The Pheasant Inn Bassenthwaite  

Set on Bassenthwaite Lake at the edge of the Lake District, this historic coaching inn delivers big views and easy access to the fells. It’s about 4 km from core Lake District spots and 56 km from Carlisle Lake District Airport. A pet-friendly lakeside hotel with character.

Once a Lakeland staging post, the Pheasant blends old-school charm with modern rooms. Expect air-conditioned rooms with flat-screen TVs, private bathrooms, tea and coffee makers and daily housekeeping. The property keeps its local character front and center, with a fabulous outdoor terrace and designated dog-friendly areas.

Free on-site parking, free Wi‑Fi, a bar and restaurant, gym and fitness centre, room service and facilities for disabled guests. Enjoy spectacular lake views from the terrace and wake up to misty, lakeside mornings.

High-speed internet throughout the property makes it easy to stay connected while you recharge by the lake.

An on-site restaurant and bar serve hearty, Cumbrian-style fare in a welcoming, traditional setting. The terrace is perfect for drinks with a view, and dogs are welcome in designated bar areas.
