Winter wanders

It’s a great time of year to explore the grounds at Allan Bank . Take a wander along the woodland trail or a gentle stroll around the kitchen garden with veiws out over Grasmere.

Warm up by the fire

After a walk round the gardens grab yourself a warm drink from our self -service kitchen and settle down in front of a roaring fire. Pick up a new read from the second hand bookshop or keep an eye out for the red squirrels running to and from the feeders on the lawn. Our merry band of elves have been busy decorating the house making it the perfect place to relax this Christmas.

There’s no café available on site, but you are very welcome to bring a picnic or pick up something from one of the shops or cafes in the village to eat in the house.

Add some Christmas sparkle

Our creative space is the perfect place to make a start on those Christmas crafts. We have Christmas Card and Tree decoration craft kits available for a small donation for you to sit and make together in our self-led creative space or to take home and enjoy.
