THE BIG HOUSE
The Big House is a magnificent abode, set at the front of the estate affording superb views across the immaculately manicured grounds to the fells beyond. The well-planned layout lends itself perfectly to a larger gathering of close family and friends looking to spend precious quality time together.
A two-year labour of love has seen the estate owners draw on their own family holiday experiences to ensure they provide their guests with just a little bit more than you’d expect from a self-catering break – a bit more space, a lot more quality, somewhere special to enable everyone to relax, unwind and to share precious family time together.
Along with experienced, local craftsmen and renowned interior designers, the extensive renovation works have involved centuries-old working practices to totally transform the original, imposing Victorian gentleman’s residence and adjacent sixteenth century barn cottages, groaning with history, into their present day, pristine condition.
Authentic Lakeland Exteriors And Grounds
The authentic Lakeland exteriors and grounds have been painstakingly rejuvenated and beautifully married with an eclectic interior palate of contemporary living, fashionable dining and distinctive sleeping spaces, all thoughtfully designed with the sole purpose of your assured comfort and enjoyment in mind.
To Suit Your Individual Requirements
The estate comprises no less than five glorious one-bedroomed barn cottages, a stunning three-bedroomed home and an exquisite seven-bedroomed Victorian dwelling which can be booked individually, all together or in any combination to suit your individual requirements.
Organising a big get-together, party, or corporate staycation?
We've already hosted a 50th birthday, two yoga retreats, several corporate staycations, a family reunion, and many formal dinners and family celebrations at The Hub. The main room is endlessly flexible. Whatever you want to host, we can accommodate it.
The Hub is available exclusively for guests of The Big House or those who have made full estate bookings. It can be booked for a day session, an evening, or the entirety of your stay.
