Within the Lake District National Park, an impressive period country house, currently trading as a B&B/exclusive private hire in a prominent roadside setting with stunning panoramic rural views. Redeveloped in 2015 and finished to a high specification, offered in good condition with the benefit of attractive furnishings and all commercial fittings in order to continue trading.

The property offers 9 individually styled and generously proportioned ensuite bedrooms all enjoying delightful views with a characterful restaurant and bar, all of which is set in c. 1.6 acres including gardens, seating terraces, private parking and a hot tub.

The property is popular for both B&B (when staff are employed on an as and when basis) or for exclusive hire for family parties and party weekends when guests either cater for themselves or arrange professional catering.

The Lyth Valley Country House offers immediate asset management opportunities for a new owner to continue with the existing use, all of which is currently let through skiesholidays.co.uk, a company based locally in Bowness. There is potential to generate an annual income of circa £350,000 - £500,000.

There is also possible future development potential to expand the existing accommodation or explore the residential potential either as a single or multiple dwellings (subject to the necessary consents). If buyers are looking for a change of lifestyle then certain guest rooms could be commandeered as owner’s accommodation and the property operated in hand.

Available by separate negotiation to the property, there is the opportunity to acquire various other parcels. Including Heron Shepherd’s Hut which is also available for letting and a field (5.23 acres) on which is run 28 day camping during the summer months when a shower and WC block is moved onto site.

Further more the is a paddock extending to 5.98 acres with substantial detached barn, which we believe could potentially create two dwellings consisting of a two bedroom and three bedroom property in conjunction with the Lyth Valley Hotel whether as additional guest accommodation or for owners/management.

Please note: From April 2026 - Change of use of Hotel to use as either a primary or main residence or short-term holiday letting accommodation. (Planning Ref: 7/2026/5210).

The Lyth Valley sits on the edge of the Lake District National Park and is sheltered by surrounding limestone hills and thus enjoys a relatively mild micro-climate which over the years has enabled the creation of multiple damson orchards. Alfred Wainwright said that "The supreme joy of the Lyth valley is its annual springtime renewal", with damson blossom "appearing as white puffs of smoke all over the valley".

An excellent base for exploring South Lakeland, the Lake District and the west coast of Cumbria, the Lyth Valley is easy to reach off the M6 without getting caught up in the usual holiday traffic of the region.
