This lovely Lake District accommodation takes you back in time, a reminder of a bygone era, where dressing up for dinners and victorian bath-tubs were the ideal. It is a generously proportioned Edwardian mansion and is perfect for anything from a family get-together, wedding reception, or even a birthday! The owner is more than happy to create a bespoke environment for you in terms of catering and activities. If you’re planning a hen party in Carlisle, Lakeside Hall is a splendid option for that as well.

Since it’s a family home, the interiors are pleasantly homey.
