Baronial splendour amid rolling Lakeland countryside – made for a landmark celebration.

Stepping into the vaulted main hall at Glassonby, with its iron chandeliers, arrowslit windows and vast stone hearths, medieval revelry comes to mind. Glassonby’s made for gatherings. Get the logs glowing, unpack your generous wicker welcome hamper and throw an impromptu banquet in the flagstone dining hall.

Rates range from £44 per person per night based on full occupancy of the 4 bedrooms for a 3 night mid-week stay in the early spring season.

Overview

With both Aga and oven in your professionally-equipped kitchen, cook up a feast or invite caterers in. After dinner, surprise your crowd and flip the dining table for a game of billiards. Or find a peaceful retreat in the beamed living room with deep casement windows overlooking rolling Cumbrian hills and farmland. If the mists set in, batten the oak shutters, stoke the wood stove with complimentary logs and curl up on deep sofas to read, talk and dream.

Glassonby’s medieval majesty and contemporary opulence will enchant you.

If you can bear to leave...

Glassonby Hall sits near the high point of one of the most beautiful rural valleys in Cumberland. The rustic sandstone walls and terraces provide plenty of viewing points as well as a relaxed place to catch the late afternoon sun after a day out exploring this beautiful part of Cumbria and the Lake District. A Weber charcoal barbeque and garden furniture are provided for your enjoyment.

There are lovely walks nearby leading to Lacey’s Caves along the Eden River, to the Long Meg Stone Circle (the second largest in England) and to the charming nearby Cumbrian villages of Kirkoswald and Melmerby where the Village Bakery and the Shepherd’s Inn Pub provide great food and local beers. Bicycles, locks and helmets are available for hire and the popular cross Cumbria C2C cycle route runs through Glassonby.

Glassonby is just under 15 miles from Ullswater, one of England’s most beautiful lakes, where there are steam cruises from Pooley Bridge to Glenridding, fabulous hikes up Helvellyn, chances to walk and paddle in the National Trust Aira Force Waterfall, pony treks from Rookin House Farm and canoes and sailboats available to hire from the Glenridding Sailing Centre.

Glassonby hall and Jenny’s Croft were beautiful, serene and so peaceful. We had plans to explore the Lake District but instead we decided to stay put to relax and enjoy our surroundings. We had a lovely time and would highly recommend

The Perfect Retreat. This is about the sixth time I’ve booked Glassonby Hall (and first time booking Jenny’s Croft) and it’s a place I’ll come back to again and again. It is simply perfect. It’s both spacious and cosy and comfortable. My guests ALWAYS say how relaxed and at home...
