We headed to the Lakes for a weekend away and found this place by chance, driving by.

From the moment we walked in, we were made to feel welcome. We were given complimentary tea, coffee and cakes whilst a room was made ready for us (we'd turned up early one morning).

The room was lovely - four poster bed, fire place, spotlessly clean and lots of nice touches like chocolates and decent toiletries.

We had dinner in the restaurant that night and it was excellent. Really tasty and not overly fussy.

Probably the best bit though was the breakfast the next morning. Everything was organic and tasted so fresh. I

Would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a relaxing break away from it all.

Myself and a friend stayed at Winder Hall in December and we thought the place was wonderful.

Beautiful building, idyllic location, outstanding views, staff were fantastic and incredibly welcoming, room was lovely and the food was delicious. It really is worth spending the extra for dinner, don't even consider going elsewhere!

We felt very lucky to have stumbled across this gem (thank you Tripadvisor reviewers!) and were so pleased with our stay that we paid them a little extra. I hope to return to the Lake District this year and would not consider staying anywhere else.

Stayed here for a couple of days for walking in the area,a little difficult to find but well worth the effort. The atmosphere was relaxing from the word go. The food was of a very high standard matched with the excellent room and attention to service. Remember swimwear to take advantage of the hot tub and sauna. Which although down the garden ( a bit chilly when we were there) is relaxing with lovely views of the grounds.we look forward to our next visit when time allows. we would (and have) recommended this lovely hall to our friends.

Found this on the web, and it just looked amazing. We booked a full week, and it exceeded all our expectations... Glorious location, incredibly delicious food (thanks Helen), bedrooms with all the comforts of home, superbly helpful (and gorgeous) staff, stunning views, delightful walks - AND those afternoon teas with home-made cakes. Oh yes, and the cocktails and canapes. And the great packed lunches. And the sauna. And, and, and. THOROUGHLY recommended.
