Heritage spaces &
proper Cumbrian pubs.
Five places to stay and two pubs to drink in, gathered across the northern Lake District, Cockermouth, Keswick, Penrith and the Eden Valley.
Seven buildings with stories. One quiet idea behind them.
A converted tithe barn. A Victorian chapel. A working watermill. We take old Cumbrian buildings and run them as they should be — generously, slowly, and with the people who know them best.
The Old Mill Inn
Six characterful rooms above a riverside inn, with hand-pulled ales and slow-cooked Cumbrian fare below.
Tithe Barn Hotel
Vaulted oak beams, gothic arched windows and a slow morning light over Cockermouth.
The Tithe Tap
Pew seating, deep green walls and a short, sharp list of gins and cocktails.
Sandgate Chapel Apartments
Six apartments carved from sandstone walls and stained-glass arches.
Highfield Hotel
A Victorian villa hotel with views over the lake to Catbells and the Newlands fells.
Isel Bridge House
Five-bedroom exclusive-use house on the banks of the River Derwent.
The Cross Keys
Real ale, a tight kitchen, and a bar that's been pulling pints since 1719.
The Highland Drove
Fell views, a serious kitchen and a fire that runs from October to April.
