Lake District Cottages - Monkhouse Hill

Lake District Cottages at Monkhouse Hill - Great Calva living area

Self-catering may not be an obvious choice for a small business meeting or training event. But at Monkhouse Hill we've created a real alternative to the standard hotel experience. Spacious 4 and 5 star cottages instead of hotel bedrooms, informal meetings on leather sofas or around a giant oak table, a wide range of catering options from 'DIY' to a resident chef, and outside hot tubs or saunas for the occasional 'breakout' session. And all for a significantly lower cost per head than most conventional 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.

Attendees all have their own bedroom; bathrooms are normally shared between two. Alternatively we can quote for an 'own bathroom' or 'shared twin' options 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 selection of complimentary bottles of real ale from our local brewery, 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.
