Hause Hall Farm

Glassonby is tranquilly rural, but you can easily pick up coffees, cakes and cash along with papers and groceries in the village shop at Kirkoswald a couple of miles away. And local ales at The Fetherston Arms or The Crown. The village is also a popular starting point for some of the most scenic walks in the Lake District. Adventurers, walkers and hermits – this is your place. A hairpin track climbs through bracken-rich crags to the isolated five-star opulence of Hause Hall, a dry-stone beauty of a farmstead, where barn owls rear their young in the eaves. Stretch out on luxurious sofas in your spectacular glass-walled day room and feast your eyes on Lakeland hill views that out-wuther the Brontes. Warm rows of toes (and paws) at the four-oven Aga. For grand festivities or silly board games, gather loved ones round the long kitchen trestle. (It seats eighteen, so you can welcome your Cruik Barn and Stables guests too.) Regroup around the crackling log fire for wine, conversation, laughter and song. Exclusive access Manager available
