This pet-friendly estate offers the ultimate getaways for parties of up to 22 guests, where magical and memorable family gatherings, special occasions, and once-in-a-lifetime celebrations are the order of the day.

Dunningwell Hall, the perfect blend of historic charm and modern luxury, is set on a lush 26-acre country estate in the popular Lake District. Its vibrant décor, elegant lounges, bar, snooker and dining rooms, 11 luxurious designer suites, all (bar one) with bath and shower, tea and coffee stations, as well as a state-of-the-art kitchen, guest laundry and Wi-Fi, delivers the ultimate countryside experience.

Completed in December 1876, almost 150 years ago, Dunningwell Hall was acquired in 2016 by First Group, a disruptive, global, best-in-class property, leisure & lifestyle creator. Dunningwell Hall marks the Group’s second hospitality venture in the Lake District, after the renowned Brockwood Hall - a haven of Scandinavian lodges, located just minutes away.

Hens and Stag Parties

With being a country destination, sound travels far. To be respectful and courteous to the local community, guests are not permitted to contribute to noise nuisance by playing loud or amplified music, both live and/or recorded between 23:00 and 08:00 on any given day.

Dunningwell Hall will not sell, or serve any alcohol at your event, but you will be able to use our delivery service. You will be able to preorder alcohol, where we will purchase any supplies on your behalf and ensure they are available upon check-in. We will require a minimum of 15 working days’ notice to provide this service.

Groups can not exceed more than 22 people and no day visitors are allowed.

Commercial events are not permitted.

Dunningwell Hall will not tolerate any antisocial behaviour, such as aggressive, noisy or abusive behaviour or neighbourhood disturbances involving drugs, abandoned cars or animals. This includes damage to property either at Dunningwell Hall, or in the surrounding neighbourhood. Guests will be prosecuted accordingly and Dunningwell Hall reserves the right to ask guests to leave the premises.

A £2000 security deposit will be taken for all “Hens” and “Stag” parties. Should the guests breach any of these conditions, Dunningwell Hall is permitted to impose fines, deductible from the deposit.
