Looking for a place to stay? We stayed at one of the best Airbnbs in the Lake District if I say so myself ;-) Each of our stays added something unique to our Lake District road trip.

Bed and Breakfast near Beatrix Potter Hill Top Farm
This Lake District bed and breakfast is such a lovely place. We felt very welcome by Sarah and Rob, owners of a beautiful family home in the Lakeland village of Near Sawrey, once owned by Beatrix Potter and built in 1820. Conveniently located opposite Beatrix Potter's Hill Top Farm.
The room is peaceful, at the back of the first floor with a view over the hillside beyond. You will have your own ensuite bathroom with separate bath & shower cubicle. The Kingsize wrought iron bed has a luxury memory foam mattress and Egyptian cotton bed linen. There is also a tea & coffee tray and a sofa. Breakfast is included.
Seashore Shepherds Hut @ Moat Farm, Ulverston, Lake District
Seashore Shepherds Hut in Ulverston is one of these locations that you are happy to stumble across when browsing for accommodation online. Inside the hut there is a open-plan living area with a cosy double bed which can sleep up to two guests. Next to the bed is a cosy armchair and a (folding) dining table. There is also a tiny kitchenette and a bathroom with shower and toilet. The Seashore Shepperd's Hut overlooks the beautiful Morecambe Bay and has the most spectacular sea views on this somewhat secluded beach.
Airbnb Winter Crag Farmhouse, Penrith, Lake District
Winter Crag is a cosy farmhouse tucked into the Hills above Lake Ullswater. You are truly offf the beaten track and surrounded by the beauty of the true Lake District, every window has a stunning view with endless places to explore and walks on the doorstep! If you want to get away from hustle, bustle and stress of modern life then this is the place for you. Indeed, cause the farm is really at the end of the valley. Doing groceries and go out for dinner is only possible at the campsite nearby or in Pooley Bridge (a 20min drive).
Upstairs are 3 rooms with a shared bathroom. We were lucky enough to be the only guests during our stay. There is no living room and therefore had the kitchen all for ourselves. There is no WiFi so we enjoyed ourselves in the evening with puzzles and board games.
The most amazing views you get from walking up the hills just behind the farm. Like Rachel said: you can just walk up and go down anywhere you want. No OS maps needed. Use the house with the red roof as your focus point. This hike was the best one we did, no toursist around and oh boy, look at the view. We also enjoyed kayaking at Ullswater lake! So much fun!
