Junior Suite - Buttermere

The Junior Suite wing was built in 1997 and whilst attached to the main house, stretches north to south through the gardens of the original house. The wing is single storey, so no noise from above, and all lead directly out into the gardens through patio doors. Even in less than perfect weather, you can experience the garden from the comfort of your lounge, enjoying a good book or perhaps a spa treatment. Each patio area has outside table and chairs from spring.

The large bathrooms all have separate walk-in showers, spa baths and double sinks with luxurious toiletries.

As with all our bedrooms, they are equipped with flat screen TVs with digital television, minibars, tea and coffee facilities with home-made biscuits and fresh milk, and a flask of iced water.

Unique features

Buttermere, like Thirlmere, is slightly different being split level, which gives it an extra depth. The patio doors face west onto the croquet lawn and llama paddock. A pond and waterfall to the north of the croquet lawn can be seen, and this is a perfect spot to read. This room gets full sunshine from mid afternoon and is wonderful to watch the sunset, and also has a large window to the east so enjoys light at all times of the day. At the side of Buttermere is a wonderful rockery with predominantly Japanese heathers.
