Both of our family hotels and our holiday cottages are located in the heart of the Western Lake District and The Pennington Hotel and holiday Cottages are, uniquely, in the only coastal village of the Lake District National Park, Ravenglass.  We are in one of the quietest areas of the Lake District, still unspoilt in many respects and home to 'Britain's Favourite View' at Wastwater amongst the highest Mountain in England.  Being situated on the Lake District coast is a great advantage for relaxing or more active breaks and is a relaxing country drive through some of the best senic roads to the heart of the Lake District or market towns.
