Boltongate Old Rectory named 'Best B&B' of north-west

Visitors looking for an out of the way bed and breakfast are recommended to stay at the Boltongate Old Rectory Bed and Breakfast in Cumbria near the north-west area of the Lake District.

This three en-suite bedroom house dates from 1360 yet is decorated with modern elegance, such as claw foot bath tubs and handmade local chocolate for guests, has received several awards from this year's England Northwest Tourism Awards and Cumbria Tourism Awards.

Visitors have easy access to the Northern Fells of the Lake District and also to the peaks of Skiddaw and Blencathra as well as the lakes of Bassenthwaite and Derwentwater for easy hikes.

Those wishing to explore the surrounding towns have only a 20 minute drive to the town of Keswick, known for its farmers' markets, and 30 minutes from the Roman town of Carlisle with its castle and cathedral.

The bed and breakfast is open to families and for special occasions, perfect for those who want to explore the Lake District while feeling as if they have a place in the countryside all to themselves.
