Moresby Hall is one of Cumbrias most historic homes. A Grade I listed building circa 1620 offering stunning country guesthouse accommodation and retaining many of the original features. This home has been described as one of the most important buildings in Cumbria by English heritage and “totally unique and welcoming by so many of our guests. We receive many repeat visits and recommendations. Moresby Hall enjoys a semi-rural location but is close to Whitehaven, a Georgian market town within the Western Lake District.
The emphasis is on relaxation and genuine hospitality at this family home. There is an abundance of fresh flowers and great care has been taken with decor and furnishings. Guests are encouraged to make themselves at home and enjoy the tranquil setting for their stay.
Our unique Oak Orangerie which overlooks the private walled gardens and the lawns is a delight. This is a great place for small meetings or just somewhere to relax and enjoy the outlook. In winter months you will enjoy our huge open fires and comfortable drawing room which is perfect for pre dinner drinks or to curl up with a good book.
The six spacious bedrooms are all en-suite, beautifully appointed and superbly equipped. Each has soft fluffy towels, quality Gilchrist & Soames toiletries, a comprehensive beverage tray, the finest bed linens and a well stocked bar basket if you want an extra nightcap on retiring.
Moresby Hall is a great place for private family or business gatherings. You can book all the accommodation with meals provided to ensure you have exclusive use of the Hall for family, friends or colleagues.
We are also offering dates each month for Jane’s Cookery Demonstrations in the stunning specially commissioned Smallbone® kitchen.
