State Drawing Room & State Dining Room

Our bar will remain open so you can enjoy the Christmas atmosphere and dwell in our State Drawing Room. Affectionately called the "Chinese Room" it features original 18th Century Chinoiserie hand-painted wallpaper and two working stone fireplaces - ideal for feeling snug in winter!

Enjoy Our Grounds

Why not take a stroll around our beautiful gardens and take in the fresh winter air? Explore the Bishop's Lawn, our walled Pettinger's Garden, with its fell views, and our Apothecary's Garden. Amble through the apple orchard, or explore the Moat Woodland, past the Old Fishpond to the Main Drive - there is lots to discover!
