Mawson Hall

Main House

The ground floor centres around a spectacular conservatory, where floor-to-ceiling windows draw the surrounding countryside into the room and create a bright, tranquil spot to sit and take in the views across the gardens and distant fells. This space flows naturally into a vast open-plan sitting and dining room, where a wood-burning stove and deep sofas create a welcoming social hub.

A long bespoke oak dining table comfortably seats the whole group, making it ideal for celebratory meals or relaxed breakfasts together. Carefully crafted wooden furnishings, made by local craftsmen using timber from the surrounding area, add warmth and character throughout the room.

Elsewhere on the ground floor, an informal TV room offers a cosy retreat with another wood-burning stove, large sofas and a cinema-style screen for film nights. This room also features a piano, a full-size pool table, board games and a wall-sized map of the Lake District, perfect for planning the next day’s adventures. A boot room provides plenty of storage for coats and walking gear, while a utility room with washing and drying facilities ensures practical comfort during longer stays.

The main house features eight bedrooms in total, five doubles and three twins, supported by seven bathrooms, four of which are en-suite. Many of the rooms enjoy far-reaching views across the Lake District landscape, while the master bedroom is particularly special, with a freestanding copper bath perfectly positioned to take in the scenery. This room also includes Bose speakers and its own generous private balcony. Each bedroom is equipped with a hairdryer, and all bathrooms are stocked with locally made organic toiletries for an added touch of comfort.

The Coach House

Just a short stroll from the main house, the charming coach house provides an additional private retreat within the grounds. Recently restored, it offers a spacious sitting room with high ceilings and a wood-burning stove, along with a comfortable double bedroom and en-suite bathroom. With its own terrace and peaceful outlook, it’s ideal for guests seeking a little extra privacy while still enjoying full access to the main house and gardens.

Garden

The gardens extend across around six acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, originally designed in the early 20th century by renowned landscape architect Thomas Mawson. Guests are free to explore the sweeping lawns, terraces and hidden corners, with numerous viewpoints revealing breathtaking panoramas across the Lake District and the River Derwent below. Two stone summerhouses provide peaceful spots for evening drinks, while outdoor dining areas, a kitchen garden and a children’s play space make the grounds just as enjoyable for relaxed afternoons as they are for lively family gatherings.
