A majestic location overlooking Lake Windermere and the Langdale Fells in the English Lake District is a perfect setting for Holbeck Ghyll.

Celebrated as one of the Lake District's finest country house hotels, Holbeck Ghyll is an oasis of calm, surrounded by many acres of woodland and natural beauty.

Built in the 19th Century, Holbeck Ghyll was bought in 1888 by Lord Lonsdale, one of the richest men in the country, to use as his hunting lodge. The "Yellow Earl", as he was known, was the first president of the Automobile Association and bequeathed the famous Lonsdale Belt to boxing.

All bedrooms are en suite, contain every modern amenity and most have spectacular lake views. Luxurious bedrooms are individually designed and furnished with exquisite taste. All rooms have fresh flowers, colour television with satellite, CD player with radio/cassette, a decanter of sherry, direct dial telephone, bathrobes, trouser press and hairdrier.

During 1998, six further rooms were opened in a detached house only 45 yards through the grounds. There is a separate adjacent car park.

Lodge rooms can be inter-connecting and have magnificent Lake views, ground floor access, and individual balcony or patio areas.

Lodge rooms have all the amenities of those in the main house with the addition of a minibar/fridge and tea/coffee facilities. Some rooms have a small kitchen. All bathrooms are large with separate shower cubicles.
