About Crosthwaite

Crosthwaite is an idyllic little village nestled quietly amidst rolling hills peppered with old, granite churches and clusters of white-cream cottages lining winding country lanes. Being such a tiny location, accommodation options are limited and our pick of the best places to stay in Crosthwaite is an ever popular pub with rooms.

Crosthwaite is in the lovely landscape of the Lake District (ideal for keen walkers and cyclists) which also comes with a charming collection of museums, National Trust properties, and some really fantastic walking trails. it is also convenient for Lakeland Maze Farm Park at Raines Hall in Kendal, which has a petting zoo, play area and tractor rides - perfect for a day out with the kids.

However don't forget that the best places to stay in Crosthwaite will be very popular during peak season (like the rest of the Lake District). So if you're planning to visit during July or August, do your research and book well ahead!

The Best Places to Stay in Crosthwaite

For exploring the region

  • The Punch Bowl Inn is a quaint, 18th century inn in the Lyth Valley. Each of its nine rooms has sweeping valley views, and plush, boutique-style decor complementing original features. Downstairs is a popular bar and dining room, with a great atmosphere and an innovative chef. This is a wonderful spot for walkers, with the added pleasure of being able to come back to his and hers roll-top bathtubs — in some rooms — and a candlelit supper.

  • Crosthwaite is warmest and driest in the spring and summer, from about March through until September, but it’s very easy to argue that it's beautiful in all seasons. There’s enough indoor activity to hold off boredom on wetter days — take a cruise on one of the lakes, visit one of the local National Trust properties, or a local museums, have afternoon tea overlooking Lake Windermere, or just walk in the rain.
