Link House

Link House is a late Victorian Country Guest House, situated on the edge of Bassenthwaite Lake, near the Cumbrian towns of Keswick and Cockermouth, with stunning views of both forests and fells. Traditionally built in the late Victorian age, this country house enjoys stunning views of the forest and surrounding fells including the 3046 feet Skiddaw. The sunny aspect gives a warm and comfortable atmosphere in which to relax and feel at home.

Link House is in the quieter part of the Lake District National Park, yet with access to many interesting places to visit such as the Whinlatter Visitor Centre and Dodd Wood where the Ospreys who nest nearby each year, can be viewed. It makes an ideal base for walkers, cyclists, sailors (500 metres to Bassenthwaite Sailing Club), wedding guests ( just 1.5/2 miles from Armathwaite Hall and the Castle Inn), or anyone attending courses at Higham Hall.

A peaceful location for the serious walker or cyclist or for touring by car: everyone claims that, but here it’s true!
