Westfield now builds the days around the stay, not just the stay itself — walking, mountain biking, sailing, water skiing, climbing and everything else the Lake District does well, arranged for our own guests and for anyone else who'd like Ullswater organised properly.
Stay Westfield is still where this begins — comfortable beds, a hot tub, a terrace over Ullswater worth getting up for. If you haven't booked yet, that's the place to start.
The Concierge picks up from there. Once your dates are set — with us, or anywhere else on the lake — we build the days around them: walking, biking, sailing, climbing and everything else the Lake District does well, matched to your ability, your appetite for risk, and how many mornings you actually want to be up before eight.
Have a look through the modules below, see what a few weeks look like already put together, then tell us what you're after. Every activity is run by the people who do it professionally, day in, day out — our part is knowing who to call, in what order, and around what weather.
Dates, who's coming, how active you want to be, and anything you'd rather avoid — heights, cold water, early starts.
A day-by-day itinerary drawn from the Lake District's specialists, timed around weather, crowds, and your own stay.

Westfield began as a place to stay. It's become the number people call before they've even booked anywhere. Whether you're in one of our own rooms, a cottage along the lakeshore, or a tent further into the Lake District, the same concierge can build your week.
Enquire without booking a stay →A working network of outdoor specialists — some on the lakeshore, others a short drive through Keswick or up towards Blencathra.
RYA tuition and boat hire from a lakeshore base at the southern end of Ullswater.
England's only true mountain forest, with waymarked red and black trails and bike hire on site.
Cabled via ferrata routes across an old slate quarry face at the top of Honister Pass.
Quad biking, off-roading, horse riding, archery and clay pigeon shooting, a few miles from Ullswater.
Plus the wake and ski operators at Pooley Bridge, the heritage steamers, Keswick's climbing and ghyll specialists, and a handful of more unusual finds — falconry, alpaca trekking, dark-sky nights and local tastings among them.
No. The concierge service is open to anyone staying anywhere on Ullswater — our own guests just get it as standard.
As soon as your dates are fixed, ideally. Popular sessions — via ferrata, sailing tuition, ghyll scrambling — get booked up in peak season, so the earlier we know your plans the more choice we have.
We build a wet-weather alternative into every itinerary from the start, and stay in touch with each operator on the day. Nobody's left standing in a field wondering what's happening.
Yes — it's one of the things we spend the most time on. Most of the Lake District's operators are used to running sessions for a wide age and ability range within a single booking.
Every itinerary is tailored specifically to your trip, so scope and cost vary accordingly. Tell us what you're after using the enquiry form below and we'll confirm exactly what's involved before anything's booked.
A few details is all we need to start drafting a route. No obligation to book, and no obligation to stay with us either.
