LUXURY, COMFORT AND JOY When only a pocket of absolute indulgence will do it’s advisable to have Broadoaks boutique Country House Hotel on speed-dial. This stunning slice of Lakeland heaven sits atop a six-acre eerie, overlooking the rolling hills and valleys of Troutbeck; spectacular in all four seasons. Traditional architecture and features meet quirky modern twists and there’s more than a hint of playfulness within the interiors; but the owners are nothing if not serious when considering guests’ comfort. It’s a level of attention to detail that goes beyond ‘little touches’; this is the thinking that elicits a hushed ‘wow’ and leaves guests glowing with delight. Layers of welcome accumulate softly within guests’ rooms, with deliciously generous pure-wool rugs, crisp Egyptian linen and enveloping faux fur throws. Showers drench and invigorate, lazy mornings beckon while the hills offer adventure. The perfect playground to explore exclusive, private or social – the hotel has a unique knack of offering a range of different experiences at one golden location. Each guest room in the main house is individual, and the beautifully designed accommodation luxury hideaways throughout the grounds encourage let-yourself-go hedonism. Service is friendly, attentive but never intrusive. Food and drink is classy, delicious and well-chosen. Best of all, the hotel, with all its luxuries, doesn’t forget that the experience is all about you. So if bringing your dog makes you happy, that’s fine too. Broadoaks is the premier venue for classy weddings small and large and is available for exclusive hire. If you want to avoid traffic hold ups on the route - there’s a helipad. http://www.broadoakscountryhouse.co.uk/
