Brathay Hall - Brathay Trust, hotel in Eskdale

Brathay Hall is the residential training center of Brathay Trust. It provides double, twin and single en-suite rooms on a room only basis, which are located around the site.

The room was lovely, spacious and comfortable. The view was spectacular. We didn't have breakfast as it was a pre-prepared breakfast bag delivered to the room and we have had those at Travelodge and were not keen so brought our own with us. We were able to take two dogs with us which was wonderful and they enjoyed the walking as much as we did. An added bonus, my daughter was able to launch her paddle board straight onto Lake Windermere from Brathay's boat house.

Moss Grove Organic, hotel in Eskdale

The Moss Grove Organic offers 5-star guest accommodation. The spacious en suite rooms have flat-screen TVs, free internet access is available throughout.

For me it was the friendliness of the staff with the breakfast in the morning on a buffet from the kitchen, allowing for guests chat and share events of their day, Food was amazing as was choice, everything you could hope for.

    We loved it! A bit of a 'ghost hotel' with check in done over the phone, but that suited us just fine. We loved the peace and quiet and the fact we could bring and cook our own food in the ample and very well outfitted kitchen. Beautifully decorated and stunning views! Also they were kind enough to provide us with a late checkout for a smallish fee. We had a fabulous time and hope to come back some day...

    Great location in a quiet area for a 2 night stay. We travelled in October so a warm and cosy room was very much appreciated. Evening pub food and breakfast, offering sausages for guest dogs. Lovely touch. Friendly staff.

    Great location in a quieter part of the lake district with more than enough activities and attractions on your doorstep. We had a long journey to the lake district so we were happy to be able to do walks from the guesthouse and not have to use the car much while we were there. The owners were friendly and helpful and very welcoming to the dog too :) Good breakfast options and a drying room that worked!

    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.
