Brathay Hall - Brathay Trust

Brathay Hall offers double, twin, and single en-suite rooms across lodges and cottages on a room-only basis. Superior rooms in Scafell Lodge include a fridge and views over the parkland toward Windermere lake. The estate grounds provide a garden, terrace, and picnic areas for guests to use.

Breakfast is available as a pre-ordered cold continental option or a full English fry-up for an extra charge. The property has a shared lounge with a TV area and a business centre for corporate guests. A drying room for wet clothing is accessible after outdoor activities.

Brathay Hall operates primarily as a residential training centre for Brathay Trust, offering low-wire balancing challenges and high-wire thrills like the pamper pole. Meeting and banquet facilities are available on site for corporate groups. The estate also hosts yoga retreats and special-interest courses throughout the year.

Dog-friendly rooms are available in select lodges and cottages with a small surcharge applied per stay. The grounds include fields and walking paths directly from the accommodation for exercising pets. A dog goodie bag is provided in pet-friendly rooms upon arrival.

The property lies one mile from Ambleside town centre, with shops, restaurants, and traditional pubs within walking distance.
