This was a brief stopover on our way south from Scotland. Spotlessly clean, comfortable room and bed, and a fabulous breakfast; excellent all round. Much thought and planning has gone into ensuring that guests have a great stay here! Highly recommended!

I was passing through on business for one night, but really wanted to stay longer. Rooms were very comfortable and hospitality excellent. View from breakfast room overlooking snow covered peaks was a sight to behold and breakfast really was five star. Will definitely be visiting again if in the area.

Very clean! Rooms are lovely & the breakfast was amazing- a great range of food that was wonderfully prepared/cooked. A very friendly place to stay - a print out of a suggested trip around the lakes was waiting for us on our table at breakfast - a really nice touch. Would love to go back

A great place to stay for our short break to the northern lakes and solway coast. The welcome was brilliant with freshly baked Victoria sponge and coffee provided in the comfortable guest lounge on arrival. We opted for an evening meal in on our first night which was an excellent selection of pre booked local produce (very fresh) and good... More

Link House exceeded my expectations and proved to be a good base from which to explore the northern areas of the Lake District, as it was located in a quiet village close to the main road between Keswick and Cockermouth. The property was in immaculate condition, having been freshly decorated, and the owners were friendly, professional and helpful. Having a... More

I am staying at The Link House now, for a few days walking the hills. The place is just tremendous. Clean, freshly decorated, well kept. The food is excellent - a varied menu, but they do like the order by 10am so they can be sure to meet your needs which seems very fair for a B+B rather than a... More

We stayed one night at The Link house, en route to Scotland. We had a lovely room over looking a beautiful tree, meadow and the drive way. The room was furnished very tastefully, and the bedding was of high quality. The ensuite was rather small, and the handbasin was in the corner of the bed room. Wifi was accessible only... More

A fine hotel in an excellent location at the top end of bassenthwaite lake...which I believe is the only 'Lake' in the Lake District... The owners are perfectly fine, if not a little old fashioned, but the B&B caters for the older generation to be honest. This is not a slight...merely an observation. That said...my single room was very small... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Link House is a late Victorian Country Guest House, situated on the edge of Bassenthwaite Lake, near the Cumbrian towns of Keswick and Cockermouth, with stunning views of both forests and fells. Traditionally built in the late Victorian age, this country house enjoys stunning views of the forest and surrounding fells including the 3046 feet Skiddaw. The sunny aspect gives a warm and comfortable atmosphere in which to relax and feel at home. We are situated almost half-way between the towns of Keswick and Cockermouth, birthplace of William Wordsworth and the oldest town in Cumbria, just off the A66 at the northern tip of Bassenthwaite Lake. Link House is easy to find. In the quieter part of the Lake District National Park, yet with access to many interesting places to visit such as the Whinlatter Visitor Centre where the Ospreys who nest nearby each year, can be viewed. A peaceful location for the serious walker or for touring by car: everyone claims that — but here it’s true! ... more   less
