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 die for, we can help you create the space you need for 10 to 16 people. We can leave you to it, or help your collective be a hive of positivity by providing drinks at all the right times. 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 and you will find courses and events on our Facebook page that you can book on to.

The studio measures 6.7 x 5.1mtrs and can fit 9-12 yoga mats as an approximate guide. Please note we do not have yoga equipment. We have 12 tables and 10-12 chairs that can be moved in and out. There is a white board and projector, Bluetooth speaker and WiFi available. See blog for more photos of activities taking place in the studio.

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.

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, done wild open water swimming, completed the Yorkshire Three Peaks, taken on the Honister Via Ferrata and have a discount code for Go Ape.

Joanne has been learning to rope climb at the Kendal Climbing Wall and Damian has started his Mountain Leadership training so has a whole pile of maps and routes he can show you.

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.

Retreats : Unveil your hidden passion

Want to share your expertise with a group of like minded people?

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!
