Country House Private Hire

The Ultimate Lake View Country House Experience, Perfect For Any Event

The Venue

A Secluded Haven for Unforgettable Gatherings

Imagine having an entire luxury country house estate all to yourself—nestled in the heart of the Lake District, where sweeping panoramic views, and total seclusion await. With private hire of Holbeck Ghyll, that vision becomes your reality.

At the heart of the estate stands the lake view hunting lodge—an elegant and inviting space that serves as the central hub of the property. This beautifully restored and historic venue is rich in character, offering exquisitely detailed lounge and reception areas, refined dining and event spaces capable of hosting up to 70 guests, and fourteen individually designed en-suite bedrooms that perfectly capture the charm and warmth of classic country house style.

The lodge sits within twelve acres of lake view gardens and woodlands, offering a wealth of outdoor beauty to explore. Guests can enjoy riverside picnic areas, a dedicated marquee lawn for celebrations under the stars, and a further nine dog-friendly en-suite bedrooms nestled across the grounds—each providing comfort, privacy, and stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
