Surrounded by mountains and lakes, Bassenthwaite is a quiet and peaceful village to spend quiet times in. On its own it doesn't have much to offer tourists, however, it's quite close to Keswick which a major tourist destination within the Lake District.

Bassenthwaite is a very cute village, on the river bank.
Bassenthwaite is a very cute village, on the river bank. The scenery is really amazing and if you're looking for inspiration, peace and quiet, it's definitely the place.
There are many great restaurants a few miles away from the village and if one is looking for a town feel, Keswick is not too far.

Bassenthwaite is a tiny village but the big attraction in the area is Keswick which is a really charming town and a mecca for walkers' hiking equipment. Visit Beatrix Potter's house and also William Wordsworth' house while you are in the area. Both are National Trust.

Watch Ospreys fishing on the lake.
Watch Ospreys fishing on the lake. Visit Dodd Wood osprey viewing area and see jays, red squirrels, firecrests, woodpeckers, grass snakes etc etc etc!
The Lakes Distillery is well worth a visit if you're interested in a tour around the distillery. And the food from the bistro
is superb.
The Sun Inn at Bassenthwaite village offers good food and a selection of beers.

Bassenthwaite is a quintessential Lakeland holiday...
Bassenthwaite is a quintessential Lakeland holiday destination with all the usual Lakeland trappings but having visited many many times I still consider it different to say coniston or grasemere, why? Well I would have to say, after visiting the lakes for over 40 years, it's more like the lakes used to be, sedate and laid back, nothing rushed just well just peaceful.
The walk around the lake is not to strenuous and with trusty Fred my boarder terrier it takes 2/3 hours. The only down side is that the two pubs do not allow dogs which on a rainy day can be a little inconvenient. Try a ice cream at the farm half way round the walk, heavenly.

Loved the spa facilities and a gorgeous room.
Loved the spa facilities and a gorgeous room. A few workman drilling near outdoor hot tub did spoil my relaxation a little. The tennis court was out of action which was a shame.
Everything else great...service was excellent especially Will who helped us with our reservation query.
“The owners were wonderful and very welcoming. We attended a wedding at a Hotel close by and the Kiln Barn was excellent for our needs. The breakfast was one of the best we have ever had, Brilliant all round!”
“The lodge was in a fabulous location, it was so quiet and peaceful. We loved the modern décor and layout, very cosy and comfortable. Lots of great places to walk and explore nearby.”
