Forest How Guest House - A historic Victorian guest house with scenic fellside views, hearty breakfasts, and dog-friendly accommodation
Set in peaceful seclusion amidst five and a half acres of natural fellside and gardens, this large Victorian house dates back to the 1870s. Forest How Guest House offers comfortable rooms with TVs, tea and coffee facilities, and free Wi-Fi. Some rooms feature en-suite bathrooms, garden views, or access to drying facilities and secure cycle storage. Full Cumbrian breakfasts using local produce are served in the dining room, and packed lunches-including sandwiches, crisps, fruit, and homemade cake-are available for day trips. Footpaths lead directly from the property toward Scafell and Great Gable, approximately 24.1 km away. Nearby attractions include Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway (6 km), Muncaster Castle (5 km), and Stanley Ghyll Waterfall (4 km). The dramatic valley of Wasdale, home to Wastwater and Scafell Pike, is a 20-minute drive away.
Pros
Historic Victorian house with scenic gardens and frequent wildlife sightings, including red squirrels and barn owls.
Hearty breakfasts featuring local produce and optional packed lunches for exploring.
Dog-friendly accommodations with secure cycle storage and drying facilities.
Cons
Some rooms have shared bathrooms rather than en-suite facilities.
Arrival times must be communicated in advance.
“Forest How Guest House offers an immersive countryside experience, with red squirrels often visible from the breakfast conservatory. The hosts impress with their local knowledge, suggesting hikes and nearby pubs. I especially appreciate its quiet location, removed from the central Lakes crowds, and the easy access to Scafell Pike.”
