Your Accommodation and Breakfast

West View has been professionally decorated to a high standard and has central heating throughout. The walls are also decorated with original photography and original paintings. Our house is totally non-smoking.

Your room has en-suite facilities, with remote control colour TV, clock radio, hair dryer, and tea/coffee tray (with a mountain of tea and coffee). During 2008 we will be upgrading the TVs to prepare for the digital switchover. All the beds are provided with comfortable quilts and pillows with freshly laundered white cotton bedding. Fresh white towels are supplied daily.

You will take breakfast in the Dining Room with views across to Causey Pike and Grizedale Pike.

Your breakfast will be one of more than 240 million variations on offer (we counted them!) The ingredients are all sourced locally and it will probably be one of the biggest and tastiest breakfasts you have ever eaten if you ask for the Full English.

The Guest Lounge is on the first floor and is a superb place to take in the views and just relax. It also houses a collection of Wellcome pharmaceutical memorabilia. This includes original tea tablets from WW1, Bromide Tablets, and the first inhalers used for asthma. Several magic lantern projectors are also on show. Lantern slides of the Lake District and other subjects can be viewed on request. Small groups and families who can use it as their base during their stay particularly appreciate the Guest Lounge.

The views from our guest lounge are spectacular.
