No5 Stybarrow Terrace was originally built as a miner's cottage, for the Greenside mine at the foot of Helvellyn. In 1890 engineers blasted through Stybarrow Crag to facilitate lakeside access from Penrith to Glenridding. Stybarrow Tearrace was built using stone from the excavation. 

It has been recently fully refurbished and now offers quality B&B accommodation. There is a large double room with a sofa bed and a smaller double which is often let as a single. Both rooms have colour TV and tea and coffee making facilities. Our Glenridding bed and breakfast has excellent views of the surrounding fellside, and there is parking available outside the B&B.

We offer a very competitive rate starting at just £24 per person per night for bed and breakfast. Payment is by cash or cheque.

This Glenridding B&B is a no smoking establishment and we regret that we are unable to allow pets.

The guest house is located in the heart of Glenridding, which is situated in the centre of the Lake District. There are many things to do and places to see in and around Glenridding and the neighbouring village of Patterdale. 

Ullswater, a 5 minute walk from the B&B, is the second longest lake in the Lake District and seen by many as England's most beautiful lake. The famous Ullswater Steamers which run from Glenridding to Howtown and Pooley Bridge are just a 10 minute walk from Stybarrow Bed and Breakfast. You can also hire boats and canoes at the Glenridding Sailing centre, again less than 10 minutes away by foot. 

For those looking to enjoy the Lake District fells, the Stybarrow B&B lies at the foot of the Helvellyn range, with the majestic Helvellyn itself, and other great fells such as St Sunday Crag, Dollywaggon Pike and Catsycam. On the other side of ullswater is the less well known but equally beautiful Place Fell, and the old Roman Road of High Street. 

Glenridding also has a good range of places to eat and drink, including the Travellers Rest pub, which is just 300 yards from our bed and breakfast. There are a range of local shops, one with a cash machine, and a Post Office in nearby Patterdale.
