Elsewhere, expect farmhouse bed and breakfasts, small guest houses and a scattering of self-catering cottages spread through the valley between the lake and Whinlatter Forest, many run by families who have farmed the land for generations. Rooms with a view of Skiddaw or the lake itself tend to be booked up first, particularly during the April to August osprey season, so early booking pays off for a summer visit. Anyone wanting more choice, or a livelier evening out, will find a much larger range of hotels, inns and guest houses a short drive away in Keswick, while still being close enough to base day trips around Bassenthwaite Lake, Mirehouse and the fells. Self-catering is a popular option here too, with cottages ranging from traditional stone-built farm conversions to more modern lakeside properties, well suited to families wanting a base for walking, wildlife watching and mountain biking rather than a resort-style holiday. Whichever type of accommodation you choose, the compact size of the village means nothing is ever far from the water or the surrounding fells.
