Bawd Hall
Luxury Self-Catering

COVID-19 NOTICE:

Bawd Hall re-opened on Monday 12 April. The government roadmap places restrictions on the size and composition of parties that we can accept. Currently, we can only accept parties all from one household and it seems that the best that we can hope for is:

from 17 May, to be able to accept parties of no more than 6 persons or all of whose members belong to 2 households
to be fully open from 21 June

We will offer discounted prices for smaller parties. We can offer the following prices to parties of no more than 6 persons:
For bookings not in the May half term and taking place between Friday 16 April and Friday 25 June, 7 nights starting on a Monday or Friday for £1150, 3 night weekend or 4 night mid-week break for £850.

If you have specific dates in the future when you would like to come, please get in touch either by telephone to the owner, Alison Evens on 01900 828189, by email to Enable JavaScript to view protected content. or by completing the on-line booking enquiry form on our availability and prices page . Given that the situation still holds uncertainties, we are prepared to offer parties who are prevented from staying at Bawd Hall, owing to COVID-19 issues, a postponement or full refund.

Please note that Bawd Hall benefits from superfast (FTTP) internet which can be of enormous benefit at the current time. While we can never guarantee availability, it has been reliably fast since installation.

Walking holidays at Bawd Hall

Bawd Hall is the ideal base for a walking holiday. There is no need even to drive to your starting point (and find car parking) as there are so many walks to be had starting at the house:

great walks straight from the door, from a gentle stroll by the beck to an all-day hike around the "Newlands Round" ;
four bathrooms, all with a choice of bath or shower, to clean up and refresh afterwards;
plenty of space for boots and coats
large lounge and garden room to gather in and share the experience;
utility room equipped with washing machine, plus a large drying room with a tumble dryer;
central heating throughout (and an open fire if you want it);
maps, books and internet access to plan your activities.

For more information, see the walking section of “Your Stay”.

Bawd Hall is an ideal base for walking with many walks from the front door

Bassenthwaite Lake from the Newlands Valley – Swinside Inn on the right.

Causey Pike is a superb climb followed by a lovely ridge walk

Drive the short distance to Buttermere and get this fine view of Crummock Water from the top of Red Pike

Great Gable, seen from the east

Grisedale Pike forms part of a local horseshoe walk or can be climbed by itself from the Whinlatter pass (this is the view over to Skiddaw)

Approaching the top of Hopegill Head

Maiden Moor is a fine mountain with excellent views – plan your walk from the house!

Our guests say...

"What a fabulous cottage – walks galore from the door." - J, N.Yorkshire
"The house is amazing. We love the views and we enjoyed walking all the fells that we could see.." - B&S, Devon
"Blessed with good weather we enjoyed walks from Buttermere to Red Pike… before being drawn to our best walk from the house up Robinson and down via Hindscarth." - MS, Sussex
"We love Bawd Hall, it lived up to every expectation. Great to be able to walk from the door every day and not to have to drive." - JH

The Lake District offers the finest walking in England, from lakeside strolls to mountain marathons. Some of our favourite local walks are:

Causey Pike and the ridge to Crag Hill;
extend this to do the "Coledale Round" over Hopegill Head and Grisedale Pike (or do those from Whinlatter);
stroll along the side of Derwent Water and take the boat around the lake or into Keswick;
Maiden Moor, Hindscarth and Robinson – super ridge walking (you can see this from the house);
Aikin Knott, Ard Crags and Knott Rigg (another fine ridge just out of the door);
add the last two together for a super but very full round walk from the house;
walk around Buttermere – tranquil and with excellent pubs;
not forgetting Catbells with its lovely views of Derwent Water.

Sit in the garden and plan your walk by eye. Or you can drive a short distance to climb Skiddaw, Blencathra, Great Gable or Scafell Pike among many others.
