In Fine Company

This elegant 18th century country retreat feels perfectly at home in the Lake District – originally built as a gentleman's residence, but more than fine enough to host the entire family. Inside, the historic bones are still there, paired with a modern design and just enough period detail to keep its personality. Start your day with a cuppa outside, taking in the sweeping views, and end it in the drawing room by the log burner with a glass of wine – perhaps with the piano playing if someone's up for it. And while the surrounding hikes are impressive, you might find yourself wandering the grounds instead, with a spacious lawn, pond, and even a waterfall.

Home truths:
*Starter toiletries are provided. However, you will want to stock up on other essentials such as coffee and tea, as these are not included.
*Self-check-in is available here. You'll either pick up the keys at a nearby property or use a lockbox on the premises. Your host will confirm instructions before your arrival.
*Your host uses a third-party platform called Truvi for ID verification and to manage damage deposits independently from Plum Guide. They'll send you a link to fill out when you book.
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
*There's an unfenced pond and stream here. You'll need to keep an eye on little ones at all times.
*Up to two well-behaved pets are welcome to join you upon request. You'll need to bring their own bed and towels.
