Mosscrag Guest House - Glenridding

A Beautiful Family Run Lakeland Guest House, Located In The Heart Of The Lakes Ideal For Exploring.

Mosscrag was built in 1918. It has been a private home as well as providing bed and breakfast for many years. Now a family run guest house based in beautiful Glenridding in the heart of the English Lake District, Mosscrag makes an ideal base for exploring the Lakes. We are situated opposite Glenridding Beck and surrounded by the Lake District hills and fells, the most famous being Helvellyn, Striding Edge, the Fairfield Horseshoe and High Street, to name but a few. Three hundred yards away is Lake Ullswater, where you can fish, sail, canoe or windsurf or sail to Howtown and walk the seven miles back to Glenridding which is supposed to be the best lake walk in the district; or sail to Pooley Bridge, have lunch and sail back on a later boat. The whole area is ideal for the enthusiastic walker, as the poets Wordsworth and Coleridge discovered, and we are well positioned for those who want to do the coast to coast walk.

Mosscrag has gone through a number of changes to improve the decor and facilities for our guests, and we have been awarded three diamonds by the English Tourist Council. We have a dining room, and a separate guest lounge which has a small bar. We provide our guests with cards, dominoes, chessboard, etc., and a small library of books, fiction as well as factual, to use at their leisure. Also Available is ample storage space for bicycles and sailboards, and you can arrange bicycle hire if you wish. We will even tumble dry your clothes when you return home wet!
