Charming, quaint, beautifully and sympathetically restored. We absolutely loved staying here for my wife’s post 50th birthday celebrations. We couldn’t have made a better choice. Kendal and the surrounding areas are fabulous.

A 250 year old tobacco warehouse built over a stone arch, this industrial inspired retreat is a truely unique self-catering escape. Designed with romance in mind, the honey hued beams, stone walls and handcrafted furnishings are a celebration of its past, with little luxuries like walk in rainfall shower, king sized matress and Egyptian cotton sheets, adding lashings of opulence. Blending the antique with the modern with a dash of eccentricity this space has oodles of character and soul.
Born and bred Cumbrian, I live at present in beautiful Windermere. I am a retired solicitor who in my free time enjoys walking the fells with my dogs, music, rugby and pottery- Not all at once! Restoring historic and interesting buildings is also a passion, having done much of the work in the Tobacco Loft myself. I am very happy to be able to share this beautiful county with others. I Hope you enjoy your visit as much as we enjoy living here Please message host directly
