Designed by an award-winning local architect to an exceptionally high specification, this purpose-built boutique hotel nestles among mature willows, beech and oak and is situatedclose to Carlisle and M6, within easy travelling distance of the Lake District and Hadrian's Wall.

The large natural pond in front of the property provides a habitat for a huge variety of wildlife; regular visitors include kingfishers, heron and a variety of wildfowl. This superb b&b, now featured in 'The Good Hotel Guide' not only provides some of the best bed and breakfast accommodation in Cumbria but can also provide clients with meeting, wedding and conference facilities.

Probably most important than any of the many tangible qualities of Willowbeck, will be the warmth of our welcome and friendly companionship in this 'home from home''... there can be no doubt that you will enjoy a wonderful stay.
