Welcome

We are a working smallholding and B&B in the heart of Blennerhasset, a small traditional Cumbrian village, close to the quiet unspoilt beauty of the Western Lake District. Enjoy a hearty breakfast, using home reared produce. Relax in the sauna & hot tub or in front of the wood burning stove.

Situated on a 4 acre smallholding beside the River Ellen we raise free-range Saddleback pigs and hens; as well as a small flock of rare breed Ryeland sheep.

Our hearty Cumberland breakfasts are all cooked to order using our own home reared or locally grown produce. Alternatively select from juice, fresh fruit and cereal. We also offer evening meals by arrangement.

Beech House is ideally situated to take advantage of the many attractions of the Western Lakes from walking the fells, Skiddaw is just five miles away; taking in the sights of Cockermouth, the birth place of William Wordsworth; or playing a round of golf on Silloth’s golf links. After a busy day exploring the sights relax in the lounge, in front of the wood burning stove; in the infra-red sauna or hot tub or a hammock in the garden over looking the village green.

We also now have a delightful one-bedroom self-catering cottage
available. Select 'The Cottage' from the menu for further information.
