Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Rosthwaite?
The best area to stay in Rosthwaite is within the village centre itself, particularly around the B5289 road, as it offers the most convenient access to amenities and walking trails.

Rosthwaite is a small, traditional village located in the Borrowdale Valley. The main thoroughfare, the B5289, runs directly through it, connecting it to Keswick to the north and the Honister Pass to the south. The village is compact, meaning most accommodations are within a short walk of each other and the local pub and tea rooms. This area is surrounded by fells, offering immediate access to the natural landscape.

For couples looking for a tranquil escape with direct access to hiking, staying in the village centre is ideal. You're right on the doorstep of numerous walking routes, including paths leading to Stonethwaite and Eagle Crag, and the renowned Cumbria Way passes close by. After a day on the fells, the local pub provides a welcoming spot for an evening meal without needing to travel far.

Solo travellers will also find the village centre appealing due to its accessibility and the sense of community. The local facilities are all within easy reach, making it simple to organise daily excursions or simply relax.
When is the best time to go to Rosthwaite?
The best time to visit Rosthwaite is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is generally at its finest for outdoor activities.

This is superb for hikers and walkers who want to make the most of the extensive network of trails, from gentle valley strolls to more challenging mountain ascents. The improved weather also means a higher chance of clear views across the stunning Lake District landscape.

Should you prefer a quieter experience with fewer crowds, the shoulder seasons of May and September also offer pleasant conditions. In May, the spring flowers are in bloom, and in September, the autumn colours begin to emerge, providing a different kind of beauty.
