A great atmosphere with plenty of outdoor space and quirky sitting areas surrounded by woodlands and flowers. A large conservatory where you can sit and enjoy breakfast and lunch. Vegan and gluten free friendly foods and cakes!!! Inside the conservatory you have a large grape vine plant surrounding the whole entire glass roof, looks amazing. I had a Mexican style breakfast with added goat cheese which complimented my lunch perfectly. Wonderful array of home made cakes!!! Then surrounding this wonderful place, you have individual independent shops. We also visited this lovely gentlemen who explained how to make Gin. You can pay for a package where they reach you how to make and you can go foraging for your ingredients to really get the whole experience. We bought a bag to take to try out their signature Gins. Also there is a wedding Yurts you can hire for your guess’s. We also walked further to these individual big flanking tents that you can book with huge dining tables, wood cooking facilities, hidden beds to gain privacy, all this would be lit by candles lanterns that hang from the ceiling. This must look and feel amazing in the evening!!! Then discovered the outdoor shower shed with a pull down bucket! Think they have a gas cylinder where you can heat the water. Then discovered the hot tub which also gets heated up with logs!! Our door space for camp fire, another tent for games room and reading. A swing outside your tent, and then you walk a few seconds toward the lake where you can grab your boat and row away and take in the amazing views!

Delightful cafe 10 minutes off the M6. We normally stop at Tebay on our journeys to/from the Midlands and NE Scotland, but have been disappointed with the quality there recently. Apple Store was a pleasant change with excellent home made food.
