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, deer, and rabbits in the extensive grounds.

We only had an overnight unfortunately. Its a secluded spot, but the grounds are beautiful with lovely short walks. we loved the building, the decor and the staff. Wonderful people, lively conversation and great knowledge of the area.

Fantastic hotel and fantastic surroundings. Excellent breakfast with perfect service. Everything was superb and we really recommend a stay here. Only problem was that we only booked one night. We would have liked to stay longer.

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 District scenery.

The food was excellent, the staff was so friendly and along with the place itself made you feel so warm and welcome. We will definitely be back in the summer months for our anniversary.

    Beautiful setting and caravan was luxurious and spotless. Dog park and walk were great extras. The weather was lovely so great to have the decking around the caravan to sit outside. Close to lake area only short drive away but park was secluded and quiet for a relaxing break. Lots of thought has gone in to making this more than a home from home. We will definitely stay again.

    An amazing 'get away from it all' place in a stunning location. The lodge was beautiful and spotlessly clean. Everything you needed was there with added touches of luxury. Would definitely stay again. A car is needed if you want to explore local towns or amenities, but plenty of good walks close by. Very quiet location with amazing views of the surrounding mountains.
