A warm welcome Stay with us at the Bridge Hotel and you will share in a long and fascinating history. Set between Buttermere and Crummock Water and surrounded by the Buttermere Fells in an area of outstanding natural beauty, the hotel is on a site which has been occupied for over 1000 years.

Time honoured tradition It was licensed first as a Coaching Inn in 1735, since when it has evolved slowly into a typical old Lakeland Hotel offering a warm welcome, comfort and attentive service throughout the year. Much of the surrounding area and the lakes are protected by the National Trust and unrestricted walking for all tastes starts as soon as you step out of the door. Motor boats are not permitted on the lakes.

Attentive Service The residents sitting room and dining room are the oldest in the house and are furnished to high standards. A five course table d'hote dinner with a number of choices, and varied daily, is served in the dining room. On offer, too, is a choice of over 50 wines.

Full of character The hotel has 21 bedrooms, which are well furnished and constantly upgraded. Some are rated as superior and several have four-poster beds. All have direct dial telephone. Televisions and radios are not provided because of poor local reception due to the surrounding fells - most of our guests consider this an advantage! The bars are full of character and serve excellent food and a comprehensive range of drinks including real ale and hot beverages.

Self Catering Built in 1992 in the gardens of the hotel, our six self-catering apartments are proving extremely popular. The apartments all enjoy the same stunning view straight up Buttermere to Haystacks and the Buttermere Round. They are south facing so capture much of the day's sunshine through the large windows in the living area - which give onto your private patio space or balcony. Sitting in landscaped gardens immediately above Sail Beck, the self-catering apartments are tastefully designed and furnished, offering an exceptional standard of accommodation for walking and family holidays. The six apartments are disposed over two floors; the three lower sleep up to four people; the three upper sleep up to six people and have two bathrooms. All six boast every luxury - dishwashers, fridge/freezers, full sized ovens, toasters and microwaves complement the well-proportioned kitchens. Each apartment has electric central heating, direct dial telephone. There is ample space for storage of your belongings and for the parking of cars. The hotel bar offers an exceptional range of beers, spirits and good food. The hotel restaurant is open to non-residents.
