Hotels in Caldbeck

Caldbeck is not a village of big hotels, and that is very much part of its appeal. Accommodation here leans towards traditional inns, farmhouse bed and breakfasts, and self-catering cottages spread through the village and its neighbouring hamlets of Hesket Newmarket and Uldale. The Oddfellows Arms, in the heart of the village, combines its pub and restaurant with a small number of B&B rooms, making it a convenient base for walkers heading out onto the Cumbria Way or up into the northern fells. Stone-built farmhouses and cottages nearby offer self-catering options with views over open fell country, popular with those wanting a quiet week away from the busier central Lakes.

For visitors who want a larger choice of hotels, spas or chain accommodation, the market towns of Keswick, Penrith and Cockermouth are all within a twenty-minute drive and offer a much fuller range, while still allowing an easy day trip out to Caldbeck itself. Staying in the village suits those who want to walk from the door, explore the Howk and the northern fells at leisure, and enjoy an evening in a proper Cumbrian pub rather than those looking for extensive on-site facilities. Booking ahead is worthwhile, particularly for the handful of rooms in the village itself, as options are genuinely limited compared with the honeypot Lakeland towns.
