Crookabeck B&B - Premium Accommodation in Patterdale, Cumbria

Crookabeck B&B occupies a renovated 18th-century cart shed on a working farm in Patterdale, inside the Lake District National Park. The open-plan living area has a log-burning stove; guests also have a shared lounge/TV area and a terrace with mountain views. A farm shop on the property sells wool products from Herdwick sheep raised by the owners.

The three guest rooms each have a private bathroom, heating, and non-smoking interiors. Some rooms include a separate sitting/dining room and an outdoor terrace, giving guests a private space for meals or rest. The hosts provide tea, coffee, and homemade cake on arrival.

Breakfast is a full English or Irish cooked meal with vegetarian options, plus house-made granola and banana bread. Guests book charcuterie or grazing boards in advance for dinner, with meat and vegetarian versions, accompanied by local beer, wine, or cider. Packed lunches are available for guests setting out on day walks.

The working farm keeps Herdwick sheep and Bavarian Red Fox sheep on site. Guests can take part in Nordic walking, deer spotting in the rutting season, and guided walks up Helvellyn with a guide and her dog. Hazel's aromatherapy massage is recommended by guests; the farm shop sells wool and handmade woollens from the property's own sheep.

Crookabeck sits at the foot of Place Fell, on the Coast to Coast walking route. Hiking routes to Helvellyn and St. Sunday Crag leave directly from the door; the hosts offer personalized recommendations for local hikes. Ullswater Lake provides boating and cruises nearby, and Glenridding has restaurants and cafés within walking distance.
