Excellent location for fell walks in the region. Good pub food and excellent breakfast including the option to take a sandwich on walks for lunch. Staff were generally friendly and helpful - in particular the “elderly” lady taking breakfast orders. Lovely personality and a very hard worker. A credit to the Inn
Situated on the beautiful lower slopes of Skiddaw, Lyzzick Hall Hotel offers impressive mountain views and an on-site restaurant with extensive wine cellar.

Location was fantastic
The staff at the Royal Oak were absolutely fantastic and helped us in a great prank for our birthday boy.
Evening food was very good
We had a fantastic stay. Tim & Karen made us feel very welcome and are just so lovely. The view from our beautiful room was amazing especially when we watched the sunrise. From cleanliness to the beautiful food it was perfect. Thank you we will definitely be staying with you again .

Beautiful part of Cumbria.
Beautiful part of Cumbria. If you are nervous of very narrow roads think twice of places like Buttermere and Loweswater...if you are Ok then that also is a lovely area to explore but do not expect lots of shops etc but you will find a warm welcome from local farm shops/cafes and the like. Expect to pay for loos and if you are a NT member you are laughing otherwise carry change and/or your card for car parking. On the narrow roads, the things that look like laybys are in fact passing places and should you meet a bus or tractor at one of these places then you will appreciate how vital they are. Bassenthwaite Lake is centrally positioned for both Keswick/ Grasmere and Ambleside and the lovely Cumbrian Coast. What you might not realise is that there is a lovely drive across to Carlise (the Border city) going through the lovely Caldbeck burial place for John Peel. An easy ride for a different day out. Bassenthwaite Lake has several eating places and we used The Pheasant Inn but there are several others nearby including the old Bassenthwaite Lake train station. Workington, Whitehaven and Maryport are working towns with their own carbuncles and beautiful old buildings. Whitehaven has a lovely harbour and a super bookshop. Workington has a selection of shops and Maryport has a lovely harbour too tho' very different to Whitehaven but the coast os wonderful. I recomend leaving your car at Maryport and taking the train down the coast to Barrow in Furness. If you like to explore...get the feel of a place and not just eat ice cream and mingle with crowds this is the quieter part of Cumbria....my birth county so I admit to being just a little biased!!

Bassenthwaite Lake is one of the less touristy areas.
Bassenthwaite Lake is one of the less touristy areas. It is very natural and beautiful. There are water sports available but there doesn’t seem to be a good walking path around the lake. There are eateries either walkable from the accommodation or within a couple of miles.

The walk around Derwentwater is superb and we did that instead of walking round Bassenthwaite lake but the walks on the hills are very good. We went up Skiddaw which is steep and high but the views at the top are stunning

Karen and Tim were very friendly and welcoming, no request was too much trouble. The (two course!) breakfast was superb and powered us walking up and down the hills until dinner time. The dramatic view from the room was of Skiddaw behind Bassenthwaite lake, particularly good when the low cloud came in to obscure the top. There were laminated maps of walking routes in the room that could be borrowed. The bed was supremely comfortable.
We absolutely loved our stay, Pete and Katie were lovely people, house was spotless, food wonderful, location to die for. The geese arriving every dawn was just magic. We were sorry to leave! I think they are undercharging!! I have stayed in 5* hotels all over the world and Link House certainly did not disappoint! Thank you both for a lovely stay, we so hope to return before too long.
Great location right by Bassenthwaite Lake. Lovely
room, very comfy bed. Everything could want provided for - toiletries, teas and coffee etc
Fantastic range of breakfast options, all very tasty and made with lovely, fresh ingredients.
Hosts were lovely , friendly and helpful with advice about area, but never intrusive.
Comfortable place to come back to after a long day out, the cottage was clean and warm and very pretty too.
Right on Bassenthwaite lake it is just off the main road so a convenient place to get around the lake District from.
Hosts were very accommodating and make a lovely breakfast
The rooms are well decorated and the location close to the A66 and view of Bassenthwaite Lake is very nice
The breakfast on both days was excellent and locally sourced ingredients.
They have an honesty bar with a 'pub in a cupboard' which is a nice touch
