Welcome to Wales, where just a hop across the border from England feels like you've entered a new world entirely. This compact country boasts inspiring hills, formidable castles and moody coastlines of crumbling rock and golden sand.
We know that everybody has different ideas when it comes to food and drink but whatever your plans, we can help. If you have budding chefs in your party, they will love the facilities in both kitchens including the superb Rangemaster cooker and the American style fridge freezers. But if you’d rather take it easy and spend your time out and about (and why wouldn’t you?), we offer a huge range of alternatives. For example we could arrange to drop off delicious casseroles ready for you to pop in the oven, or serve up a delicious buffet. Or we can provide fully-fledged, waitress-served in-house catering. The choice is yours.
If you are celebrating something special, why not do it in style with a grand dinner party in the stunning wood-panelled dining room? We’ll look after it all for you, from lighting the candles to taking care of the washing-up and everything in between.
For informal meals, the orangery is perfect. What better than a convivial breakfast taking in the stunning views of the ever changing mountains? And when the weather permits, there is always the al-fresco, tree-flanked dining terrace where eating in the fresh country air is a total pleasure.
Of course, if you’d rather eat out there are great options within walking distance or a short drive away. You really will be spoilt for choice.
After a busy day out on the fells, on the water, or simply exploring the shops, there is nothing better than a good night’s sleep. You can sleep twenty people in ten grand, luxurious and delectably comfortable bedrooms. One of the rooms is on the ground floor with its own en-suite wet room, perfect for guests with mobility issues.
Eight of the bedrooms are king doubles (six of which are en suite; two of them share a bathroom) with two en-suite twins rooms that the children will love! All the rooms are wonderfully decorated but the décor, good as it is, plays second fiddle to the stunning views. By the way, if you need to squeeze in an extra one, there’s even a zed bed!
The house sits in five acres of private grounds, perfect for an evening stroll before supper, a friendly game of cricket or croquet, or hide-and-seek with the kids. Alternatively, you can let the kids play hide and seek while you enjoy a convivial drink on the terrace or in the orangery. Or venture over to the garden pavilion and throw a steak on the barbie!
By the way, we provide the cricket and croquet sets and the footballs. It’s fun to set up a little league to add a touch of competitiveness to your stay. There are lots of wonderful walks you can take straight from the house but if you want to jump in the car, it opens up the grand expanse of this most wonderful part of the world. Not very far away you can find clay pigeon shooting, archery, off-road driving, go karting, quad biking and paintballing. Kayaking, sailing and canoeing are all available on the lakes.
Why not take a stroll into Keswick? It’s only a 20-minute walk. You can while away a leisurely morning browsing round the characterful shops, boutiques, pubs, cafes and restaurants. There is even a theatre and, if time permits, it is well worth taking in a show. And it has a fascinating history for you to explore.
But for us, the landscape always beckons; the lakes, the mountains, the skies, the views. So much to see, so much to do, with activities for young and old alike. If you have been to the Lake District before you will know how it calls you back but if this is your first visit, one thing is for sure, you will want to go back again and again.
