Welcome to the Blencathra Guest House
This is a two-column layout with the navigation menu to the left. The background is neutral with a shadow effect at each side of the main content area. You can choose your own unique colour scheme. We suggest you collect your best digital photographs first, choose the ones that you want to figure most prominently on the page and then choose colours for your web page from those. If you want, you can leave the initial choice up to us and we will come up with a design proposal for you to comment on.
It is a good idea for your home page to have more than just a few lines of text. Part of the reason is that you want to make full use of the key phrases that will be picked out by the search engines (Google, Yahoo, etc). We will work with the text that you provide, suggesting alterations where they seem appropriate for the purposes of search engine optimisation.
It is a good idea to include some useful information about things to do and see in the area and find the best links for visitors to obtain further details. Although this may seem like free advertising for others, it is actually a benefit if more visitors click on links in your page.


Four-star comfort and
limitless rustic charm
in the valley that
Thomas Gray described
as England's Elysium.
