The unwinding begins the moment you arrive. Following a warm welcome, you'll be shown to one of eight beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with its own luxurious en suite bathroom. We've thought of everything, from little treats like complementary toiletries to more practical concerns like hair dryers, internet access and your own hospitality tray. After that, it's up to you. Our pleasant gardens suggest drinks on the lawn or a lovely outdoor eating experience. Open log fires and a cosy drawing room invite you to curl up and relax. If it weren't for our superb location, you'd never want to go out - but the Lake District beckons, and it's all just waiting to be explored.
The Knoll's eight large double or twin rooms include the choice of a fabulous four-poster or a deluxe suite with king-size French sleigh bed. Furnished to the highest standards, our bedrooms feature white Egyptian cotton linen on sumptious duvets and beautiful individual decor. They are all equipped with TV , DVD, alarm clock radios with iPod docking stations, individual Freesat, direct dial telephones, modem points (WiFi in the public areas of the house), and hospitality trays. And there are laundry and ironing facilities should you need them. Our bathrooms feature either spacious power-showers or sumptuous corner baths with overhead showers. The deluxe suite has an exquisite bathroom with large double-ended bath and a separate shower.
You'll be pleased to know you can start and end your day with award-winning cuisine right here at the Knoll. It is also our pleasure to cater for vegetarians. Just let us know if you have any special dietary requirements and we will do our utmost to cater for your needs. Choose from an extensive variety of wholesome and mouthwatering breakfasts. For lunch, ask us to pack up a delightful picnic; afternoon tea is available by arrangement. And what could be easier and more enjoyable than coming back to a superb table d'hote dinner or in summer, a fabulous mezze. All our food is prepared carefully and conscientiously with fresh (and where possible, organic) local produce.
