Rattleghyll

Climb the original winding staircase to arrive at this cosy room on the second floor. Its name echoes the original title for the cobbled alleyway that runs between the guesthouse and the stream (ghyll). The name arises from the din that was made by the woollen mills that surrounded the stream.

Within the room sits an elegant oak chest dating back to the Mid 18th Century, with the signature of its maker pencilled onto the side of one of the drawers. There are also lovely framed prints of the area and embroidery from our family collection.

Views from this room include glimpses of the imposing Fairfield horseshoe, as well as a panoramic view over Ambleside towards Loughrigg fell.

The Bathroom

After venturing onto the fells, soak your aching muscles in the steaming waters of the bronzed Imperium clawfoot bath. This attention grabbing tub sits on a rather lovely stone-tiled floor. Please note that there is no shower attachment. You will just have to indulge in a dip instead.

Fluffy towels and flannels are provided, as well as complimentary organic toiletries from Faith In Nature.
