Crookabeck B&B - Historic Cart-Shed Retreat on a Working Sheep Farm in Patterdale
Accommodations & Rooms
The Arnison suite offers a large bedroom with a comfortable double bed and single bed, plus a separate lounge for dining and relaxing. Each room has a private en-suite with Lakeland toiletries and a mini fridge stocked with fresh milk. Guests can use the shared guest lounge with a log-burning stove, TV, and access to a terrace overlooking the fells.
Dining & Breakfast
A full English or Irish breakfast is served with homemade granola, fresh fruit salad, and vegetarian options. Pre-ordered charcuterie boards for dinner feature local cheeses, meats, and pickles, served in the guest lounge. Julia's homemade lemon drizzle cake awaits on arrival, and packed lunches with flapjack are available for walkers.
On-Site Activities & Farm Experience
Crookabeck is a working sheep farm where guests can meet Herdwick sheep and Bavarian Red Fox sheep. The on-site wool shop sells products made from Herdwick wool, including scarves, hats, and gloves. Guests can also arrange Nordic walking sessions or a guided hike with a local guide and dog.
Location & Hiking
The B&B sits directly on the Coast to Coast walking route, with door-to-door access to Helvellyn, Place Fell, and St. Sunday Crag. Ullswater Lake is a 10-minute walk away, offering boat cruises and lakeside cafes in Glenridding. Hosts provide personalized advice on alternative trails, such as the gentler descent from Kidsty Pike via High Raise and Low Raise.
Guest Services & Hospitality
Hosts Julia and Adam offer a laundry service for walkers, drying and returning clothes by morning. Boots are whisked away upon arrival and returned dry and warm. Extra touches include hot water bottles, a welcome beer or cider, and a donation to the Alzheimer's Society as part of the booking fee.
