Home/Where to stay/Wigton/4- and 5-star hotels
4- and 5-star hotels in Wigton
A shortlist of 4- and 5-star hotels and cottages around Wigton, from farm cottages to country house rooms. It is for travellers who want a quiet base in north Cumbria with space, parking and easy access to the northern Lake District and Solway coast.
Staying in Wigton
Wigton is the main town in this north-west corner of Cumbria, and the 11 places on this shortlist are holiday cottages, farm stays and a country house set in the villages and countryside around it rather than in the town centre itself. Addresses range from Bassenthwaite and Ireby to Aspatria, Caldbeck, Mealsgate, Aikton, Easton and Skinburness.
That means a car and a taste for rural calm suit these stays best. Couples get quiet cottages such as Rose Cottage and Bruno's Bothy, both 5-star with a fireplace and Jacuzzi respectively. Families get cots, high chairs, kitchens and washing machines at Greengill Farm Holiday Cottage and Bramblewood Cottage, while The Croft Bungalow suits a short break with shops and food in nearby Aspatria. Those on business or passing through can use Midtown Farm Bed & Breakfast or Woodlands Country House for an easy overnight stop.
