Stanley House - A pet-friendly guest house with gardens, cinema room, and proximity to Lake District attractions

Stanley House offers 12 individually furnished en-suite bedrooms, including twin, double, and family suites, each with free WiFi, flat-screen TVs, and garden or fell views. The property features a 24-seater cinema room with Apple TV, two guest lounges, and an open-plan kitchen/diner overlooking extensive gardens leading to the River Esk. Dogs are welcome by prior arrangement for a small fee, and bike hire is available. The Woolpack Inn, a sister property 5 minutes away, serves breakfast, wood-fired pizzas, and drinks. Stanley House is located in Holmrook, 100 km from Carlisle Lake District, with the Ravenglass & Eskdale steam railway passing directly in front.

Pros

The property includes a private cinema room with Apple TV for films and sports.

Guests have access to large gardens with views of the fells and River Esk.

Flexible room configurations accommodate families and groups.

Free private parking and WiFi are available throughout the property.

Proximity to Lake District National Park and local heritage railways.

Cons

Some rooms are dog-friendly, limiting options for guests with allergies.

The nearest major transport hub, Carlisle Lake District, is 100 km away.

“Nestled in the hills of Eskdale, this feels like a proper escape, particularly appealing given the self-catering kitchen and grounds that welcome dogs. The generous room sizes, combined with the architecture and views, give it a character beyond the price point; it's more like a private hostel experience, with the advantage of comfortable rooms.”
