District. In addition to the tourist and corporate trade the hotel enjoys; the bar and restaurant also has a significant local reputation and is extremely popular. Perfectly situated for a holiday in the Lake District, breaking a journey along the M6 or simply visiting Penrith for business or pleasure, the Brantwood Hotel is an early 18th Century former country residence with a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Standing in secluded gardens in the peaceful and attractive village of Stainton, Brantwood is only around 3 miles from Ullswater, less than a mile from Junction 40 of the M6, half a mile from the Rheged Centre and only a couple of minutes from the A66 which links the beautiful Northern Lakes of Ullswater, Derwentwater, Buttermere, Crummock Water, Bassenthwaite and others. The A66 and M6 are extremely busy tourist routes; and the A592 is also accessible directly from the village which links the area to Ambleside and Windermere (24 miles) via the well-known Kirkstone Pass.Other easily accessible towns and cities in the area include Keswick (circa 15 miles west), Carlisle (circa 19 miles north) and Kendal (circa 25 miles south).
