The Manor House The Manor House is a gentleman Farmer's house dating from the early 18th Century, set in 8 acres of it's own land in the village of Oughterside on the North Western Edge of the Lake District. Located just 5 miles from the market town of Cockermouth, the birthplace of William Wordsworth and twenty miles from Keswick and Carlisle, it is an ideal spot for exploration of the Northern Fells and Lakes. Rove the country lanes on foot, by bike or by car. The Allerdale footpath and cycle way are close by. Enjoy walking along unspoilt beaches by the Solway Firth. We are ideally placed as a stepping stone for continued exploration North towards Hadrians Wall and on to the glories of Scotland, or East along the borders. We have ample private parking and a large garden that we love to share with our guests. Our ensuite rooms (with baths and showers) are extremely spacious, furnished with kingsize beds and lots of little luxuries to make your stay as pleasant as possible. All rooms command splendid views over open countryside towards Skiddaw and the mountains of the Lake District. Tuck into a hearty breakfast, read the paper in the sun lounge, stroll around the garden and then go forth and enjoy the day. We are an ideal place to stay for motorcycle tourists. Our spacious rooms have plenty of storage for all your gear and your bike will be well cared for in a secured lock-up. We have drying facilities for that odd occasion when it rains !!.
