They look like something straight out of the pages of a Jane Austen novel, they stand in acres of gorgeous grounds and they exude the glamour of bygone days. But the best part is - you can stay in some. We have created this umbrella category of 'stately homes' to refer to these gloriously large, princely and indulgent properties which could be yours for the weekend

    Brantwood House

    Posted by thelakedistrict 15 July 2008

    Country house previously owned by artist John Ruskin. Near to Lake Coniston, so, if it's a nice day, combine with a walk along the lakeshore or even up nearby fell Coniston Old Man.

    Summerhill Country House

    Posted by Mfifty 27 May 2008

    This is a beautiful and B& in the heart of the Lake District. Luxury accommodation and a superb attention to detail make it a weary traveller's paradise. The owners have put their life and soul into the restoration project of this beautiful old house and they have made the wise decision of choosing quality all the way.

    The views are stunning, the breakfast excellent and the service second to none. I highly recommend a break away from the hectic life we all lead. I only spent two nights and have come back to Ireland ready for anything. Book ahead as this place is not going to be a secret find for long.

    This excellent small hotel used to be Beatrix Potter's holiday home. It is just down the road from Hill Top and overlooks Esthwaite water. There are lovely lounges to relax in or many walks to do from the door. Richard, the owner, is the chef and he produces superb, innovative meals.
