Romantic Charm Meets Luxe Comfort

Designed with romance in mind, the honey hued beams, stone walls and handcrafted furnishings are a celebration of its past, with little luxuries like walk in rainfall shower, king sized matress and Egyptian cotton sheets, adding lashings of opulence.

Blending the antique with the modern with a dash of eccentricity this space has oodles of character and soul.

Industrial Elegance
& Cozy Luxury

In keeping with its former use, this inspired bolthole oozes industrial style. Lofty double height ceilings, and Lakeland slate stone walls are softened by designer fabrics and natural textures.

The King-sized "Nook bed", is a masterpiece of handcraftmanship, and with the log effect wood burner, invites slow mornings relaxing with breakfast in bed.

The Luxe ensuite seperated by a Crittal glass wall, with monochrome designer tiles, and a walk in rainfall Catchpole and Rye shower, is sure to invigorate you after a day spent walking the fells.
