Nestled deep in the countryside, Brownber Hall is a beautifully reimagined Victorian country home with enough space to accommodate up to fifteen guests. Thanks to your wonderful hosts, Peter and Amanda, the home has been lovingly restored over the last few years to create a space that is both traditional and completely of its time. With two large sitting rooms and eight bedrooms, there is plenty of space for everyone to spread out, or to come together for evenings filled with family games and memorable meals. The kitchen is fully equipped and thanks to its open floor plan, it’s also a wonderfully social space. Guests lucky enough to stay here can also enjoy the expansive garden. Equipped with a barbecue and a fire pit, it's a fabulous space in which to sit back and relax at the end of the day. Here you're situated just between the Dales and the Lakes, so it's a popular spot for keen walkers and lovers of a good country pub. Smardale Nature Reserve is just a ten-minute drive away, as is the village of Kirkby Stephen.

Local guide
About The Lake District
Poets and novelists have often escaped to the Lake District for a spot of inspiration. Famously, Wordsworth pondered about daffodils and clouds during his time here. The undulating hills are tracked with drystone walls while sheep graze, and farmsteads enjoy untouched beauty for miles around. England’s biggest lake, Windermere, cuts through a valley, sleek as glass and hosts a litany of cosy-pub-filled towns and water sports venues along its shores....

This home is managed by Amanda
This home is managed directly by its owner who will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Peter and Amanda followed their dream to buy the hall, then a dated B&B, back in 2016 and have greatly enjoyed the design and restoration process. Keen travellers themselves, they know just how important it is that every detail is right. They take great pride in being excellent hosts and can't wait to welcome you to their slice of rural heaven.
