Welcome to Ouse Bridge House

We are a family run Guest House upon the shore of Bassenthwaite Lake in the Lake District in Cumbria, a Unesco World Heritage site no less!

We have ‘rooms with a view’, rooms for families, the intrepid walkers, singletons, honeymooners and everyone inbetween.

We are (very) dog friendly, as is much of the Lake District. We have pubs and restaurants nearby and a world to get lost in on your doorstep, (hopefully not literally)!

We run an honesty bar in the lounge and serve a hearty breakfast to suit all preferences, just be sure to advise us when you book.
