The Cottage in the Wood Country Hotel and restaurant is a former 17th Century coaching inn situated in the heart of the Whinlatter forest near Keswick, in one of the most beautiful and dramatic areas of the Lake District national park.

The Cottage in the Wood is five miles from Keswick in an area of the Lake District National Park that inspired the famous author and fell walker, A W Wainwright to write ‘that the North Western fells are the most delectable of them all’.

The Hotel provides a peaceful and tranquil location, yet is only ten minutes drive from the bustling market town of Keswick. We are ideally situated between the lakes of Bassenthwaite, Derwentwater, Buttermere and Crummock Water.
