A beautiful country-house hotel near the Lake District, with an AA Rosette-awarded restaurant and spectacular spa facilities - includes breakfast, one optional dinner, plus an optional gin distillery tour, and more
  • Lake District luxe: Housed in a 19th-century manor house in Cumbria's magical Eden Valley, Appleby Manor Hotel & Garden Spa is simply bursting with country charm. One of the finest spots near the Lake District, you'll find contemporary country-chic interiors, an open log fire and mountain ranges, valleys, and fells aplenty, you're in for a scenic rural retreat.

  • Award-winning eats: The hotel prides itself on its sensational AA Rosette-awarded restaurant, where fresh, locally-sourced ingredients are used to concoct a varied and innovative fine-dining menu. Elsewhere, the more casual 1871 Bistro serves hearty regional fare overlooking the gardens, while the hotel's impressive selection of wines and whiskies is perfect for evening tipples.

  • A wellness oasis: The hotel's luxurious Garden Spa is a Lake District wellness go-to, offering no less than 80 different treatments with high-end products and an exclusive aqua thermal journey. Switch off in the indoor hydrotherapy pool, bubble away in the hot tub or blow off steam in the sauna and steam room - rural R&R has never felt so good.

Location and what's nearby

Roman Road, Appleby-in-Westmorland, Cumbria CA16 6JB

The Eden Valley is the Lake District National Park's lesser-known but equally spellbinding neighbour, and is a great way to discover some of England's most beautiful country landscapes from off the beaten track. Nevertheless, the ever-popular National Park is just 20 minutes' drive away, and the Pennines – with High-Cup-Nick and Murton Fell – are even closer.

The historic Appleby Castle, built in the 15th century, is five minutes away by car, hosting its own open-air theatre and even dramatic battle re-enactments. And for a taste of local country living, you'll find several quaint market towns  within driving distance, complete with pretty tea rooms and charming pubs.
