Planning a weekend trip up in November with my dad and brother for a bit of walking. Normally we’d camp, but with it being November something a bit warmer is needed. YHA private room at ~£70 seems the best option at the moment, any better suggestions? Any Wigwams near there? Needs to be cheapish.

family camping pods here for £42 a night which might sleep 3. But iiwy a yha bunk room would be a much preferable option and a B&B even more so. Splash out a little bit and have the comfort of a tv room in the evening, hot showers and a cooked brekkie.

Crikey, too much shouting in bold on that link for my liking 😉

I reckon YHA is the best bet too, B&B probably pushing the budget a bit too much.

The pub beneath Blencathra , near Threkheld, on the A66 where everyone parks to walk over Sharp edge has recently built cabins (behind it) for renting. Not seen inside but worth investigating.

Give Graham and Gina a call at http://www.harvington-house.co.uk/ on 017687 75582. Fab B&B in Keswick 😀

Last time I was there I stayed at http://www.lyntonlodge.co.uk they’ve got two wee apartments (sort of like bedsits really – bed / sitting / dining room with kitchenette and a shower room off) One is 2 beds plus bed settee the other is a double bed and two bunks. They cost £75/night and having you’re own kitchen means you can self cater and save a bit of dough that way too.
