Description

If you have a passion for boating, walking and climbing, or to simply relax, this 4-star hotel is a peaceful hideaway. On the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake and with a backdrop of Skiddaw Mountain and Lakeland Fells it provides old-fashioned hospitality, as you would expect of a family-owned hotel. Wood panelling, impressive stonework, art and antiques remain, and you can arrange champagne, chocolates and flowers in your room upon arrival. Master Chef Kevin Dowling creates local, seasonal menus in the Rosette restaurant, and the hotel is family-friendly, with a programme of activities for mini guests. Get in touch with your inner child and visit the estate’s Trotters World of Animals, home to traditional favourites and endangered species. Due to open in the winter of 2008 is a luxurious spa, pool and fitness centre. Armathwaite Hall Country House, Hotel and Spa, Bassenthwaite Lake, Keswick, Cumbria CA12 4RE, England.
