Studio : Be Inspired in our creative space
Planning a workshop, creative get together, or health and wellbeing retreat, then our studio is the perfect place to generate that spark of inspiration. With full access to the studio, kitchen facilities, lounges, dining room and garden with views to boost your happiness, we can help you create the space you need for 8 to 16 people. We can leave you to it, or are around if you need advise on walks, activities etc. If you prefer we can also send you links to local caterers.
Suitable for activities such as business meetings, presentations, creative workshops, photography, yoga retreats and as far as your imagination can take you. Furniture can be moved in and out of the studio for flexibility.
See blog for more photos of activities taking place in the studio for inspiration. (Link Below)
The studio measures 6.7 x 5.1mtrs and can fit 9-12 yoga mats as an approximate guide. We have yoga equipment for 16. We have 12 tables and 10-12 chairs that can be moved in and out. There is a projector, Bluetooth speaker and WiFi available.
The studio is included as part of booking the whole house if you are planning a residential retreat.
For day hire only it needs to be a full day hire at £175. Mondays to Thursdays. Not in school holidays. 8:30am – 5:30pm unless arranged otherwise.
See our blog for mats laid out to give you an idea of space.
Activities : Adventure is out there
Think of Damian and Joanne as your new favourite travel agents who have your personality in mind. Life gets pretty busy, so simply tell us what your group is in to and we can suggest activities in the area and even link you with local suppliers. Being in the perfect location of Cumbria and also The Yorkshire Dales National Park, you will have access to so much. The UNESCO World Heritage location of the Lake District is as close as a 20 minute drive and in the other direction, key locations in The Yorkshire Dales National Park can be reached in 30 minutes.
We have hiked Wainwrights, go wild swimming, completed the Yorkshire Three Peaks, taken on the Honister Via Ferrata and have a discount code for Go Ape.
Joanne has previously tried rope climbing at the Kendal Climbing Wall and Damian previously started his Mountain Leadership training so has a whole pile of maps and routes he can show you. We have an ice bath in our section of the garden as cold exposure is a luxury we love.
Email us and we can send you pdfs on things to do, or take a read of our blog section on activities to start getting inspired to push that comfort zone.

We are looking for tutors and those with an idea for a retreat to help us put together various weeks throughout the year for people to book on to. It could be something for foodie lovers, fitness fans, or days of learning how to be more creative.
If there is something you are looking for and you can’t find it, then do call us and we can look to organise it going forward.

Such a beautiful house, tastefully decorated & with every kind of extra touch you could want or need. Lovely hosts, very welcoming but equally astute at judging how much to interact with guests & gave us all our own space. Would definitely recommend!
Enjoyed every minute of being here. Thank you for looking after us so well. We look forward to returning each year.
What a great place to relax on our travels around the UK. Thanks Damian and Joanne for your awesome hospitality and taking us for a hike to the top of the waterfalls.
