"The Old School was built in 1866 and remained a school until 1963. It has now been converted into guest accommodation with three ensuite rooms, 1 Single, 1 Queen Double and 1 Super-King Double/Twin". We are situated in the unspoilt tranquil village of Newbiggin just 4 miles from Penrith, 3/4 of a mile off the A66 trans-pennine route and 2 ¾ miles from junction 40 on the M6, useful for a stopover to and from Scotland.

But if you wish to stay in the Lake District. We are only 4 miles from Lake Ullswater, and within easy reach of Keswick and surrounding lakes and hills. We are also on the doorstep of "John Peel country". So if you wish to stay you will be assured of a good welcome to our unique Cumbrian home, with a complimentary afternoon tea on your first day of arrival.
