Bassenthwaite Lake
CA12 4RE Bassenthwaite, Cumbria

There is plenty to see and do in the area surrounding the hotel, from exploring the peaceful serenity and natural beauty of the Lake District on foot, to enjoying exciting off-road driving experiences. There are a number of activities on offer at Armathwaite Hall. You can enjoy the thrill of driving a Honda 250cc quad-bike around the hotel’s 400-acre estate. You can test your skill and accuracy with clay pigeon shooting, firing live ammunition from a 12-bore shotgun at a fast-moving target released from an automatic trap. Alternatively, you can experience the sense of achievement as you drive a Landrover Defender 110 down steep descents, up almost vertical inclines and through rugged terrain using traction control, 4-wheel drive and differential lock. The hotel also offers traditional vintage picnics. Guests are provided with a romantic picnic or a family luncheon hamper and are chauffeur-driven in a 1929 Bentley Open Tourer or a 1934 Rolls Royce Limousine to a secluded location. The Lake District is, of course, famous for its wonderful walks, and the hotel’s prime location makes it a great base for those wishing to explore the region’s spectacular scenery on foot. The hotel even offers guided walks suitable for all levels of ability, with wildlife ranger John Cubby MBE helping you to discover the glory of the surrounding countryside and the beautiful flora and fauna of this stunning corner of England. You could also enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the Lakes by enjoying the region’s superb fishing and pitting your skills against a trout or salmon. With an experienced gillie, you will be able to master the conditions and hook your elusive prey. The region also offers some excellent golfing facilities and there are numerous nearby courses including the championship-standard course at Silloth-on-Solway.
