Privacy and passion in the Lake District

For couples seeking the privacy of a luxury retreat with the facilities of an award-winning hotel, the Miss Potter Suite at Holbeck Ghyll Country House Hotel has all the right ingredients.

Located in the Lake District – arguably one of the UK’s most romantic destinations, the luxurious Miss Potter Suite at Holbeck Ghyll boasts majestic views of Lake Windermere, a private terrace with a Jacuzzi and most importantly, just enough distance from the main hotel for guests to feel like they are completely alone.

Holbeck Ghyll can provide room-service for couples wanting to make use of the luxury hideaway suite, which includes a lobby, lounge, bedroom and bathroom. Alternatively, guests can spend a lazy afternoon in front of one of the hotel’s open fires or on the sun terrace, try their hand at tennis or croquet, relax at the health spa or sample gourmet dining at the Michelin Star restaurant.

For guests who want to explore the surrounding area, there are activities and places of interest to delight every couple, including long walks in the lake-land countryside, horse-riding, lake cruising and rowing-boat hire and idyllic picnic spots with breathtaking views.

The Miss Potter Suite is available throughout 2009 from £235 per person per night to include a three-course Michelin-star dinner, bed and breakfast. For that extra special occasion, an anniversary or a first-night, Holbeck Ghyll is offering the Miss Potter Ultimate Romantic Package for an additional £80 per couple. This includes a mini facial or back massage at the boutique health spa, an arrangement of red roses, half bottle of Taittinger Champagne and a box of Holbeck Ghyll chocolates on arrival.
