THE CART SHED
The Cart Shed is perfect for larger gatherings of up to 60. With a huge fireplace at one end of the room and a glazed gable at the southern end and with uninterrupted views down the garden towards Haystacks and Buttermere, what could be better.
A beautiful flagged patio area leads straight up to the garden where guests can mingle or explore the 15 acres of fields, streams, woods and ponds on site. There are numerous benches situated around the garden on which to sit and enjoy the breathtaking views.
THE MILKING PARLOUR
The Milking Parlour is part of the original cow byres within a traditional Lakeland Bank Barn circa 1886, just across the cobbled yard from the main house.
A huge fire sits in one corner ready to roar into action on colder days. On sunny days there can be nothing nicer than to sit outside in the Old Midden, gazing out towards Low Fell and the incredible surrounding views. With its original floor showcasing its former life, The Milking Parlour features a whole host of interesting artifacts from a bygone era and exudes the warmth and soul that only an older property can.
The Milking Parlour can cater for a sit down celebration of up to 16 or a mingling celebration of up to 30, with the added benefit of having its own professional kitchen.
