Lovely rooms next door to a great community pub with good grub. Couldn't have a better host who even thought to book us a table at the pup.

Denton House in Hesket Newmarket is a lovely, peaceful and remarkably inexpensive place to stay in the northern Lake District. The Old Crown pub, the first to be owned by the community, is just two doors along. The Old Crown offers simply delicious home made food and a great selection of their own beers brewed on site, which is the main reason I chose to stay at Denton House, after passing through the village last summer.
Hesket Newmarket is only 25 minutes from Carlisle to the north and within 45 minutes to Birdoswald Roman fort and Hadrian's Wall. About 25 minutes to the walks of Skiddaw and
