The Old Homestead is nestled in the heart of the Northern Lake District, offering breathtaking views and serene surroundings. To reach us, take the A66 west. Travel along the A66 for 2 miles past Bassenthwaite Lake and look for a sign ‘Lorton 4 miles, Buttermere 10 miles‘, pointing left. TURN LEFT. After 1/2 mile at T- junction TURN RIGHT. Continue for 1 mile and look for a left turn (no sign post) with a 7.5T weight limit road sign. TURN LEFT.

After approximately 200 yards/metres, the 2nd left driveway is sign-posted The Old Homestead. TURN LEFT.

How do I make a reservation?

You can book your stay directly by contacting us via phone or email. We recommend booking in advance to secure your preferred dates.

The Old Homestead offers a fully equipped kitchen, Wi-Fi, ample parking, a large garden, and luxurious furnishings. We also provide linens and towels for your convenience.

Booking Payments

When booking we take a one- third deposit by bank transfer. The remaining two-thirds balance is taken 8 weeks prior to arrival, together with a £500 refundable damage deposit. 

Cancellation Policy

All bookings are non-refundable and on making the booking the guest commits to full payment of the deposit and balance.

As with all holidays, guests should ensure appropriate holiday insurance is taken out as necessary. However,  should a party need to cancel for a serious reason, upon their request we would make every effort to open the dates up in the hope of securing a new booking and thereby, being able to offer the original guests a refund, based on any discounts we would need to make to secure the new booking. If a new booking is unable to be made then the original party would not be eligible for any refund.

Are there any nearby dining options?

Yes, there are several excellent pubs and restaurants close by. See the Eating Out section on the Activities page.

Is The Old Homestead pet-friendly?

Unfortunately not. We do not accept any pets into the guesthouse, that way, people with pet allergies know that the house they are staying in is a pet-free environment.
