Cumbria Hotels
Best Western have 6 hotels in Cumbria
Book a Cumbria hotel for a stirring landscape of lakes and fells, ancient Roman history and a Cumberland sausage with a country pint.
Town and city breaks in Cumbria
Between Carlisle’s castle and bijou cathedral, read a bishop’s stone-carved curse against lawless Border Reivers. Appleby’s Horse Fair is one of Britain’s last great travellers’ festivals, while Kendal and Keswick, gateways to the Lakes, also embrace the arts at the Brewery Arts Centre and Theatre by the Lake.
Holidays in the Cumbria countryside
The Lake District’s 14 “waters”, four “meres” and just one “lake” are separated by craggy fells. From your hotel in Cumbria you’re within striking distance of hikes along Catbells and Scafell Pike high above remote Wast Water. Relax on a Windermere or Ullswater steamer and sample Kendal’s famous mint cake.
Beach holidays in Cumbria
Discover Cumbria’s 180-mile coastline, from Grange-over-Sands and Barrow in the south to the Solway Firth’s long, sandy beaches in the north. Don’t miss a ride on the “L’al Ratty” – the diminutive Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway.
Attractions in Cumbria
Book a Cumbria hotel and follow in Wordsworth’s footsteps around Grasmere and Rydal Water or Beatrix Potter’s at Hill Top Farm. Test your comic timing besides Laurel and Hardy’s statue in Stan’s birthplace, Ulverston, or explore history at Penrith’s Dark Age Rheged. The Roman Wall still inspires awe, but more ancient still is Castlerigg Stone Circle.
