The Kellbank

About

The Kellbank Hotel sits in the heart of the unspoilt Lake District in the picturesque village of Gosforth, overlooking the dramatic peaks of Scafell Pike and the tranquil Wasdale Valley. With 22 fully refurbished rooms—including twins, doubles, a family room and a ground‑floor room with restricted mobility access—the hotel offers an inviting blend of comfort and convenience for walkers, families and holidayers alike. Every room is en‑suite, boasts free high‑speed Wi‑Fi and, for those with pets, a spacious ground‑floor option that provides direct garden access. The on‑site restaurant, award‑winning and open seven days a week, serves a wide selection of dishes made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients, complemented by a curated range of real ales, lagers and regional spirits. The bar welcomes guests 24/7 on most days, with extended hours on week‑ends to accommodate late evenings. A dedicated children’s play park, pony park and occasional family events make the Kellbank an ideal base for families visiting the fells. Beyond the hotel, visitors can explore the famed Scafell Pike and neighbouring fells – the walk starts from Wasdale Head just a short drive away, with clear signage and public transport links nearby. With its blend of adventure, hospitality and scenic beauty, the Kellbank provides a true Lakeland experience for all who seek nature, comfort and good food. The hotel now also offers cosy luxury pods, wooden huts that are open all year round, providing a unique, seasonal retreat that opens guests to the changing Lakeland sky.
