Privately owned Victorian former gentleman’s residence in two acres of grounds. Quiet and comfortable with plenty of parking space, yet only a short stroll from the town centre. Cyclists are welcome to leave their bikes for the duration and there is a secure lock-up for bikes. Has been looking after C2Cers since the route opened.

Run by: Jacky & Ann Walker

Elegant 18th century house in the town centre offering 10 twin rooms well suited for groups. Ideal at weekends as it tends to be booked during the week. This house - in fact two houses knocked into one - was built by the Whitehaven artist, Mathias Read, whose paintings captured much of the town’s splendour in its Georgian heyday. Surrounded by pubs and restaurants, this is an ideal start point for weekend C2Cers.
