Askham Hall

An impossibly romantic setting, again in the Lakes, serving tea, cake and lunches in beautiful gardens. Book a room if you can’t drag yourself away from the idyll.

We love this image of Askham Hall, Lowther church and the surrounding area, taken from a hot air balloon by one of our members of staff Joe Stockdale. We are so lucky to be located in such a beautiful part of the Lake District! #askhamhall #lakedistrict #cumbria #lowtherchurch #scenery #views #lowthervalley

The Applestore

A romantic Victorian greenhouse-turned-cafe serving generous homemade portions at breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea.

Finally been to the AppleStore Café in Scorton. First the elephant in the room: the weird name. Nothing to do with apples nor computers. It's a café, a wedding venue, a place where hikers, cake lovers and families hang out. The food area is a log burner heat conservatory split in three areas with lots of room, garden and forest paths leading to the lake and surrounded by the Wyresdale Park The café itself is decorated in a shabby chic "glamping" style, with a few bits that are more shabby than chic. Think mismatched wooden furniture, Cath Kidston print bunting and fairy lights. Food is in-cre-dible and portions are huge, with homemade scones the size of @jennaculsh's head. I can't wait to go there again and have cake! Sadly I was too stuffed after their small (read: huge) breakfast and pick from their mouthwatering selection of cakes Absolutely love the place but I think I prefer cosier and smaller "The Barn" also nestled in the cute village of Scorton #scorton #theapplestore

Turtley Corn Mill

Refined, locally sourced food in an old mill amid the South Hams.

Look at those beautiful layers on that vegetable terrine! This was a dish for our New Years Menu, but it was so beautiful we are going to keep it on for January!
