creative conferences

Lake District Cottages at Monkhouse Hill - Great Calva living area   Self-catering may not be an obvious choice for a conference or meeting. But at Monkhouse Hill we've created a real alternative to the standard hotel conference experience. Spacious 4 and 5 star cottages instead of hotel bedrooms, informal meetings on leather sofas in luxurious living areas or around a giant oak table, a wide range of catering options from 'DIY' to your own resident chef, and outside hot tubs for the occasional 'breakout' session. And all for a significantly lower cost per head than most conference hotels.

Most of the normal 'conference extras' are of course available -  mobile broadband (no charge), good mobile reception, flipcharts, TV and screen projection, permanently available beverages etc.

Delegates all have their own bedroom; bathrooms are shared between two. Alternatively we can quote for an 'own bathroom' option for fewer delegates if required. Most of the lounge / meeting rooms have panoramic views across the Eden Valley - an inspiring backdrop to any development or decision making event.

And we offer a few more compelling features - try some outdoor adventure activities at a nearby centre, enjoy a complimentary cask of real ale from our local brewery (lockable during the day if you wish!), and take advantage of free access to the North Lakes Spa swimming, gym and other leisure facilities in Penrith. Not to mention some energising hill walking around the spectacular North Lakes.

Previous clients have been a little nervous about whether a self catering event will succeed, but have always reported delight afterwards - not only at the quality of accommodation, but at the quality of contact and communication within the group, which simply would not have taken place in a hotel environment.
