Special places to stay and eat in the Lake District

Askham Hall

A restaurant with rooms in our historic family home

Askham Hall has been in our family since 1724 and is now home to Allium, our Michelin-starred restaurant. It holds many happy memories for us, is very special to us and we’d like to share it with you. We invite you to make it your own, whether it’s for your time dining with us, for a night, for your wedding or while you take it over exclusively for your own celebration or event.

George and Dragon

Award-winning food, home-grown produce, a warm welcome and lovely bedrooms

Lovingly restored in 2008, it’s now as beloved by locals as it is by visitors to the area. In every way, our roots are embedded deep in the rich history of our surrounding landscape and we’re proud to rear, forage and grow most of the ingredients you’ll see on our menus ourselves, on our family farms and within our kitchen gardens at nearby Askham Hall. You’ll find our field-to-fork approach genuinely ingrained throughout all that we offer; where we can’t provide the produce ourselves, we try to source it locally.

The Queen’s Head

A country pub, cosy rooms, and delicious wood fired pizzas

The Queen’s Head at Askham is a village pub with a difference. Lovingly renovated, and retaining much of its 17th Century character, its interiors offer everything you want from a cosy country pub – a roaring fire, a copper-topped bar, original stone walls and exposed-beam ceilings – and it’s as loved by locals and their dogs as it is by visitors to the area.
