Built in 1879 and once owned by the beloved author Beatrix Potter, our hotel is steeped in history and brimming with character. Many of our rooms feature unique layouts and details that celebrate the building’s rich heritage, alongside an array of original features in our public areas that have been carefully preserved. We are proud to be custodians of this historic property, ensuring its charm and character are lovingly maintained for future generations to enjoy. While our historic property does not include a lift, we offer three thoughtfully designed ground-floor rooms that are wheelchair-accessible and ideal for guests with mobility considerations. These rooms have been specifically designed to provide both comfort and convenience. We invite you to experience the unique charm of this remarkable property—a place where history is cherished and preserved for generations to come.

A haven of nature at our historic hotel

As spring arrives, our six acres of private gardens awaken, bursting into a vibrant haven filled with blossoms and wildlife. Picture yourself enjoying a cream tea or sampling delicious treats from our garden menu as you bask in the warm sunshine. Playful squirrels and wandering pheasants add to the charm, while early mornings often bring sightings of deer grazing on the lower lawn and ducks or even an otter at our tranquil pond. As summer follows, the gardens are bathed in sunlight, offering an ideal setting to unwind during long, warm evenings. Imagine lingering outdoors as the day melts into twilight, golden light filtering through the trees and a gentle breeze carrying the scents of the season. It’s the perfect time to savour a chilled drink and soak in the serene beauty which is all around you. When autumn arrives, the gardens radiate a breathtaking cloak of golden, crimson, and amber hues. The crisp air is filled with the rustling of leaves, creating an inviting atmosphere for enjoying warm beverages and seasonal delights from our menu. Watch from the warmth of our lounges as squirrels gather their treasures in preparation for winter and the gardens slowly prepare for their winter slumber. As winter sets in, the gardens transform into a peaceful wonderland. Frost adorns the trees and lawns, adding a magical sparkle to the landscape. The tranquillity is unmatched, and on those chilly days, you can retreat indoors to enjoy our hearty, seasonal dishes. Some wildlife still graces the grounds, with birds brightening the wintry scene, then as winter melts away, the cycle begins anew with the arrival of spring. The gardens reawaken, buds unfurl, and life returns to every corner of the grounds. The air is filled with the promise of new beginnings, and the vibrant charm of our gardens is ready to captivate you once more. Our gardens are a living, ever-changing wonder, offering unique beauty and joy in every season.

Experience the Majesty of Birds of Prey

On Sunday mornings, weather permitting, our gardens become the backdrop for a complimentary bird of prey static display. This extraordinary experience is ideal for nature lovers and families. After breakfast, head over to the side lawns to admire these magnificent creatures up close. The team from Lake District Falconry will be present to share their passion and expertise. Discover fascinating insights into the habits, habitats, and conservation of these stunning birds of prey in an engaging and educational session.

Let us handle all the details while you focus on unwinding. From delightful dining experiences and unique room features to engaging garden activities and enchanting musical evenings, we ensure every moment of your stay is filled with comfort and enjoyment.
