Old Water View is a family run B&B operated by Dave and Andi, a husband and wife team who are keen walkers. Having spent many happy holidays walking and climbing in the Lakes they decided to move into the area and facilitate holidays for others through this wonderful B&B in Patterdale.
Patterdale is a small village, nestling at the southern end of Lake Ullswater, and surrounded by some of Lakeland’s finest scenery. It’s a peaceful, unspoilt village, away from the busy tourist centres, and yet within easy reach of them, with most buildings being constructed from local slate. The village has a pub and a village store and post office. You can also enjoy Farm Experience Days at the local Crookabeck Farm. Situated directly on the route of the world famous “Coast to Coast” walk, Patterdale also has strong associations with the poet William Wordsworth. It was here, in Patterdale, that he got the inspiration for perhaps his most well known poem - “Daffodils”. You will find Patterdale is a village where time seems to have stood still, and we even retain our original Victorian post box in the village! Patterdale is the perfect place from which to enjoy some of the the best walking and climbing that the Lake District has to offer, and to sample some of the hospitality for which the area is rightly famous.
