Manor Suite Armathwaite

An exquisite retreat for two, this delightful accomodation makes for the perfect romantic stay in Cumbria. Offering ground-floor, studio-style accommodation, the charming one-bedroom haven is one of three sumptuous hideaways that, collectively, sleep up to 16 guests within the Georgian mansion.

Providing exceptional privacy for couples, the apartment nestles in the Eden Valley, in quiet Armathwaite, 10.5 miles from Carlisle and 5 miles from the edge of the picturesque North Pennines. The scenic Lake District, with its rolling fells, begins 12 miles from the property.

You can plan a day out on the local Carlisle to Settle Train line which stops at Armathwaite or a day trip to Pooley Bridge, 18 miles away, within the national park. Here, you can head out on beautiful Ullswater by booking seats on one of the famous steamers or hiring your own rowing boat or canoe.

Follow a section of the circular Ullswater Way to walk along the shores of the lake. See Hadrian’s Wall, 11 miles away, during your break.

There is are also two golf courses close by in Brampton and Penrith. Arrive at the apartment by driving through the electric security gate and into the courtyard and parking area.

Amble inside via the original front door to the impressive Grade II-listed manor house. Find yourselves in a sleek, open-plan studio space.

At one end is your contemporary-style lounge, kitchen, and diner, where you can settle on the loveseat, with the wood burner roaring and your favourite box set streaming on the Smart TV. Conjure up romantic meals for each other in the kitchen area, then open a bottle of wine and dine together at the table.

When day turns to night, wander over to the bedroom space, which is set behind a partition. Here, you have a luxurious super-king-size bed, where you are sure to indulge in a superb night’s sleep.
