Seasonal meals served from 16th November until Christmas Eve.
Make this festive season truly special with a delicious meal in our popular Conservatory restaurant. Gather around the table, savour the occasion and enjoy a warm, cosy atmosphere.
Whether you’re celebrating with friends, bringing the family together or planning a work gathering, book early and let us make it an occasion to remember.

Christmas is the perfect time to treat yourself and those who matter most—so join us for wonderful food, festive cheer and a celebration to savour.
Twixmas in the Lake District
After the joyful rush of Christmas and before the New Year begins, take a well-earned pause with a peaceful Twixmas escape on the edge of the Lake District.
Our beautiful hotel offers couples, families and solo travellers the perfect place to slow down, relax and recharge after the frantic festive period.
Admire the wintry fells, warm up beside the fire after a brisk walk, unwind with a pre-dinner drink in the lounge and indulge in wholesome fayre in the restaurant.
Allow the tranquillity of the Melbreak and her staff help you rest, reset and ready for 2027.
