Dr Gloom 19727 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 First week in January is all about holiday planning. Wondering if any of our resident Lake District experts have ever stayed at bassenthwaite and if so is it worth staying there? We had a great time at Keswick and Borrowdale last year. Is it close enough to get from bassenthwaite to that neck of the woods? The place we’re looking at is at the south side of bassenwhIte lake, near the winlatter Forest, which has the go ape, which I’m thinking will suit the 8 year olds in the party.

Renton 17586 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Random fact. Bassenthwaite is the only "lake" in the lake district. I can't comment because I've not been much, other than to see the wildlife park, which was good for kids. I would say though it's on the periphery of the lakes and quite flat. I've always preferred the more mountainous areas. Close to Keswick and Skiddaw though, you can climb Skiddaw from the much superior back end from there (missus).

Dr Gloom 19727 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 How long to drive from one to the other would you say? Doesn’t look that far on the map but the roads there are pretty slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a fast bus too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 16480 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Nice area Bassenthwaite. Done loads of cycling round there and Whinlatter. Theres the Lakes Distillery there and they have a restaurant thats nice. Sun Inn in Bassenthwaite is OK from what I remember but theres a better one about 10mins drive in Uldale called Snooty Fox.

Monkeys Fist 38544 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Aye, South end of Bassenthwaite is officially only a “kick in the arse” away from Keswick. You’re not far from Newlands Valley, which is a really nice part of the area. Cockermouth, in the other direction, is home to Jennings Brewery, if you need a wet weather alternative.

trophyshy 6432 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Going to a posh hotel in Rye this weekend with wor lass. Apparently we’re having a bairn in February so this’ll be my last holiday involving any sort of peace. I’ve had to ask for a room on the ground floor; as well as looking like she’s hiding a Galapagos tortoise up her jumper, she’s tediously slow on stairs these days. There’ll be no sex (ever again?) so I’m taking the Switch. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19727 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) Last holiday I had like that was a week in Barbados in an adults-only resort about 8 years ago. I struggled to hold back the tears when the staff waved us goodbye, saying they hoped to see us again soon. Which of course they wouldn’t.

ewerk 26152 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I've resigned myself to city breaks with the wife since the little one came along, it's okay to get someone to keep her for a few days but I worry that any more is taking the piss. Still get away for a week or two in the sun every year but it's never ever the same. Which reminds me I'm off to Washington DC for four nights in April. That's just about enough to keep me from slitting my wrists at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) Skiing next week for me. The fire remains in Courchevel and the piste in Meribel where Schumacher proved himself an inferior sportsman to me will make up a 'dark tourism' day.
