating as we hadn't booked a table. We got the impression from the website that bar food was available, but it is definitely a sit-down restaurant!
The breakfast room was well stocked, and the cooked option was hot and tasty.
Perfect for a one night stop over before we reached our rented accommodation for the week. Would use the hotel again.
A 5-minute drive from Bassenthwaite Lake, Ravenstone Manor is an 19th-century manor house set in 3 hectares of ground. The property is at the foot of Skiddaw, overlooking Bassenthwaite Lake.

With beautiful views of the Northern Fells, Ravenstone Lodge is 5 miles from Keswick, at the foot of Ullock Pike so you can relax in the conservatory or on the terrace and enjoy some of the best Lake...

The location is great. Stunning views and accessible walks from the property. I noticed a bus stop outside the entrance, although we never used it I’m sure if we had stayed longer it would have been handy. The grounds are stunning, the garden is well maintained and beautiful. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful, the staff are attentive and happy to help. The concierge staff couldn’t be more welcoming and helpful, even after a late check-in time. There are thoughtful touches that really make you feel looked after, such as: the forecasted weather being printed, reusable bottles, pamphlets available and knowledgeable staff too.
The specials for dinner looked incredible, had we not spent the first two days out all day walking and sightseeing we would have loved to have made it in time for an evening meal at the B&B. It smelled amazing when we returned!
The view from our little room was lovely! We could hear the birds (and the lambs) in the morning which was a wonderful experience.
You can catch a beautiful sunset from the grounds as it dips behind the peaks. The walk down the the lake is apparently 30 mins although we never got a chance to go down, I was told the walk is pleasant.
Against the stunning backdrop of Skiddaw and the Uldale Fells, this 18th-century country house is set within 18 acres of beautiful gardens and woodland, and guests can spot resident red squirrels,...

If you are looking for a quiet, break with beautiful views and walks on the doorstep this is the place to stay. If you want facilities i.e. a shop and places to eat within walking distance then this is probably too remote. We loved walking through the grounds and walking up Binsey, which is the closest small mountain. Keswick, is only about a half hour drive which has lots of facilities and a great supermarket.

Ireby itself is a small village about 1 miles walk from the property. It has a pub but no other facilities. We ate at the Greyhound a few miles away. This was ok and value for money. You definitely need a car to access other areas though cycling is a possibility if you enjoy hills. Roads in the immediate area are typically narrow but very quiet. Can take walks from the doorstep and can get to the coast reasonably easily about 30mins drive away. The property has lots of information on where to go like local whiskey distillery, cheese maker and tearooms.

The suggested recommendations are geared for younger/active people, possibly with dogs. As an older couple we were more interested in touring the area. We enjoyed the market in Keswick and enjoyed the towns of Maryport and Cockermouth. We took a steamer trip on Ullswater which was impacted by heavy rain! In fine weather that would have been the highlight of our stay. The pub in Ireby is friendly and serves good meals.
