The Queen's Head Askham - Inn in Cumbria
Askham, Penrith, CA10 2PF, Cumbria
England,
Reino Unido
Settle into your big, airy bedroom then take a stroll round the Lowther Estate. Once you've worked up an appetite sit down for a supper of wood-fired pizza; the menu changes with the seasons and pretty much everything that passes through the kitchen is reared, foraged and grown on the estate’s farms.
With just six rooms you're well looked after at this friendly inn. Start your day with a fell walker's breakfast: all the trimmings, porridge and veggie options too. Grab your swimmers for a dip in the public, outdoor pool next door (open in the summer) or it's a ten-minute drive to Ullswater for water sports, boat trips and lakeside walks. Cyclists, wild swimmers and fell runners are spoilt for choice, or have a go at fly fishing the river Lowther. Buzzy Penrith is a short drive.
Whatever you get up to during the day, you'll be delighted to warm up in front of the wood-burner or prop up the smart bar with a nightcap.
