About

New Ing Lodge offers bed and breakfast, dorm style rooms and camping in the Eastern Fells on the edge of the Lake District and the Eden Valley in Cumbria. We are positioned in Shap, on Wainwright's and the Westmoreland Way, and are easily accessible for the Eastern Fells of the Lake District, The Howgills and The Pennines. New Ing Lodge was a working farm up until the late 1980's but as far as records can be found, it has also been a Coach House/ Guest House since 1820.

It also makes us just over an hour and a half from cities such as Liverpool, Glasgow, Leeds and Manchester, and less than an hour from Newcastle and Preston. We are easy to reach by public transport with Penrith train station on the main Virgin west coast line from London and Glasgow. From Penrith bus station buses run to our B&B in Shap on a regular basis and they take about 25 minutes (but not on a Sunday). For more information on how to reach New Ing Lodge please see our directions.

We are within 200yards of the Post Office, Supermarket, Fish & Chip Shop and Pubs. There is also local attraction Sleddale Hall from cult film Withnail and I (1987) starring Richard E Grant, Paul McGann and Richard Griffiths which was filmed at Wet Sleddale reservoir, 2 km from Shap. For more information on the local area please see the Shap Community Website or see a list of activities and places on interest on our things to do page.
