Our 42 individually designed rooms, award-winning spa with an outdoor hydrotherapy pool, and family-friendly facilities cater to diverse needs, from romantic getaways to weddings.The adjacent Lake District Wildlife Park, attracting 50,000 annual visitors, enhances our appeal. We prioritise Cumbrian hospitality, offering fine dining in The Lake View Restaurant, relaxed meals at The Grill, and curated experiences like archery and fell walking. Continuous improvements ensure our guests enjoy timeless tranquillity, contemporary comforts, and a legacy of excellence rooted in our 400-acre estate.
