Garden Suite - Cat Bells

Each Garden Suite has a private decking area accessed through the lounge patio doors. Within the decking is a submerged cedar wood hot tub. These hot tubs are six person hot tubs, so the ultimate luxury for two. Maintained at 38 degrees centigrade (the temperature of a hot bath), these hot tubs are ideal in winter or summer. In fact many guests prefer them in winter as there is no better way of warming through aching muscles after completing a crisp Lake District walk, followed perhaps, by a luxury hotel spa treatment.

Each suite is approximately 45m2 with open plan bedroom and lounge, and bathrooms with separate walk-in showers, sumptuous baths and luxurious toiletries. The lounges have feature fireplaces; flats screen TVs with DVD, mini bars, tea and coffee trays with home-made biscuits, fresh milk and flasks of iced water.

Unique features

Facing east, catch the sunrise over the magnificent oak tree set 25 meters from the decking, which is also floodlit at night. Unique to Cat Bells, the bathroom also has patio doors leading to a private garden surrounded by meadow.

Interior Design notes

Soft, indulgent tones of cappuccino, mocha chino and latte coffees from Brazil, complimented with the rich wenge wood and fresh zing of lime, accented in the walls with handpainted wallpaper from Knowles and Christou. Pattern silks and the curtain fabric "Sukhumvit" in trevira from Bangkok suggest a far eastern flavour.
