Holbeck Ghyll is a traditional Country House Hotel served by an intimate and dedicated team. Our hotel is perfectly situated between Ambleside & Windermere and enjoys stunning views of the lake (voted as one of the best in Europe by the Telegraph). Our luxury Lake District getaway is more like a beautiful private home than a hotel, with no two of our richly-appointed rooms the same.

Built in the 19th Century, Holbeck Ghyll was bought in 1888 by Lord Lonsdale, one of the richest men in the country, to use as his hunting lodge.
The "Yellow Earl", as he was known, was the first president of the Automobile Association and bequeathed the famous Lonsdale Belt to boxing.
Between the 1920's and 1973, Holbeck Ghyll was a private house (see a selection of photographs kindly provided by Mr. Beattie).
In 1973 it was converted to a hotel and remained in the same ownership until 1988 when it was acquired by new private owners.
