Ouse Bridge House

On the edge of Bassenthwaite Lake in Cockermouth, this guesthouse puts you minutes from the Lake District’s main draws. A 1-minute drive to Bassenthwaite and about 11 km from Derwentwater, it’s a pet-friendly base for walkers, cyclists and sailors.

Eleven en-suite rooms—some with lake views—come with Smart TVs, tea/coffee makers and daily housekeeping; a ground-floor room is available for guests who can’t manage stairs. Expect vistas of Bassenthwaite and the mighty Skiddaw and a relaxed guesthouse vibe.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi, free on-site parking and a bar/lounge are available, with segway rentals, hiking and mountain‑biking trails right outside. Wake up to Bassenthwaite Lake views from some rooms and step straight into outdoor adventures.

Free self-parking and a front desk staffed during limited hours; complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected.

A complimentary full English breakfast is served daily (8:30–9:00 AM), and the on-site bar and restaurant showcase local flavours. Nearby spots include the Lake District Distillery café and the Bassenthwaite Lake Train Station Café for more tasty options.
