A 5-minute drive from Bassenthwaite Lake, Ravenstone Manor is an 19th-century manor house set in 3 hectares of ground. The property is at the foot of Skiddaw, overlooking Bassenthwaite Lake. It offers stone walls and en suite bathrooms. It is beautiful, well kept, very clean and every part of the manor is enjoyable. Staff is extremely nice and friendly. The location is perfect, especially if you travel with a dog there are paths for walking immediately out of the building. Food is delicious.
