If you are interested in staying in a bed and breakfast in Cumbria then really you are spoilt for choice. From simple one room lets in out of the way farms, to large rambling Victorian buildings that once were homes to wealthy families from Liverpool or Manchester. Within Cumbria there are many different areas with their own characteristics and charm. There are seaside, lakeside and riverside locations. There are rural, village and town centre locations. Whichever you choose there will be a bed and breakfast for you. There is a terrific variety and you should find it much more personal than a hotel chain. Starting in the north of the county there is Carlisle and the lowlands of the Solway Firth. In the west there are the coastal towns of Silloth, Marypoirt, Workington and Whitehaven. In the east there is the Eden Valley and the western fringes of the Pennines. In the south there is the Kent Estuary, the shores of Morecambe Bay and the area around Barrow in Furness and Walney Island. In the centre is the Lake District National Park with mountains and lakes. Here are the popular villages of Windermere, Ambleside, Grasmere, Keswick, Hawkshead and Coniston. In all these areas there are bed and breakfasts. If you cannot find a bed and breakfast in Cumbria that meets your requirements then you probably won’t be able to find one in the whole of the country. Visitors often cannot believe their eyes when they see how many establishments there are. Do not be fooled into thinking that it will be easy to find somewhere to stay just by turning up without having anything booked. Although it is possible to do this out of season or sometimes in the fringes of the National Park or round the borders of Cumbria, at peak periods it is not unusual for visitors - with no booked accommodation - to have to return home or sleep in their car. Occasionally it has been known for people to be passed on to Blackpool by the Tourist Information Centres. People who choose to stay in bed and breakfast establishments rather than hotels do so usually because they like the more personal atmosphere. They will usually find that comparatively the price is more reasonable and of course the breakfasts are not mass-produced. Many owners get their supplies locally from within Cumbria if possible. Owners are normally knowledgeable about the area and can give advice to guests on where the best places to eat are situated, where to go for good walks, times needed to get from one place to another and many other things besides. For many regular visitors to Cumbria one of the things they look forward to most in their bed and breakfast is the breakfast part. Most owners are more than willing to cater for special diets if they are given prior notice. This way there is no reason why anyone should not get a good hearty start to the day and for most that will probably mean they only need a light bite at lunch.
