Welcome to Dunningwell Hall, a grand, design-led Victorian mansion set on a private 26-acre Lake District estate, where heritage charm meets modern luxe comfort.

Choose your stay style:
  • Book the full house exclusively for your group and make it your own private mansion. Dogs are welcome on full-house bookings on the ground floor only.
  • Or book individual suites for a boutique bed and breakfast stay. Breakfast is included and pets are not permitted on single-suite bookings.

Inside, you’ll find 11 luxurious designer ensuite suites, each with its own tea and coffee station, plus elegant lounges, a bar, snooker and dining rooms, and a sleek, fully equipped kitchen. It’s made for family gatherings, milestone celebrations, corporate retreats, and those “we should do this more often” weekends.

Outside, the estate is all scenic walks, gardens, and woodland calm, with standout extras like a 16-seater hot tub, snooker, darts, board games, Xbox, Swingball, football, basketball, and cricket, plus a carefully curated library for slow afternoons. Just five minutes away, you’ve got the local favourite Billy@Brockwood Restaurant and a convenient onsite shop, both at Brockwood Hall.

Built in 1876 and beautifully restored, Dunningwell Hall is a rare place, historic, elevated, and completely unforgettable. Acquired by First Group in 2016, it sits alongside the Group’s Lake District collection, including the much-loved Brockwood Hall with its Scandinavian lodges.
