The Old Vicarage Hotel,

Witherslack,

Cumbria LA11 6RS

The house, built in 1803, retains many original features and period furniture. Interesting bric-a-brac includes a fascinating
collection of antique pots and bottles, unearthed in the Vicarage woodland.

Near to the lakes... far from the crowds, this lovely old, family-run historic house offers the tranquil timeless atmosphere that reflects the calm and beauty of the surrounding countryside. The delightful, mature garden is stocked with many interesting plants, with part of it left as a meadow, teeming with wild flowers, unusual orchids, butterflies, dragonflies and birds. 

All rooms in The Old House are en-suite. Each room has its own distinct character, yet has all the modern facilities that you
would expect from a quality establishment - including TV and direct-dial telephones.

Orchard House, set between natural woodland and an ancient damson orchard, has particularly well-equipped, spacious rooms, each with its own woodland terrace. Deer, red squirrel and a great variety of birds surround you! There is also a magnificent four-poster bedroom with a cosy open fire - a touch of real luxury for those special occasions.

With top culinary awards, the well-planned menus include interesting, good quality locally-produced specialities. Diets can, of course, easily be catered for. 

The hotel also boasts an all-weather tennis court for guests in a delightful setting

Bread, biscuits, cakes and preserves are all home-made.

Traditional Cumberland breakfast will be an important part of your stay. Treats include porridge with whisky and Mr Richard
Woodall's renowned, Cumberland sausage and home-cured bacon. Richard's family have owned the farm at Waberthwaite for over 180 years and have received the Royal Warrant.
