The Langstrath Country Inn

Built around 1590 as a miner's cottage known as 'Dove Cottage', The Langstrath Country Inn is a small family-run property offering accommodation in Stonethwaite. Parking is available.

The Langstrath Country Inn is centrally located in the northern lakes area of The Lake District National Park and World Heritage. Attractions such as Honister Slate Mine and the Via Ferrata are just a 10-minutes drive away, while Whinlatter Forest and Keswick's Theatre by the Lake are within a 30-minutes drive from the property.

Ormsgill Inn

Barrow in Furness

Furness Abbey is 3.2 km from Ormsgill Inn. Walney Island is 3.4 km from the property, while the edge of the Lake District National Park is 17.5 km away. Absolutely everything. We cannot fault this property and highly recommend it. The location, the facilities, the breakfast and the staff are excellent. It was by far the best B&B we stayed in during our whole trip.

Plough Inn 5 stars

Lupton

Situated in Lupton, 26 km from Trough of Bowland, Plough Inn features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a restaurant and a bar. With free WiFi, this 5-star inn offers a concierge service and luggage storage space. The property is non-smoking and is set 29 km from World of Beatrix Potter. I booked the Torsin suite for the night for my wife’s birthday, the pictures don’t do the suite credit, it was incredible; so much so that we cancelled our original anniversary plans for the end of August and booked the same suite again for our anniversary. The location is great, we were able to check in early with a bottle of champagne ready as requested and the service was good and friendly. The pub and restaurant downstairs was welcoming, especially the log fire with comfy sofas around it and (although we didn’t take ours) it is dog friendly, so a real plus if we come again for a family break. There was a good breakfast included and an altogether excellent stay.
