Each morning, guests can enjoy either a continental or a full English breakfast. The kitchen takes pride in using locally sourced produce, with bacon and sausages supplied by a local butcher, including traditional Cumberland sausages.
After a day spent sightseeing, guests are invited to relax in the elegant library with a cup of coffee, or enjoy a drink from the fully licensed bar, which is served in the dining room. During the summer months, the outside terrace offers a pleasant spot to unwind with a drink and enjoy the sunshine.
