Robyn's Nest at Applethwaite Hall

Do A Little Or Do A Lot – It’s Your Holiday

When you arrive at Applethwaite Hall, via the long driveway, and park in your private space, your shoulders will drop and your smiles will widen. Peace and tranquillity await. Go through the main wooden doors, head upstairs and you’ll find Robyn’s Nest on the second floor – the spacious apartment is all on one level. Brought your walking gear? There’s plenty of room to stash it in the generous hallway. Unpack first or pop a cork and celebrate the fact you’re both here? Decisions, decisions.

Relax in the evenings after days out with a long, luxurious soak in the tub in the beautifully tiled bathroom. Or start your day with an invigorating shower – walk-in, of course. Next door is the comfy bedroom with its view of the fells and king-size bed just made for lie-ins.

Down the corridor is the elegant, light-flooded open-plan living space. Sink into the sumptuous corner sofa and flick through the channels on the smart TV with a soundbar. There’s free Wi-Fi, too, of course. And a selection of games you don’t need a signal for. Hungry? If you’re not eating out, the modern kitchen and dining area has everything you’d expect and high-spec Neff appliances to boot.

Prefer wildlife to nightlife? Head outside to the large, shared garden and woodland and see what you can spot – badgers, birds and deer have all been known to make an appearance.
